Set to Invade Observatory Santa Ana
September 11th, 2026 by Traci Turner
English punk rockers the Buzzcocks will invade Santa Ana in November and tickets are on sale now. The band previously announced US dates, but the SoCal date is brand new.
The night before their November 14th Darker Waves appearance, Buzzcocks will play The Observatory and bring Modern English and Grade 2 as support.
Founded in 1976, Buzzcocks had their greatest success with “What Do I Get?,” “Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve),” “Love You More,” and of course, “Orgasm Addict.”
Sadly, original frontman Pete Shelley passed in 2018, but Steve Diggle has taken over vocals as well as continuing guitar, and is joined by Danny Farrant on drums, and Chris Remington on bass.
The gents released the album “Attitude Adjustment” at the beginning of 2026 and are ready to share it with us on this side of the globe.
Grab tickets to see the guys Friday in Santa Ana, then get a full day of Buzzcocks, Smashing Pumpkins, Morrissey (maybe), Soft Cell, Simple Minds, Adam Ant, The Damned, and more at Darker Waves on November 14th.
