Head to the Quarry Amphitheater to see the chewed bubble gum pop band, Peach Pit! They are widely recognized for blending “sad pop” lyrics with upbeat, surf-rock-inspired melodies. Expect a setlist heavily featuring tracks from their Beatles inspired 2024 album Magpie, as well as fan favorites like “Alrighty Aphrodite” and “Shampoo Bottles”.
The Quarry Amphitheater was carved from a former limestone quarry in the 1960’s. The unique terraced asymmetrical design allows for amazing sightlines as you jam out with towering redwoods all around you. You won’t want to miss seeing Peach Pit at this venue!
Locals Love: The unique venue.
First Timers Miss: Bringing a blanket or towel to keep comfortable in a redwood micro-climate.
Insights: The Quarry Amphitheater is inside UCSC, so parking fees and lot usage are unpredictable. There are public e-bike stations on campus and throughout Santa Cruz and Capitola. Watch to see if a rally bus is available for the event.
