Made up by Elijah Gibbins-Croft, Oey James, and Ian Robles, Foxtide is a byproduct of being bred by the beach and raised by a DIY house show scene. The SoCal three-piece was formed around garage jam sessions and earned their cult following through the intense vitality of their live shows.
First starting to release music in 2019, it was the band’s second EP Visons in 2021 that took themfrom a hometown secret to a band to watch nationally. Foxtide has previously played alongside The Backseat Lovers, Echo & The Bunnymen, Lime Cordiale, Sarah and the Sundays, Mustard Service, Beach Goons, and joined the lineup of Shabang, Nothing Fest, and more.
Moving into the chapter of their next project, Foxtide is abandoning the idea that they need tocreate “perfect” music, and simply making what they like to listen to. Tinged with the aloofness of early 2000s rock, while experimenting with the formulas of modern pop, all threads are knotted inthe authenticity behind Foxtide’s unrelenting love for music. The band's third EP 'Paradise' helped them secure critical looks from Fashionably Early 'Bands that Deserve to be Bigger', Luna Collective Magazine, and their debut LA headline show selling out. Their most recent recordearned them the cover of Fashionably Early's playlist as well as their first editorial look from Spotifyin 'All New Rock,' and Apple's 'New In Rock' and 'New In Alternative.'

RAYLAND BAXTER
with special guest
GRACE CUMMINGS
-
For the making of his fourth album If I Were a Butterfly, Rayland Baxter holed up for over a year at a former rubber-band factory turned studio in the Kentucky countryside—a seemingly humble environment that proved to be something of a wonderland. “I spent that year living in a barn with the squirrels and the birds, on my own most of the time, and I discovered so much about music and how to create it,” says the Tennessee-bred singer/songwriter. “Instead of going into a studio with a producer for two weeks, I just waited for the record to build itself. I’d get up and go outside, see a butterfly and connect that with some impulsive thought I’d had three months ago, and suddenly a song I’d been working on would make sense. That’s how the whole album came to be.”
The follow-up to 2018’s critically acclaimed Wide Awake, If I Were a Butterfly finds Baxter co-producing alongside Tim O’Sullivan (Grace Potter, The Head and the Heart) and Kai Welch (Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull), slowly piecing together the album’s patchwork of lush psychedelia and Beatlesesque pop. In addition to working at Thunder Sound (the Kentucky studio he called home for months on end), Baxter recorded in California, Texas, Tennessee, and Washington, enlisting a remarkable lineup of musicians: Shakey Graves, Lennon Stella, several members of Cage the Elephant, Zac Cockrell of Alabama Shakes, Morning Teleportation’s Travis Goodwin, and legendary Motown drummer Miss Bobbye Hall, among many others. In an especially meaningful turn, two of the album’s tracks feature the elegant pedal steel work of his father, Bucky Baxter (a musician who performed with Bob Dylan and who passed away in May 2020). Thanks to the extraordinary care and ingenuity behind its creation, If I Were a Butterfly arrives as a work of rarefied magic, capable of stirring up immense feeling while leaving the listener happily wonderstruck.

The Green: Hawaii’s Reggae Powerhouse
For over 15 years, The Green has been a cornerstone of the reggae music scene, seamlessly blending island roots with global appeal. Based in Hawaii, the band has become one of the most beloved and influential acts to emerge from the islands, pioneering U.S. mainland tours and sharing stages with reggae legends like Rebelution, Iration, SOJA, and Jamaica’s own Damian Marley. Their widespread acclaim caught the attention of Grammy-winning superstar Bruno Mars, who invited them to open for his sold-out shows at Honolulu’s Blaisdell Arena in 2014 and Hawaii’s iconic Aloha Stadium in 2018.
The Green’s festival appearances are as impressive as their touring history. They’ve captivated audiences at iconic events such as Vans Warped Tour, California Roots Festival, Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, One Love Cali Reggae Festival, and Holo Holo Music Festival. In 2024, the band reached a career milestone, headlining arena shows on Maui and Oahu alongside special guest Allen Stone, delivering electrifying performances to their hometown fans.
From their debut album to their latest EP, Summertime, The Green has consistently transported listeners to a realm of sincerity, culture, and growth. Their 2021 album, Brand New Eyes, marked a transformative phase in their journey—not just as musicians but as husbands and fathers. To celebrate its release, the band hosted Brand New Eyes: The Experience, Hawaii’s first rooftop concert, atop Waikiki’s International Market Place. This landmark event, captured on their YouTube channel, highlighted The Green’s creativity and connection to their roots.

