INDIANA FEVER VS. CONNECTICUT SUN

No one can argue how hot the Fever are. They've clinched a spot in the playoffs, and although the Sun have been eliminated, Friday will still be a great opportunity to see Kelsey Mitchell, Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, Lexie Hull, and the rest of the team in action with one of the WNBA's highest-scoring offenses. Gainbridge Fieldhouse will be on fire as the Fever continue their intense momentum. Tickets are $62 and up.

FORTY5 PRESENTS FLOOD RELIEF BENEFIT CONCERT

Come ready to groove Friday at The Vogue as Dizgo and Hyryder bring their creative jam-band styles to a special show for a great cause. These will be some funky, psychedelic, dance party vibes. Each $10 ticket goes entirely to flood relief in the surrounding Broad Ripple community, and if you feel like giving more, it will be appreciated. Let the good times roll and rock for relief. All attendees must be 21 or older.
