2025 Summer Concert Series Bands

This year, the Altadena Rotary’s Summer Concert Series is moving to Lower Loma Alta Park on the west side of Altadena. While the venue has changed, the music and community spirit remain as strong as ever! We’re incredibly grateful to Supervisor Kathryn Barger and the Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation for their support in making it possible to keep the series going as Altadena recovers from the Eaton Fire.

This year’s series features a lineup of amazing bands you won’t want to miss.

The Walking Phoenixes

When the Walking Phoenixes take the stage in their signature “all black” three-piece suits, you know immediately that they have what it takes to be a tribute to the “Man In Black.” It is more than just a band or a likeness of Johnny Cash - it’s an experience not to be missed.
