The Oakland show will take place at the expansive Oakland Coliseum grounds, promising an unforgettable evening under the stars for fans of the iconic group.
Midnight Oil, renowned for their powerful music and environmental activism, will bring their unique blend of rock, passion, and socially conscious messaging to the Bay Area.
