Converse doing 5 insane free shows in San Francisco (Hot Chip, Quicksand, Rocket from the Crypt, Deltron 3030 & more)

Quicksand @ Webster Hall recently (more by Rebecca Reed) Quicksand

We get a lot of great free shows here in NYC (like The Walkmen and Solange as part of Northside this weekend) but we have to admit this week of free all-ages shows Converse has lined up at San Francisco club Slim’s later this month is pretty crazy (though they may be pretty hard to get into). We’d happily spend the whole week there if we could. The line-ups are:

Converse Represent series in San Francisco

Jun 23 – Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, DIIV, Metz, Tamaryn, The She’s

JUN 24 –Deltron 3030, Juicy J, Blackalicious, Angel Haze, Special Guest

JUN 25 – Hot Chip, Tycho, Blackbird Blackbird, Social Studies

JUN 26 – Quicksand, Mastodon, High On Fire, Saviours, Hot Lunch

JUN 27 – Suicidal Tendencies, Rocket From The Crypt, Ceremony, Special Guests

The only way to go is to fill out the entry form before June 18 and “winning ticket holders will be notified via email soon after with instructions on how and when to retrieve their tickets.” All events, “which lead up to the grand opening of the Converse San Francisco retail store on June 28”, will take place at Slim’s in San Francisco.

Meanwhile, for those in the Five Boroughs (and surrounding area) browse our NYC show calendar for more upcoming free shows.