Ventura Music Hall Presents:
Is The New Sound a tonic for these times? Let’s ask Geordie Greep.
“Music can be so much more than learning to play the same as everybody else. It can be anything you want. With recording The New Sound, it was the first time I have had no one to answer to. Being in a band (black midi), we often have this ‘we can do everything’ feeling, but you are also kind of limited in that approach, and sometimes it's good to do something else, to let go of things.” Geordie’s debut solo album boasts a brand of high quality, all-embracing alternative pop fun not heard in a very long time, walking the line between the ridiculous and brilliant with a teflon-coated aplomb.
How the record came about is a thing to marvel at. Over thirty session musicians were involved in its making, on two continents. Greep says, “Half of the tracks were done in Brazil, with local musicians pulled together at the last minute. They’d never heard anything I’d done before, they were just interested in the demos I’d made. The tracking was all done in one, maybe two days.” The spirit of Greep’s increasingly febrile and furtive soliloquies simultaneously calls to mind both Frank Zappa and Frank Sinatra, with a healthy dash of Scott Walker sprinkled throughout. The instrumental title track is a jazz-funk workout that could double as a soundtrack for a TV series or the intro music for a Broadway musical. Brass, wah-wah pedal and bass stabs, choruses and polyrhythms, all fizz and tumble around the place creating a sense of excitement and expectation. Tracks often oscillate from whispers to shouts, and start and end on a bang.
The stories themselves act as a shopping list of the Active Male Imagination. A series of vignettes, where Geordie Greep plays the role of emcee and conductor. The characters we hear from are engaged in wild fantasies and situations in which they inevitably falter. “The main theme of the record is desperation; someone who is kidding themselves that they have everything under control, but they don’t.” Here Greep gives color to a set of imaginings which include cannibalism, being boiled alive, and a woman giving birth to a goat. Street life is all around The New Sound: the listener is thrown into a world of cafes, bars, rented rooms, cabarets and strange museums. Here we see our heroes carry out a series of naughty assignments, military cosplay or socio-economic triumphs. The lines between parody and sermon are often blurred. The urbane romantic fantasy of single ‘Holy Holy’ tells the story of an imaginary liaison in a nightclub, soundtracked by ’noughties indie chords and bravura Latin big band arrangements - including a three-piano attack. What next? “My plan is to ‘do a Keith Jarrett thing’, have a different group of session musicians in a different place and lean into the fact that we’re not going to get it the same.”
How can anything ever be ‘the same’ with Greep at the helm?

