Many San Luis Obispo High School students flock to any local concert, attracted to the unforgettable experience of live music. Luckily, there are many upcoming concert opportunities in town that students should definitely check out.
“Live music is one of my favorite things ever. You can’t beat finally hearing your favorite song live. And it’s so much better when those concerts are literally in SLO, so I don’t have to travel far,” said senior Sofia Sison.
Get your credit cards out and get ready to mark your calendars for these upcoming events!
On April 30, beloved reggae band Steel Pulse will be performing at the Fremont Theater. Get tickets here.
Many students will also likely be at Shabang Music Festival at Dairy Creek Golf Course on May 2 to see artists such as Jungle, Wallows, Briston Maroney, and more! This is definitely a lineup you don’t want to miss, so get your tickets here.
“I went to both days of Shabang last year and had such a great time. I’m very excited to see Jungle on the first day, but we have Prom on the second day, so I can’t go to that,” said senior Sofia Waggoner.
May 22 will be a busy day for students choosing between house music or country music. If you’re more of a house music fan, be sure to get tickets for SidePiece at Alex Madonna Expo Center here. Or, if country is more of your vibe, check out Ty Myers at BarrelHouse Brewing Company. This show is sold out, but resale tickets are available on sites such as Vivid Seats and StubHub.
On June 10, Wiz Khalifa will be performing at the Fremont Theater. If you’re a fan, buy those tickets here.
Finally, the long-awaited Mid-State Fair features a stellar lineup of concerts for mid-late July this summer. Flo Rida will perform on July 16, Jon Pardi on July 17, 311 on July 18, Keith Urban on July 24, and many more that are still TBA. Get those tickets here.
“I’m very excited for the Mid-State Fair. It’s so hard to pick between all the concerts, I would love to just see them all,” said junior Zoe Fuji.
If you love live music, the next few months will be a great time for you, with very little travel time!
