It’s already August & summer still has so much more to bring! Love, sunshine, & reggae-rock! Tours are still travelling along & sweet shows are bringing all that sweet sound we can’t get enough of! Check out what The Pier has featured in this Weekend’s Show Locator!
After a sick show last night in Fullerton, California, Reeform is moving from an opening spot with Seedless to the headliners in Oceanside! The North County San Diego band Reeform will be rockin’ with The StirCrazies and with a new EP set to hit the scene this summer, the band is bound to play some new material! It is free before 9:00pm so get there early!
Starting Saturday at 5:00pm, doors will be opening in Downtown Modesto for the 13th annual X FEST. About two hours east of San Francisco, this one night outdoor event will be featuring 60 bands on 12 stages including some of our favorite reggae-rock bands. The Expendables, Iration, Tribal Seeds, The Holdup, High Tide, and Irieside will be holdin’ down! With DJ sets, rock bands, cover bands, and plenty more, you can catch some reggae-rock and entire festival in one night!
With the presence of the Olympics on American television throughout the country, it’s beautiful to see the world unite under determination, sportsmanship, and athleticism. Reggae music has been one of the sources for unity of people since more notably, Bob Marley! So with that said, our top tunes are being performed live all around the world this weekend. Pepper in Brazil; Katchafire in New Zealand; The Black Seeds in Belgium; The Aggrolites in Canada; Jimmy Cliff in France; Fat Freddy’s Drop in the United Kingdom! Your favorite songs are being played live despite cultural and language barriers. Now that is awesome!
