Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM THE BIG MACHINE US TOUR Lucius Arthur Hailing originally from San Diego but shaped by a unique transatlantic upbringing, Lucius Arthur has emerged as a dynamic force in the music scene, seamlessly blending the raw energy of punk and the nostalgia of Brit pop with experimental electronic production. Currently based in Brooklyn, NY, Lucius’s journey began growing up between San Diego and Suffolk, England. They found their musical home in the local punk and hardcore scene, where the all-ages venue SOMA served as their stomping ground. They cut their teeth as a drummer in numerous punk bands before stepping into the spotlight as a frontman, discovering the unparalleled thrill of high-energy rock performances and the sense of community that arises from a crowd collectively shouting lyrics at the top of their lungs. While the punk scene served as a formative backdrop, Lucius’s musical influences stemmed primarily from U.K music, encompassing alternative rock, Britpop, electronic garage, and indie rock.

Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM Time Heals Everything Tour Blu & Exile In 2007, while headlines were dominated by Kanye West vs. 50 Cent and the industry fixated on first-week sales, two artists on the West Coast were quietly crafting something timeless. Blu and Exile weren’t chasing the spotlight — they were building their own gravitational pull. On July 17, 2007, they released Below the Heavens — a debut that felt more like a sacred document than a first statement. Soul-soaked, sample-driven production. Raw, unfiltered vulnerability. No gloss. No gimmicks. Just truth pressed into wax. Early believers recognized it immediately. Underground purists and tastemakers hailed it as an instant classic. Limited to just 3,000 physical copies and leaked prematurely online, its scarcity only strengthened its mythology. If you had it, you understood. If you didn’t, you were already behind. Blu’s everyman reflections — grappling with faith, doubt, love, frustration, and ambition resonated deeply over Exile’s warm, golden-era-inspired soundscapes. Static in the samples. Dust in the drums. Pain and poetry in every bar. For the Okayplayer generation and beyond, it became a defining statement of West Coast underground hip-hop. The chemistry was organic. Introduced through Aloe Blacc of Emanon, Exile first witnessed Blu command a Los Angeles stage — hungry, electric, undeniable. One session became “Party of Two.” Then “Maintain.” Then a vision. A full-length statement. They knew it was special. By 2009, Blu’s momentum earned him a place in the XXL Freshman Class alongside Wale, Kid Cudi, B.o.B, and Charles Hamilton — proof that the underground could crown its own stars. But they never stopped building. The Albums That Followed After Below the Heavens, Blu & Exile continued to evolve together across four full-length releases, each expanding their sonic universe while preserving their unmistakable chemistry. Meanwhile, Blu expanded his catalog with one-producer masterpieces alongside Madlib, Evidence, and Nottz, while collaborating with artists such as Anderson .Paak, Talib Kweli, Your Old Droog, and Rome Streetz. Exile solidified his reputation as a producer’s producer with the modern classic Boy Meets World for Fashawn, experimental projects like Exile Radio, and production credits for Mobb Deep, 50 Cent. Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, and Snoop Dogg. Now, with nearly two decades of growth, experimentation, and refinement behind them, Blu & Exile return not as hungry newcomers — but as master craftsmen of their own lane. Their latest offering doesn’t feel like just another release; it feels like culmination. For longtime listeners, it’s a reunion charged with nostalgia and elevation. For new fans, it’s an invitation into a world where lyricism and soul still reign supreme. The foundation is solid. The chemistry is proven. And history has shown: when Blu and Exile connect, something timeless follows. Album Announcement on the way.

Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM FELICITY Orlando’s FELICITY are redefining what pop punk and emo can sound like in 2026: stadium sized hooks built for chaos, catharsis, and community. Breakout singles “The Weather” and “GOD MODE” have pushed the band into a new lane. Anchored by a sound that bridges the anthemic power of Foo Fighters with the irreverent edge of Sum 41, FELICITY have built traction both online and on stage. Their viral content consistently reaches millions and they have shared the stage supporting legends like Fall Out Boy, The Used, and Story of the Year, along with festival appearances at Warped Cruise, So What?! Music Fest, and more. With their new album Mixtape, Vol. 2 (Out June 16th 2026) produced by Andrew Wade (A Day To Remember, Neck Deep), FELICITY is doubling down on their biggest strength: creating songs that hit like a mosh pit but stick like an arena chorus. They are a band in motion, actively building one of the most engaged fanbases in the alternative rock resurgence and positioning themselves as one of the next breakout live acts from North America.
