Herman’s Hermits, The Grass Roots & The Buckinghams at Pacific Amphitheatre

A Salute to The 60s

A Salute To the 60s

The sixties were a revolutionary period in music where youth-centric bands in the pop-rock space caused a wave of pop culture evolution. It was homogenously labelled as the British Invasion, yet a spectrum of such movement called the "sunny side" of pop-rock became the soundtrack of romance, fun, and the age of innocence, played over mainstream Top 40 radio, school dances, summer camps, and road trips. Three of the major key players were Herman's Hermits, The Grass Roots & The Buckinghams. Fast-forward to 2025... These bands will take you back to memory lane as they share the stage of the Pacific Amphitheatre on Wednesday, 23rd July 2025, in a joint concert tour dubbed "A Salute To The 60s".
