A California-born accordion virtuoso steeped in the French Kreole tradition of his Louisiana-rooted family. Called “a standard-bearer for the new generation” of Zydeco — a master of fast, funky rhythms. Perfect season-opener energy.

A Bay Area band deeply committed to the Grateful Dead’s living repertoire. This is not a cover band; it’s a jam experience. Deadheads and curious newcomers both welcome.

Electric, high-energy and built to move a crowd. Neon Velvet brings the pure joy of a great dance party to the outdoor stage — crowd-pleasing pop and rock hits with polish and fun. Great night to bring everyone.

A bona fide blues legend. San Jose native Tommy Castro has won 10 Blues Music Awards including four B.B. King Entertainer of the Year honors. This is a real concert headliner in a free setting. Don’t miss it.

A groove-focused powerhouse — the perfect pre-4th-of-July night out. If Earth Wind & Fire, Parliament Funkadelic, and Stevie Wonder ever had a party in a plaza, this is what it would sound like.

Thirty-plus years in, Super Diamond remains one of the most remarkable tribute acts anywhere. They’ve appeared on Letterman, Rolling Stone, the New York Times. The real Neil Diamond has joined them onstage twice. “Sweet Caroline” sing-alongs guaranteed.

Four exceptionally skilled San Francisco musicians who approach Zeppelin’s catalog as devotion, not impersonation. Their “When the Levee Breaks” video has 15 million views. Steve Vai has performed with them. This is the real deal.
Two California punk-pop catalogues in one night — the soundtrack of an entire generation. Whether you wore out Dookie or Enema of the State, this one will land hard. Bring the teens.

Modern country hits mixed with classic crossover anthems. Big summer energy, boots optional. Great date night show under the stars at Todos Santos.

The Eras Tour came to stadiums. This one comes to your farmers market. Expect the full sweep of Taylor’s catalog delivered with genuine love for the music.

A mid-summer Latin Jazz night at Todos Santos — warm air, good food, and the groove of congas, horns, and Latin rhythm.
Three of the greatest voices in American music on one stage. Tina’s ferocity. Diana’s elegance. Aretha’s transcendence. The showstopper of the summer — a night that will get the whole plaza on its feet.

Two of the most musically sophisticated bands of the rock era combined into one set. Tight arrangements, real horn lines, and the kind of playing that made these records timeless.

The Doors were a singular force — hypnotic, dark, and unmistakably Los Angeles. Strange Daze channels that psychedelic garage rock energy for a September night. Break on through.

A special tribute to the legendary Concord Jazz Festival — held right here at Todos Santos from 1969 to 2013. Steve Snyder’s Big Band honors that legacy with a night of rich big band jazz in the plaza where it all happened.

A ten-piece Bay Area powerhouse with former members of Santana, Malo, and the Jorge Santana band. Black Magic Woman, Evil Ways, Oye Como Va, Smooth, Europa and more. One of the best Santana tributes in the U.S.

The season closer. House of Floyd ends the summer with the music that defined the phrase “live experience.” The Wall. Dark Side of the Moon. Wish You Were Here. A proper send-off for an incredible season.
Todos Santos Plaza is in the heart of downtown Concord, easily accessible by BART (Concord Station is a short walk). The plaza fills up — arriving by 5:30 PM puts you in good shape for a great spot.