SHE WANTS REVENGE
with
ROSEGARDEN FUNERAL PARTY
She Wants Revenge, the dark-alternative duo who first exploded onto the scene with the 2005 hit, “Tear You Apart”, are back with a new song, festival appearances, a new lineup, and a massive global audience hungry for the 3rd wave gothic rock they ushered in 2up and down decades before.
For Justin Warfield and Adam Bravin, She Wants Revenge began as a production duo making songs to DJ at clubs. But when a 3-song demo was passed to a friend, they signed to Geffen records, and soon the songs became the basis of their 2005 self-titled LP. They hit the road supporting Bloc Party, The Kills, and OKGO, and along the way, “Tear You Apart” became a bona fide hit. Soon they were opening for Depeche Mode, The Psychedelic Furs, Placebo, co-headlining with Peter Murphy of Bauhaus, headlining Coachella alongside Daft Punk, and in constant rotation on alternative rock across the country. In under a year the oddball tune they thought to be an evil cousin of the B52’s and Wall of Voodoo saw them blitzing through the late-night talk show circuit, and with singles “Out of Control”, and “These Things” also climbing the charts, they went on to sell over 300,000 albums.
Though they came to prominence in the mid-aughts post-punk revival, Justin and Adam were more indebted to their early influences; Prince, Tangerine Dream, ELO, Giorgio Moroder, and 90s hip-hop. It was their true to the era production style, thoughtful songwriting, and heart-on-the-sleeve lyricism which ran counter to the studied dance punk and emotionally distanced, clever sound of their contemporaries which endeared them to the legions of fans who hungered for their brand of bold, emotive music which was sorely lacking at the time. In doing so, they made fans of both the older “all-black” crowd as well as their younger counterparts, and more pointedly, drew nods and praise from the bands who directly inspired them - cementing SWR’s legacy as torch bearers for the moody and morose who came before.
They release their 2nd LP (2007) This Is Forever, followed by back-to-back EP’s Save Your Soul (2008) and Up and Down (2009), and finally, their swan song, Valleyheart (2011). Musically and creatively, their sound evolved, but as blogs and streaming reshaped the industry, the live shows still grew as more and more devoted fans discovered them. Along the way they collaborated with Timbaland, made videos with Shirley Manson and Joaquin Phoenix, and created a body of work that both broke new ground, while also paying homage to the music, films, and pop-culture of the 70s and 80s which shaped their youth.
Road-worn and weary from a breakneck touring schedule, the band announced in 2012 that they’d be going on an indefinite hiatus. For their fans to whom they’d become like musical family, this was nothing short of heartbreaking, the uncertainty of the word, “hiatus” only making it worse. But behind the scenes, it was clear; this was a break-up, and difficult as it may have been, it was the only way to retain the friendship which was at the heart of all they’d done, so they went their separate ways, played a round of farewell shows, and dove head-first into separate projects and creative pursuits.
But as sometimes happens, the universe had other plans, and in late 2015, following a 4-year hiatus, fan, friend, and vocal supporter Lady Gaga put “Tear You Apart” in the premiere episode of her star turn in American Horror Story, instantly reigniting interest in the band. Suddenly SWR was back in the charts and steadily streaming, and overnight, the broken-up duo was now the “favorite new band” of young audiences longing for more of what they heard on the show.
The band could no longer ignore the signs, and in 2016 they reunited for the 10-year anniversary of their debut album and hit the road playing the album in its entirety for captive audiences worldwide. Old fans were ecstatic, and new fans were thrilled to finally see them live. What started as a tour to honor their anniversary turned into a 4-year sprint across the US, Canada, Europe, and the UK. The band was in top form, the tours were well-attended, and the momentum was building.
In early 2020 after a run of sold-out shows in LA, they sat down to finally record a new album, but when the pandemic hit, like everyone else, their personal and professional worlds were turned upside down.
In 2022 they reconvened, and more driven than ever, set about touring like they had in the early days, covering the entire US, Eastern and Western Europe, the UK, and Australia. What they discovered wasn’t just sold-out shows in nearly every market, but new, young audiences of teenagers and 20-somethings brought up on the 3rd wave goth that the boys inspired, yet never had the chance to see them live. Reinvigorated, inspired, and more certain of their place and purpose than ever, they began work on their long-awaited 4th album, writing and recording between tours.
2024 not only saw the band become the most popular they’d ever been on DSP’s (2.5 million monthly listeners, but also was the year a deep-cut from the 2009 EP Up And Down went viral on TikTok, with hundreds of thousands of creator-generated videos circulating, hoisting the song to the #2 most popular of the band’s catalog.
Now, with a revamped lineup featuring Justin on vocals/guitar, Adam on Bass VI and synths,Thomas Froggatt (formerly guitar) on bass, Tony Bevilacqua (The Distillers) on guitar, and Lia Braswell (Sextile, A Place To Bury Strangers, TR/ST) on drums, the revitalized SWR exudes the same sort of spirit they first hit the road with 20 years ago.
With prominent slots at their beloved hometown Cruel World festival, the UK’s sister fest Forever Now, plans for the Summer and into next year, a new song in the wings, and recording of the long-teased 4th LP still underway, She Wants Revenge is doing what would seem impossible for bands of their era - staying true to the dark dance music and gothic sound they first pioneered decades past, while also remaining fresh, reinventing, and playing music with joy to the millions of kids getting to experience it for the first time.

