Oakland music lovers have a lot to look forward to this weekend, with several big-name bands and artists playing The Town’s largest venues.

Don’t have tickets yet? Don’t worry. There are still plenty of available tickets on platforms like SeatGeek, StubHub and Ticketmaster.

Here's your roundup of upcoming concerts in Oakland that still have empty seats to fill, in genres ranging from rock to folk to hip-hop. 

Thursday, Sept. 21st

Milky Chance (Fox Theater)

The weekend starts early at the Fox Theater, where Milky Chance will perform.

The German folk group is promoting its new album, Blossom. Thursday's pit-stop in Oakland is part of a 2017-2018 tour spanning the United States, Canada and Europe.

General admission tickets for Milky Chance’s Fox Theater concert are $66.90 a pop on StubHub, including all fees. Although there aren’t many upstairs Loge tickets left, Ticketmaster has a couple of seats in Row C for $99, but you have to buy them in pairs.



Last Day of Summer 2017 (Oracle Arena)

Summer may come to a close with this Friday's autumnal equinox, but tickets are still available at Oracle Arena for the Last Day of Summer 2017, a hip-hop concert presented by Spekdrum and featuring Migos, Cardi B, SOB X RBE, YFN Lucci and Tee Grizzley.

If you’re looking to splurge, the best value ticket on StubHub is Row 10 of section Floor B, where individual tickets are selling for $179.39, including all fees. However, there are also some seats over in Club 113, where it’s possible to feel close to the stage and still have some cash left in your wallet.

SeatGeek has the cheapest seats, in Oracle’s peanut gallery. A seat in Row 17 of Section 232 will cost you $76.



Friday, Sept. 22nd

Gov't Mule (Fox Theater)

If your Friday happy place is a night out at the Fox, check out this Southern rock band, better known to fans as “Mule." The group is set to take the stage at 8pm, performing jams from its newest studio album, Revolution Come … Revolution Go.

On Ticketmaster, the best available general-admission tickets are going for $50.05, which includes additional fees.

If you'd prefer a seat with a view, there’s minimal availability in Row A of Loge Center for $163.51 on StubHub.



Glass Animals (the Greek Theatre)

If you’d rather be outdoors this Friday evening, head to Berkeley's amphitheatre, where indie-rock band Glass Animals will play at 7pm. The band is on tour promoting its second album, How To Be A Human Being.

Compared to other online vendors, StubHub has the best deal, with general-admission lawn tickets listed at $74.05. 


Saturday, Sept. 22rd

Blood Orange (Fox Theater)

The solo project of Devonté Hynes, a British singer-songwriter and composer, Blood Orange is coming to the Fox on Saturday. The lowest-priced general-admission ticket is $45.45 on Ticketmaster.

There are still some lofty Loge Center seats available, but they’re only being sold in pairs. Two tickets in Row A will cost you $170 on Ticketmaster, or you can grab a pair of Row B seats for $230.28 on StubHub.



Sunday, Sept. 24th

Paramore with Best Coast (Paramount Theatre)

Rock group Paramore takes the stage at 7:30pm at the Paramount Theatre. The band, which will be joined by Los Angeles-based duo Best Coast, is on tour to promote its album After Laughter, released in May.

SeatGeek still has single orchestra tickets available in Row K for $220 each and a pair of Row V Balcony seats for $132 each.

Should those sell out, there's also an option to buy tickets in the theater’s nosebleed section—Ticketmaster has a pair of tickets in Row K of the balcony for $114.30 each.
