Cali Vibes is back! The three-day reggae, rock and hip-hop festival hits Long Beach’s Marina Green Park beginning Friday noon. Last week we shared Richard Guzman’s preview of the fest and his interview with 311’s Nick Hexum (which takes place on Friday at 5:20pm on The Vibes stage).

This week we have Alan Sculley’s interview with Cali Vibes performer Jack Johnson, who will be playing a special late night set on Sunday starting at 8:25pm on The Vibes stage. Read the full interview with Johnson here.

The Cali Vibes venue is quite picturesque and Richard will be there on Friday to cover the scene and I will also be there checking out 311, Collie Buddz and Ozomatli with Chali 2na & Cut Chemist from Jurassic 5. So if you’re in the area, come see us!

Here’s what else has happened since the festival pass last hit your inbox.

🎷 Massive tour announcements

Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band announced they are extending the 2023 tour to include two nights in December at the Kia Forum in Inglewood. It’s been seven years since Springsteen helped shut down the LA Sports Arena (now home of BMO Stadium) with a trio of sold-out shows, each lasting about 3.5 hours. Here’s how to get tickets for the newly announced dates at Inglewood.

BTS’ Suga will be playing the Kia Forum for three nights in May. This is a big deal, as he’s the first member of the superstar K-pop group to announce a solo performance since the band went on hiatus when other members began their mandatory military service in South Korea. Here’s how to register for tickets to the trio of shows.