About TAKE3
TAKE3 was founded by violinist and vocalist Lindsay Deutsch, a Colburn Conservatory-trained soloist who toured the world with Yanni before deciding classical music's rulebook needed rewriting. Joined by cellist and pianist, all with deep roots in the nation's finest conservatories, the trio seamlessly merges pop, rock, Americana, country, and classical favorites into a single electrifying show. Deutsch's violin can be heard throughout Netflix's The Witcher and Hulu's The Thing About Pam, and the group performs over 50 dates across the U.S. each season, playing performing arts centers, symphony halls, and festivals. Known as much for their warmth and humor as for their virtuosity, TAKE3 leaves audiences on their feet every night.

To celebrate, The Black Angels-Alex Maas (vocals/bass), Christian Bland (guitar), Stephanie Bailey (drums), Jake Garcia (guitar),and Misti Hamrick (bass) are returning to the road to perform the album in full, along with their greatest hits.
Formed in Austin, Texas in 2004, The Black Angels have become one of the most influential bands of the modern psychedelic rock movement. Drawing inspiration from forebears such as Syd Barrett, Roky Erickson, Arthur Lee, and The Velvet Underground, the band crafts a soundthat is both reverent to the genre’s roots and fiercely forward-looking, hypnotic, heavy, political, and immersive.

Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and musician Marc Broussard is a unique performer who embodies the essence of American soul and has forged his own distinct musical style. The son of Louisiana Hall of Fame guitarist Ted Broussard of "The Boogie Kings," he nurtured his musical gifts at an early age in the vibrant Lafayette, Louisiana, music scene. After releasing a highly successful independent EP at age 20, Broussard made his major-label debut with Carencro. The album featured the breakout hit "Home" and propelled him into the international spotlight. That album and the others that followed revealed Broussard as a Southern soul singer with a rarefied talent and an innate stylistic and emotional authenticity that has made him one of the most indelible artists of his generation. The Louisiana-born and raised artist has created a wide range of music in his career. Carencro laid the groundwork with unequaled style, illustrating his knack for modern soul music and setting the stage for his long and distinguished career. NPR cited, "His music radiates soulful Louisiana blues, but his songs blend those influences with raucous rock 'n' roll to create unique and infectious music." Washington Times noted, "Few modern voices are as powerful as Marc Broussard's soulful, Bayou-bred baritone."

ADAM CAROLLA
ADAM CAROLLA is best known as a comedian, actor, radio personality, television host and NY
Times best-selling author. He currently hosts THE ADAM CAROLLA SHOW, which holds the
Guinness Book of World Records for “most downloaded podcast." Adam started THE ADAM
CAROLLA SHOW podcast from his home office in Feb. 2009. The podcast now receives more
than 30 million downloads a month and has been featured in Fast Company Magazine,
Entrepreneur, The New York Times and The Los Angeles Times.
After years “digging ditches and swinging hammers” on construction sites throughout Southern
California led to a job rebuilding a boxing gym, Adam traded on that for an opportunity to coach
boxing. Little did he know this would lead to a fateful meeting with Jimmy Kimmel which would
officially put him on the path to comedy stardom. After joining Kimmel on KROQ's hit morning
show Adam launched his national comedy career on the syndicated radio program LOVELINE
with Dr. Drew Pinsky. MTV developed a television version of the show, which was co-hosted by
Adam and Dr. Drew for five seasons (1996-2000). With Jimmy Kimmel (and their partner Daniel
Kellison) Adam created and starred in two hit Comedy Central shows, THE MAN SHOW
(1999-2003) and CRANK YANKERS (2002‐2005). He later took that construction acumen into
the television world with TLC’s THE ADAM CAROLLA PROJECT, which saw him and old
construction buddies remodeling and flipping his childhood home, Spike TV’s TO CATCH A
CONTRACTOR where he busted shady contractors and made them fix their shoddy work, and
ADAM CAROLLA AND FRIENDS BUILD STUFF LIVE where he coached celebrity guests on
various DIY challenges.
Adam became a New York Times best-selling author when his book, IN 50 YEARS WE’LL ALL
BE CHICKS, topped the charts for ten weeks. The audio version went straight to the #1 position
on iTunes. He has since written five more books including New York Times Best Sellers NOT
TACO BELL MATERIAL and PRESIDENT ME. Adam also co-wrote, produced and starred in
two independent feature length films: THE HAMMER (2007) and ROAD HARD (2015), a
crowd-funded comedy that raised over a million dollars in a single month. Through his venture
Chassy Media he produced the inspirational documentaries WINNING: THE RACING LIFE OF
PAUL NEWMAN, UPPITY: THE WILLY T. RIBBS STORY and THE 24-HOUR WAR, which
documents the battle between Ford and Ferrari in the 1960’s for racing dominance at Le Mans.
Along with hosting his daily podcast, Adam headlines Clubs, Theaters and Casinos nationwide

