The Beach Boys with Joan Jett & The Blackhearts at St. Patrick's County Park

Legendary California rock band and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members THE BEACH BOYS return to South Bend with very special guest JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS for a great summer evening under the stars at St. Patrick’s County Park.

Led by Mike Love and Bruce Johnston, THE BEACH BOYS have embodied the spirit of California to a worldwide audience and the band continues to ride the crest of a wave unequalled in America’s musical history. Since lead-singer Mike Love penned the lyrics to The Beach Boys’ first hit, “Surfin’” in 1961, the band has had a string of chart-topping songs that includes eternal anthems of American youth: “Surfin’ USA,” “Surfer Girl,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” “I Get Around,” “California Girls,” “Help Me Rhonda,” “Barbara Ann,” “Good Vibrations,” “Wouldn’t It Be Nice,” “Sloop John B,” “Little Deuce Coupe,” and “Rock and Roll Music.” In 1988 The Beach Boys released their biggest selling multi-platinum hit “Kokomo” which was nominated for a Grammy award.

JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS will be making their first South Bend appearance in over 15 years. JOAN JETT made a national name for herself as a member of the all-girl band The Runaways. JOAN is an accomplished singer/songwriter/guitarist with eight platinum and gold albums and nine Top 40 singles including “Bad Reputation,” “ I Hate Myself For Loving You,” “Do You Want To Touch Me,” and “Crimson and Clover” and her biggest hit, “I Love Rock 'N' Roll,” has been used in movies, tv shows and commercialsJOAN was listed as one of only two women on Rolling Stone Magazine's 100 greatest guitar players of all time!

The concert will feature a vintage car display near the main entrance to the Robert J. Fischgrund Center for the Performing Arts, including classic Studebaker and Avanti vehicles which were manufactured in South Bend until 1963 and which will be provided by South Bend’s Studebaker Museum. Festive summer foods will be offered for sale, and a fireworks display will follow the concert.
