Tuesday Night in Calgary Runs from Soul to Metal
Mentioned in this guide — what’s on
All Calgary events →Tonight's options range from death metal at The Arrowhead to soul at the Jubilee, with comedy, speed dating and a paint-and-sip filling the gaps.
Tuesday evening in Calgary is busier than a Tuesday has any right to be. The headliner argument is genuinely hard to settle: "Thee Sacred Souls & The Womack Sisters ↗" at the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium at 8 p.m. is the kind of soul bill that sells out and then people ask why they didn't go, while "Blue Rodeo" at Grey Eagle Event Centre kicks off at the same hour for a crowd that knows every word to every song. Pick your lane.
On the heavier end, "KATAKLYSM & SIX FEET UNDER w/ WORMHOLE & SNAKEPIT ↗" opens at The Arrowhead at 6 p.m. — get there early enough to catch the support acts, which are worth your time.
For comedy, you've got a few directions. "Exclusively at Comedy Cave | Tommy Mellor | August 4-8" starts at 6:30 p.m. at The Comedy Cave for a week-long residency that's just getting going. "Stand up Comedy in broken English • Victor Patrascan in Calgary" plays Yuk Yuk's at 8 p.m., and "Crosswalk Comedy" takes over Civic Tavern at the same time.
If you'd rather do something more participatory, "Calgary | Straight Speed Dating | Ages 34-43 | Aug 4" runs at Hitman's Bar at 7 p.m., and "Calgary's Paint & Sip Experience at Raw Canvas: $25 Tuesday, Level 1" offers a low-key creative night for $25 from 6:30 p.m. The temperature tonight should sit around a comfortable mid-single digits after dark, so layer up if you're walking between venues.
