Rock band from San Francisco joins star-studded California State Fair concert lineup
Third Eye Blind will be taking the stage at the California State Fair as a part of the Toyota Concert Series, organizers announced Wednesday.
The fair runs from July 14 to July 30 at Cal Expo in Sacramento, and each night is headlined with a star-studded roster.
The rock band joins artists Fitz and the Tantrums, Ashanti, the Isley Brothers and LeAnn Rimes. Third Eye Blind will play at 8 p.m. Sunday, July 23.
Third Eye Blind formed in San Francisco and released its debut eponymous record in 1997, featuring hit songs “Semi-Charmed Life,” “Jumper” and “How’s It Going to Be.” Its newest release was in 2022 with “Unplugged,” an acoustic version of the debut tracks, and in 2021 with the album “Our Bande Apart.”
