Locals love The Independent for its sightlines and sound in a room that holds only a few hundred people, so even bigger touring acts feel intimate. The calendar swings from indie rock and hip-hop to electronic and folk, and it anchors the Divisadero corridor’s bars and restaurants. It is general admission and standing room, so arrive early if you want a spot along the rail or near the bar.
