The Greek Theatre at UC Berkeley has unveiled its 2026 summer concert season, bringing another packed lineup of legendary artists, indie favorites, rock bands, electronic acts, and soul icons to one of California’s most celebrated outdoor music venues.
Operating continuously since 1903, the historic 8,500-capacity amphitheater remains the longest-running outdoor amphitheater in the United States. Promoted exclusively by Another Planet Entertainment since 2004, the Berkeley venue continues its tradition of hosting major touring artists in an intimate hillside setting overlooking the San Francisco Bay.
The 2026 season includes performances from Jack Johnson, David Byrne, Jungle, Jon Batiste, Erykah Badu, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Tori Amos, Foster the People, Bleachers, Liz Phair and Sleater-Kinney, Johnny Blue Skies & the Dark Clouds, Vulfpeck, Role Model, HUGEL, Bob Moses & Cannons, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Young the Giant, The Fray, and two nights of Dark Star Orchestra.
Several performances have already sold out, including Thee Sacred Souls, Johnny Blue Skies & the Dark Clouds, both Jack Johnson dates, Jon Batiste, and the first of Jungle’s two Berkeley performances.
Fans attending concerts this year will also benefit from several recent venue improvements. The Greek Theatre has expanded and regraded its lawn seating for improved sightlines, added enhanced viewing decks and bars on both terrace levels, expanded concession offerings, upgraded more than 80 restrooms, and improved the North Plaza area with additional amenities and artist merchandise.
