Growing up in Colorado, there’s this stereotype that everyone knows how to ski or snowboard. Now living in California, people assume we all love to surf. True or false?

Whether you’ve been surfing since you were little, or just want to dance on the beach, then this next giveaway’s for you…

The Challenger Series returns to Huntington Beach 7/25-8/2 for the 2026 Lexus US Open of Surfing presented by Pacifico. The nine-day surfing festival will feature three exciting evenings of music with G. Love, Real Estate, Allah-Las, Local Natives, and more! We’re giving away tickets for each night!*

WHO-LA: OUR LADY PEACE

Few alt rock bands have soundtracked the last three decades quite like Our Lady Peace. Since breaking out in the mid-'90s, the Canadian rock icons have amassed hit after hit, shared stages with everyone from The Rolling Stones to Foo Fighters, and built a fanbase that now spans generations.

As the band prepares to bring their 30th Anniversary Tour to The Belasco next Tuesday, 6/16 (psst - we’re giving away tickets!), we spoke with frontman Raine Maida about LA's role in the band's evolution, the songs that still resonate most, and why gratitude feels more important than ever after three decades of making music.
