Waxahatchee + MJ Lenderman — Bay Area shows
- Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman hit San Francisco on Tuesday, May 5, playing The Masonic with Brennan Wedl as opener on a West Coast run. - The Bay Area stop was listed for 7:30 p.m. at SF Masonic Auditorium, and MJ Lenderman’s own tour page marked it sold out. (axs.com) - The bigger point is that this was the only Bay Area date in that May 2–6 stretch before the tour moved south. (mjlenderman.com)
The Bay Area part of this story is simpler than the early listings made it sound. Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman did have a San Francisco stop this week — but it was one show, not a mini Bay Area run. That concert happened on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, at The Masonic, with Brennan Wedl opening. By Saturday, May 9, that date is already in the rearview mirror, and the tour has moved on. (axs.com) ### Was there actually a Bay Area run? (mjlenderman.com) Not really. The Bay Area appearance tied to this package was the San Francisco date at The Masonic on May 5. The nearby dates around it were Portland on May 2, Seattle on May 3, and Los Angeles on May 6, which makes San Francisco look like a single Northern California stop inside a short West Coast swing. ### Who was on the bill? The package was Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman, with Brennan Wedl billed as special guest on the San Francisco listing. (dothebay.com) That lines up across the event pages that were still live this week, so the basic lineup seems consistent even where different sites shortened the billing. ### Where and when was the San Francisco show? The concrete details are pretty clear. The concert was at SF Masonic Auditorium — usually styled as The Masonic or SF Masonic — on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, with a listed start time of 7:30 p.m. (mjlenderman.com) If someone saw vague “this week” language and wondered whether there was still a Bay Area date ahead, the answer on May 9 is no — that show already happened four days ago. ### Was it sold out? Looks like yes, or at least that was the status shown on MJ Lenderman’s official tour page. (dothebay.com) That matters because it explains why some fans may have found the date through resale or discovery sites instead of a straightforward primary onsale page. AXS still had the event page up, but the artist page was already flagging the San Francisco stop as sold out. ### Why did the listings feel confusing? Because event discovery pages flatten everything into a calendar view. (axs.com) A DoTheBay listing can make a single stop feel like part of a broader local cluster, especially when the surrounding tour dates are close together and all the artist names stay the same. But once you line up the official and ticketing pages, the shape is obvious — one San Francisco date, then straight to Los Angeles. (mjlenderman.com) ### What does this say about the tour? Basically, this was a tightly packed co-headline stretch. Ticketmaster’s Waxahatchee page showed multiple April and May dates with MJ Lenderman and, on many stops, Brennan Wedl. The West Coast leg visible this week was compact and theater-sized, which fits where both artists are right now — big enough for prestigious rooms, still small enough that a single Bay Area night can sell through. ### So what should Bay Area fans know now? (dothebay.com) If you were hoping to catch this pairing locally this weekend, you missed the window. The Bay Area date was Tuesday, May 5, at The Masonic in San Francisco, and there’s no sign in the current listings of a second Bay Area stop later in the same run. ### Bottom line? The real story is not “Bay Area shows.” It’s one Bay Area show — Waxahatchee and MJ Lenderman at The Masonic on May 5, with Brennan Wedl opening — and it appears to have sold out before the tour rolled south.
