June 19: Wild Child

July 17: Pine Mountain Logs and Venice

Aug. 14: The Mother Hips

Sept. 18: 10,000 Maniacs

General admission tickets, which sell for $38 pre-purchase, are standing-room only and include access to the aquarium’s exhibits after 5:30 p.m. VIP tickets including open seating on the upstairs VIP deck.

Parking is free at the aquarium lot or overfill lot off of Downwind Way.
