Wednesday’s got no business feeling this long, so let’s cut through the midweek slump with a little 2000s-era serotonin. Barenaked Ladies, Guster, and Fastball – yes, your favorite alt-radio lineup is hitting Cal Coast Open Air on 6/20, and we’re giving away tickets. Enter now!

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Country with a side of alt-rock heartbreak – Eli Young Band rolls into House of Blues with hits that’ve soundtracked more than a few barstool epiphanies. Catch ’em live and sing along like it’s 2011 all over again.

  • The countdown is on for an epic season of music and entertainment at North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre. Make 2025 the best year yet by securing your 2025 Season Tickets and Premium Experiences today.*

  • Jackie Greene’s headed to Belly Up, bringing the kind of soulful Americana that makes you want to trade your phone for a harmonica. From Black Crowes cred to solo groove, he’s the real deal. Tickets drop Friday!

  • Big Wild brings his Wild Child Tour to The Sound. Known for flipping between producer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist mid-set, he blends electronic, indie, and funk into one euphoric swirl. Tickets go on sale Friday.

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Surfer Girl, Wooli, Benson Boone, Wargirl, Moon Panda, Jb Saxx, Acid Mothers Temple, and more!
