2 days agoBay Area music 2026: 10 great concert acts headed our way
The Bay Area has a packed 2026 concert calendar featuring major stadium and arena shows from AC/DC, Cardi B, Ringo Starr, and numerous club gigs.
Who's ready to rock on New Year's Eve? If you're one of those with their hands raised (you can lower them now) then look no further than this guide to the Top 11 concerts happening on Dec. 31 in the Bay Area. And if rocking isn't your thing, well, that's perfectly fine, too. This guide rounds the musical bases, from sludge metal to smooth jazz with, to put it mildly, there being so much in between.
There's so much going this fall season in the Bay Area concert scene. And the best part? It's all over the place - both in terms of genres and location. How about some classic rock from Blue Oyster Cult at Plaza de Cesar Chavez in San Jose? Maybe you'd prefer to catch up the ever-amazing pop star Lorde at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley? Or how about the pairing of jazz greats Christian McBride and Brad Mehldau at the Presidio Theatre in San Francisco?
