The OC Super Show! Music & Beer Festival

January 19th, 2026 by Kevin Gomez           

Brew Ha Ha Productions (the team behind Punk in the Park and Lucky Punks) announced Friday that their next big event will be The OC Super Show Music & Beer Festival on March 14th at Great Park Live in Irvine.

Headlining the big festival will be Orange County ska superheroes, The Aquabats! The band played last year’s Lucky Punks for St. Patrick’s Day and just came off a slew of shows in October and November to finish off 2025.

For a festival showcasing Orange County’s best, you can’t find a better representative of the Orange County punk and ska scene over the last 30 years.

Also playing will be the pop punk/emo band Story of the Year. Last year was a hell of a year (no pun intended) for them with shows at Warped Tour and When We Were Young. They are fresh off of a national tour that ended 2025 with a pair of shows in Southern California.

Although brothers A. Jay and Jeremy Popoff have since relocated to Nashville, Lit will always be a band that I associate with Orange County, where they first had their roots. I’ve seen them a handful of times in the past few years, and they sound as incredible as ever, and will no doubt be playing all your favorite hits.

If you grew up a fan of pop punk in the late ‘90s, you were probably a fan of Fenix TX. With a sound that emulated bands like blink-182 and Home Grown, they had some radio success with “Speechless” and “Threesome.” They played a long-awaited pair of shows in Pomona and San Diego this past November.

Although originally from Illinois, Mest has called Southern California home for the past two decades. Longtime friends and collaborators with Lit, Mest has carved out their own path of pop punk catchy tunes since the mid ‘90s.

Tunnel Vision hail from San Clemente and blends together rock and reggae, bringing to mind bands like Sublime and Pepper. They recently played the Coach House and will be supporting 311 on their upcoming The Road to 311 Day 2026 tour.

The band 84 Days has only played three shows and there is so much buzz about them already. Fronted by Pennywise bassist Randy Bradbury on lead vocals and guitar, their shows opening for The Vandals last month sounded really tight. Erik “Smelly” Sandin of NOFX filled in on drums last year, but no word yet if he will also be supporting them at this festival.

Rounding out the lineup (for now) is Riverside’s Sailor’s Songbook. What I would describe as pop punk that wears its heart on its sleeve, the band has frequently toured with longtime friends The Aquabats and Voodoo Glow Skulls.

The flyer for the festival lists “and more,” which suggests that more bands will be revealed as the show gets closer. In the meantime, general admission and VIP tickets are available now with tiered pricing. The show is all ages with food vendors and trucks, and for guests 21 and over, they can elect to purchase the Craft Beer Tasting Package.