first Stand Up special on Fox Nation in the Winter of 2025.

Who's Bad: The Ultimate Michael Jackson Experience
Who’s Bad was born from fandom, fueled by obsession, and built on respect.
Founded in 2003, Who’s Bad has spent over two decades honoring the music, movement, and spirit of Michael Jackson — not by imitation, but by re-creating the feeling of his legendary live performances. What began as a passion project has grown into a globally touring concert experience that has united audiences on nearly every continent through the timeless power of MJ’s music.
With more than 2,500 performances worldwide, Who’s Bad has earned its reputation the hard way — night after night on stages across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and beyond. From sold-out runs in the United Kingdom, including London’s O2 Arena, to landmark tours through China, Thailand, Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Canada, Germany, and more, the message has been universal: Michael’s music still brings people together. At home in the U.S., Who’s Bad travels relentlessly, packing theaters, clubs, festivals, and the House of Blues nationwide. Every show is a celebration — of the songs, the fans, and the energy that made Michael Jackson a once-in-a-lifetime artist.
The show’s power lies in its details. Every groove, every vocal inflection, every gravity-defying dance move is studied, respected, and performed live by a cast of world-class musicians and dancers with backgrounds ranging from Broadway to Super Bowl halftime shows. Fronted by the velvety vocals and pinpoint choreography of Taalib York, the band delivers a performance with soul, precision, and an undeniable emotional charge.
Who’s Bad has shared stages with icons including Aretha Franklin, The Backstreet Boys, The Four Tops, Boys II Men, and Pitbull. Industry leaders have taken notice — Live Nation’s Anthony Nicolaidis calls the band “the real deal,” while Michael Jackson’s longtime manager Frank DiLeo famously said after seeing the show, “Michael would have been proud.” Whether you grew up with the Jackson 5, fell in love to Human Nature, or learned to moonwalk to Billie Jean,
Who’s Bad offers more than a concert — it offers connection. As the lights go down and that unmistakable silhouette appears, audiences don’t just watch the show… they become part of it. This is not nostalgia. This is not a costume act. This is a living, breathing celebration of the King of Pop — performed with love, integrity, and the kind of energy that only comes from true believers.

Attention Humans! This is HENGE.
We are not from this world.
We bring you music from distant planets.
We offer this gift for the edification of humankind… so that eventually your species may put an end to war and set up new homes in space.
Extra-terrestrial joymongers HENGE have been delighting audiences across the UK and Europe since landing on Planet Earth over a decade ago. Their scintillating live performances earned them ‘Best Live Act’ at the Independent Festival Awards. With four acclaimed albums and their own comic book series expanding the HENGE mythos, they continue to spread their message of unity and joy wherever they touch down.
Their latest album, Journey to Voltus B, expands their intergalactic mythology with a conceptually ambitious release that features a novel twist - a double-groove vinyl pressing that offers two possible endings, depending on where the needle lands. The album has received glowing reviews, sold out headline shows across the UK and Europe, and earned radio support from BBC 6 Music tastemakers including Stuart Maconie, Deb Grant, and Craig Charles.
The music escapes definition, but occupies a space between rave and prog rock that nobody knew existed. It is energetic, subversive and invigoratingly playful, jovially going ‘where no one has gone before’. Ultimately, HENGE are spreading a message of hope which leaves audiences feeling amused and uplifted in equal measures.
