Iration at Rialto Theatre

Iration, a reggae/pop group originally from Hawaii and based in Santa Barbara, brings their blend of reggae, dub, pop, and rock to the Rialto Theatre. Since forming in 2006, they've released multiple albums that topped the Billboard Reggae Albums chart, including No Time for Rest, Time Bomb, Automatic, and Hotting Up. Their live performances have built a loyal following through extensive touring, including opening for Pepper on their first national tour.

Attendees can expect a setlist spanning the band's career, from early EPs like New Roots to recent releases such as Coastin' (2020) and the live album Backyard Sessions: Malibu Edition (2022). The band has collaborated with artists like J Boog, Slightly Stoopid, and Stick Figure, adding depth to their sound. The intimate setting of the Rialto Theatre allows for an up-close experience with the band's polished musicianship.

The band's history includes lineup changes—vocalist Kai Rediske departed in 2013—but they've continued to evolve, releasing a self-titled album in 2018 and a dub remix EP in 2021. Their music often features guest appearances from noted reggae and rock musicians, contributing to their distinctive sound.
