Inner Wave: North America Tour '26

Thursday, May 14 Inner Wave: North America Tour '26with Twin Seas $25 Adv. / $30 day of / All Ages / Doors: 6pm / Show: 7pm. Inner Wave hit the road in support of their new album See You When I Get Back, out February 27 via Nettwerk Music Group. The record marks a major step forward for the California indie-rock band, whose sound has grown sharper and more expansive through years of constant playing—from their hometown of Gardena, CA to bigger rooms and festival stages like Coachella, Outside Lands, and Desert Daze. Known for a live show that's melodic, psychedelic, and deeply personal, Inner Wave balance lush psych-pop textures with songs that feel immediate and intimate, drawing comparisons to Tame Impala, Neon Indian, and The Sea and Cake while staying unmistakably themselves.
