Agent Orange

Agent Orange play The Observatory North Park on Saturday, November 28, their only San Diego date that month. They're the sole bill on the marquee, so it's just them for the night.

If you're not familiar with the name, Agent Orange are pioneers of surf punk, hailing from Orange County and making their mark in the late 1970s and early 1980s. They built their sound on fast-paced instrumentals and gritty vocals, and they're best known for 'Bloodstains'. Their sets lean on the classics that defined their legacy, which has continued to influence generations of punk and alternative artists since those early days. It's a straightforward punk show, and they're the only act on the bill.

The venue is The Observatory North Park at 2891 University Ave in North Park. It's a general admission floor with an elevated balcony, so you can either be right in the thick of it or watch from up high. One practical thing to keep in mind: it's generally a cashless venue for concessions, so you'll want a card on you if you're planning on grabbing drinks or food. Doors open at 7 PM and the show starts at 8 PM, giving you plenty of time to get in and settle before they take the stage.
