Is This Concert Taking Place on an Airport
The World Famous 737 Plane Stage at San Bernardino International Airport transforms the expected into a re-imagined world of aviation possibilities – where art and culture meet with the surf rock reggae vibes of Fortunate Youth and Safety Orange on the tarmac. This epic celebration of community, travel, and milestones takes place on October 18th aboard the one-of-a-kind World Famous 737 Stage Plane. Think runway lights twinkling in the distance, planes lined up behind the band, and a crowd moving together to good vibes.
The concert also marks a significant milestone: three years since Breeze Airways launched passenger service from SBD. For travelers, residents, and music fans, it’s a chance to celebrate the airport that has redefined convenience for the Inland Empire with easy access, affordable flights, and seriously low $5 parking.
Who's Performing
From backyard BBQs in Southern California beach towns to becoming one of the country’s most popular reggae rock bands, Fortunate Youth has always stayed true to its mission of spreading peace, love, and unity through music. The sextet from Hermosa Beach draws from reggae, blues, ska, rock, world, soul, and punk to create a sound that’s as diverse as their fans.
Known for their relentless touring, Fortunate Youth has shared the stage with reggae heavyweights like Slightly Stoopid, Stick Figure, and SOJA, which has helped them continue building a reputation as a live act that brings the crowd together with infectious grooves and sing-along anthems. Their performances are communal celebrations where good vibes flow as freely as the music.
Dedicated to the road and their fans, the band continues to evolve with every show and jam session. Expect an uplifting, high-energy set that keeps the audience swaying from the first note to the last.
From sunny San Diego, Safety Orange has been delivering beach-rock reggae since 1995. What began as a jam session between surfing buddies Harry Elmore and Sol Turpin has grown into a band with a unique sound that blends reggae, rock, punk, ska, and even Latin influences.
Over the years, Safety Orange has recorded four albums and traveled the country, sharing their laid-back, energetic sound with fans everywhere. Their style is sun-soaked and soulful, heavy on reggae downbeats, and infused with the spirit of Southern California surf culture.
On stage, Safety Orange radiates positivity and fun, channeling decades of experience into performances that keep audiences moving and smiling. They’re the perfect complement to Fortunate Youth, bringing surf-rock reggae flavor and a touch of edge to the night’s lineup.
Rounding out the evening is DJ Richie Rich, a performer who turns the art of DJing into a full-blown immersive experience. Not only does he scratch, remix, and rewind tracks live, but he also manipulates music videos in real time, transforming them into visual performances that groove right along with the sound.
DJ Richie Rich blends nostalgia and innovation, taking familiar songs and updating them. He describes his style simply:
“I make feel-good music. I believe that good music can come from any genre and any decade. I blend those songs together in a way that takes you back and simultaneously makes you feel them in a fresh, new way. Most importantly, I make you dance and have fun.”
His sets aren’t just something you hear; they’re something you need to see to believe. The videos sync perfectly with the beats to create a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. Expect an audio-visual journey that bridges generations, genres, and pure energy.
