Are you mourning the loss of the Warped Tour? Missing those summer days in crowded stadiums sweating with the other punk(ish) loving unwashed mashes? While Warped Tour is no more, you still have the chance to see the same kind of artists at a similar event, 91X Wrex the Halls.

It’s a one-night-only concert (unlike Warped) that features punk artists or those on the cuff of pop/rock and punk. In 2018, they had the rising global star Billie Eilish take the stage. She wasn’t the headliner, but maybe now that she’s legal (and hinting at new music), she will be. Other acts have included Bishop Briggs, Beck, Third Eye Blind, Death Cab for Cutie, and Glass Animals. There are too many to list, but they’re all band you want to see!

Who Puts it On?

The concert is put on by the San Diego Radio Station 91X, who pride themselves on playing alternative music. At any given moment, you’ll hear the station playing Gorillaz, Neal Peart, Muse, Pearl Jam, Cure, and Cage the Elephant – to name more than a few. In fact, you can find out what they’ve played recently on their website by going to the side menu and hitting “song history.” Since they haven’t announced the artists for this year’s concert yet, maybe that will give you a hint of what to expect! Can’t hurt to try, right?

Concert Details

The concert is held in the San Diego area, though the actual venue changes almost every year. Ticket prices are higher than they are for a normal concert, but you’re getting five (if not more) shows in one! And since it only happens once a year – that gives you the chance to save up! If you start your fund now, you could be in the VIP section when the concert date rolls around.
