OC Music Weekend

On a beautiful July weekend, you’re more likely to have too many things to do, like the beach! But if you don’t, OC is hosting great concerts filled with summer jams, old-school dub and ska and local tunes.

Friday:
Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but reggae rock always seems to be the playlist of summer and Slightly Stoopid with Cypress Hill and Collie Buddz are lighting up the stage at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater tonight.  Like to jam? Like to listen to jams? If you have a need for heavy bass to start out your weekend, be sure to swing by.
Door: 6:30 p.m., $15 - $31.25. Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, 8808 Irvine Center Dr., Irvine, All ages. 7/16.

Saturday:
If you have tickets to the Irvine Mud Run tomorrow, you’re in for a treat! The legendary dub group, The Skeletones will be part of the event’s entertainment along with Meet Me At the Pub. After a morning of slipping in mud, there’s no better way to cool down (do you need to cool down after a mud run?), the dancehall grooves of one of the greatest ska bands of the last twenty years are sure to do the trick!
Entertainment: 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., free with admission. Irvine Lake. All Ages. 7/17
