You've waited long enough, and the time has come! Modern R&B songstress Jhene Aiko is finally coming to perform the highly personal music of her 2020 album Chilombo on the San Francisco stage.
Coming to the Chase Center on Monday, Aug. 5, this show helps kick off the second leg of her mosty sold-out The Magic Hour tour. The programming of the show is more than just a presentation of the "Sativa" singer's hits. It's a fascinating and psychedelic expression of her life story, brought to dramatic heights with emotional performances and spell-binding production.

The Magic Hour tour has stunned audiences across the country, and now it’s your turn to experience these incredible songs in vibrant live dimension. Here’s everything you need to know about Monday’s event to have the best time ever.
How To Park
First of all, whether you’re using rideshare to get to the venue or driving yourself, we highly recommend buffering your travel time with an extra half hour or so to account for heightened traffic in the area. Then go ahead and add another 15 minutes to handle your parking your own car.
The Chase Center offers space to pre-paid parking pass holders at two distinct garages: the Mercedes-Benz Garage, accessible from 390 16th St. and 99 Warriors Way; and the Warriors Way Garage, accessible at 150 Warriors Way. Both garages are set to open at 5 p.m. the day of the concerts, and both garages close at midnight. You can learn even more about how to reach these garages at chasecenter.com/parking.
If you didn’t nab a limited parking pass in time, there are third-party operated garages recommended by the Chase Center at 1800 Owens St., and the corner of 19th Street and Illinois Street. When there are no events at Oracle Park, the Chase Center also recommends parking at Lot A at 74 Mission Rock St.
Bag Policy
Yes, we’re sure you have the cutest purse picked out for this highly-fashionable show, but if your bag is any larger than 14” long and 6” wide, it’s going to have to be checked at the bag valet on Terry A Francois Blvd for a $10 fee. Backpacks are never allowed, although smaller fashion backpacks and diaper bags that look like backpacks can get a pass if they meet the 14” x 6” requirement. All bags will be searched and screened.
Tickets
First of all, get your tickets for Monday’s show here. Now that that’s out of the way:
Printed tickets are a thing of the past at the Chase Center, because the venue has gone completely contactless—at least for entry. Make sure your mobile ticket is ready to be scanned once you get to security, either on your TicketMaster app or the Warriors + Chase Center Mobile App.
It’s always a good idea to download and access your ticket page before leaving the house, in case of a lowered cell signal due to crowds or lack of on-site WiFi. However, please be advised that screenshots of digital tickets don’t always work. Be sure to read the fine print of your mobile ticket.
The Openers
Jhene Aiko isn’t the only powerful voice you’ll experience on Monday’s stage. There are a slew of top-tier openers ready to warm up the crowd, including “Players” rapper Coi Leray, R&B singer Tink, “wherever u r” singer UMI, and “EX” singer Kiana Lede.
The Setlist
The soft-spoken singer will work through a hefty set of fan favorites and radio hits, from brand-new song “Guidance” to the classic “3:16 a.m.,” Drake hit “From Time,” Omarion feature “Post To Be,” Big Sean collab “Beware” and more.
