The Isley Brothers & Commodores at Pacific Amphitheatre

The Isley Brothers & Commodores Fall 2025 Tour

The Pacific Amphitheatre at the OC Fairgrounds is one of the most beloved music venues in all of Southern California, and for good reason. Nestled right in the heart of Costa Mesa with a cool coastal breeze and palm trees overhead, it brings that open-air, California magic that makes every live performance feel cinematic. The amphitheatre seats just over 8,000 and has been host to some of the most legendary names in entertainment. And on Wednesday, September 11th, we’re bringing in two of the most celebrated groups in American music history: The Isley Brothers and The Commodores — for a night that’s all about soul, funk, and timeless grooves. Between these two forever iconic groups, they have over six decades of musical genius behind them, and they’re not slowing down any time soon. The Isley Brothers, known for their genre-bending evolution — from gospel to funk to sensual soul — are Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees with classics like Shout, That Lady, It’s Your Thing, and Between the Sheets. Their frontman Ronald Isley, with that velvet voice, continues to take center stage with a presence that’s just as commanding today as it was in the ‘60s. And with generations of artists sampling their work — from Ice Cube to Kendrick Lamar — you’ll feel the full weight of their legacy in every note.

And The Commodores? They’re right up there too. Coming straight out of Tuskegee, Alabama, they first lit up the scene in the ‘70s with a blend of funk and smooth ballads that had the whole world listening. Before Lionel Richie went solo, he helped pen some of the most iconic tracks of their era, like Easy, Sail On, and Three Times a Lady. But they weren’t just about the slow burns — Brick House still brings down the house every time. They’re Grammy winners, Motown legends, and some of the best to ever do it.

So when these two legendary acts share one stage right here in Costa Mesa — you already know what kind of energy that’s going to bring. This show is going to be packed with hits, soul-shaking vocals, and memories that last forever. Grab your friends, grab your tickets, and let’s get ready to groove on September 11th at Pacific Amphitheatre. We'll see you there, right here, Cali crew!
