Every Friday night for the past 49 weeks, RVA Mag has brought you an absolutely essential playlist curated by Virginia’s most influential artists, musicians, and institutions.

Now for week 50 of our ongoing Weekend Playlist feature, we bring you a very special new playlist from Avail. After all, tonight’s the night — the first of two hometown shows marking Avail’s first live performances in over a decade happens at The National, only a few short hours from now.

Did you get your tickets? Are you seeing them tomorrow? Or are you one of the many who got bit by a lack of ready cash at the proper time? Regardless of which of these categories you fall into, you’re sure to love this playlist cooked up special for RVA Magazine’s readers by Avail to celebrate their return.

From classic punk, hardcore, and metal tunes to unexpected detours taking us through the outskirts of country, hip hop, and acid rock, this playlist really has it all — and it goes on for 50 tracks, one for each of our 50 weeks providing you with Weekend Playlists.

Get stoked, Virginia.
