(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) – Dirty Heads will bring their infectious energy and feel-good rhythms to the California State Fair on Wednesday, July 16 as part of the Toyota Concert Series. Don’t miss your chance to catch one of the hottest live acts in alternative music under the stars!
Since 2001, Dirty Heads have blended hip-hop, reggae, and rock to create a sound that embodies their Southern California roots and resonates worldwide. With over 3.2 billion global streams, 1.34 million digital track sales, and more than 2.8 million monthly Spotify listeners, the band continues to dominate the alternative scene.
Their viral hit “Vacation” exploded on TikTok’s #VacationTransition trend, earning a platinum RIAA plaque and more than 6 billion views and streams across platforms.

Following a series of acclaimed albums, including Sound of Change and their self-titled Dirty Heads, the band released their 7th studio album Midnight Control in 2022, followed by a deluxe version in 2023. That same year, they performed “Rescue Me” and “Life’s Been Good” on The Today Show and wrapped a national co-headlining tour with Slightly Stoopid.
