This Week’s Bay Area Concert Fix: Nov, 2-8, 2026

Hey Music Junkies!

I have your concert fix for you! Nov 2 through Sunday Nov 8 brings the Psychedelic Furs to the Guild on Monday night, Rival Sons in Sacramento, Pinhead Gunpowder twice in one week (Gilman on Friday, August Hall on Saturday), Fitz and The Tantrums doing two different nights at the Guild, and Buzzcocks closing out Sunday at Ace of Spades. Goldfield in Roseville leans hard into hardcore and metal. Check with the venue before you head out, because times and sellouts can change. Note: 924 Gilman shows require a $5 annual membership card for entry.
