RSVPs Open: Epic Secret Free “Humans Only” Concert Tonight (SF)

Humans only concert in San Francisco. Free for real humans on April 17, 2026. Doors open at 8PM (venue and ticket information live at 11AM).

On April 17th, World presents two Grammy nominated and award winning DJs for an all-vinyl, all energy, all human set somewhere between funk, soul, disco and house. Free tickets, verified humans only

Funcheap Take
The “mystery” lineup just got a whole lot bigger with Janelle Monáe and DJ Pee .Wee (aka Anderson .Paak’s DJ alter ego) stepping in for what’s shaping up to be one of the most unique shows of the year.

Think: all-vinyl sets, zero bots, and a crowd that’s 100% human. This is part concert, part experiment, and part flex on scalpers.

Here’s the catch (and why you should move fast):
To keep things exclusive (and actually human), you’ll need to verify your identity through World before you can grab a free ticket. No verification = no entry.

If you’re not already verified, you’ll need to visit the World flagship retail location at World Flagship Store at 281 Geary Street in Union Square to get it done. This just launched at 11am today, so expect demand.

HOW TO CLAIM FREE TICKETS

1) Download the World App
https://world.org/download

2) Find an Orb & Verify
https://world.org/find-orb
Head to the World Flagship Location at 281 Geary Street in Union Square if you haven’t already done so to verify in person.

3) Unlock & Copy Your Code
Once verified, you’ll get a unique access code tied to your World ID.

4) Redeem Your Ticket
Use your code on TIXR to claim your free “Humans Only” ticket.

This isn’t your typical free show. Limited access, major artists, and a very intentional “no bots, no scalpers” setup. If you want in, don’t wait—get verified ASAP before tickets disappear.
