Don't Miss Night 2 of the Summer Concert Series Featuring Alien Ant Farm & The High Curbs

We're kicking the energy up a notch on Night 2 of the Big Bear Lake Summer Concert Series! Punk Rock Night kicks off at 5:30 PM with high octane freestyle motocross demonstrations from Nitro Circus, followed by performances from SoCal's own Alien Ant Farm and The High Curbs, as well as thrilling tricks performed by professional skateboarders from OC Ramps! This event is free to the public, and all ages are welcome. We'll have family-friendly games and e-bikes to keep the kiddos entertained, and picnic tables so you can enjoy delicious food and drinks from the Beer Garden, food trucks, and local restaurants while you watch the show! Feel free to bring your own chairs and blankets.

About the Bands
Alien Ant Farm formed in Riverside in 1996. The band's unique sound employs a freewheeling blend of Nu-Metal, Post-Grunge, and Punk-Pop that landed them mainstream success when their quirky, souped-up rendition of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" topped the Billboard Alternative Songs charts in 2001. The band continued to maintain a steady radio presence throughout the aughts with hits like "Movies" and "Glow". The band returned from a studio hiatus in 2015 with the release of their fifth album, Always And Forever, followed by Mantras in 2024. In March 2026, the band released the single "Reasons".

The High Curbs formed in the Inland Empire in 2013 and has become a staple in the Southern California Punk Rock scene. One of their most popular tracks, "Want", gained attention through its feature on Thrasher's King of the Road.⁠ Released in early 2026, the band's sixth album High Speed quickly delivered new fan favorites "Promise", "Racer 23" and "Til the End".
