Can't Miss It: Wednesday
I KNOW I AM, I'M SURE I AM: Let's get one thing straight: Manchester United's fandom runs over a century deep. The Red Devils have been scoring goals and inciting riots for generations, and their supporters have the scars to show. That being said, the comparatively youthful Sounders have managed to garner quite a following themselves--and you want to make sure Man. U. knows it, right? Raise your scarves and show those hooligans what American football fans look like at tonight's home game.
Sounders vs. Manchester United as CenturyLink (was Qwest) Field // 7 p.m. // $47+
CALIFORNIA DREAMIN': Just when you thought you were too old for pop music, along came Katy. With her Zooey-esque doe eyes, her enviable (and, at times, questionable) pin-up apparel and her ultra-catchy hits, you couldn't help yourself. More than a few times, you've found yourself whistling "Teenage Dream" on the bus, and you know what? You weren't even ashamed. Catch the lady Perry tonight at Key Arena. We're pretty sure you won't be the only adult there.
Katy Perry at Key Arena // 7:30 p.m. // $29.50+
NO LINES, NO WAITING: Looking for something a little less...that? We can understand that. The U Village's summer concert series has you covered with a free event that will help you block out the music video that we've embedded at the bottom of the page. Featuring Star Anna & the Laughing Dogs, a very talented group out of Ellensburg, as well as singer/songwriter Kristen Ward, this laid-back lineup is the perfect cap to a Katy Perry-free Summer day.
Star Anna & the Laughing Dogs, with Kristen Ward // U. Village // 6 p.m. // Free
