Phantom Planet Live in Los Angeles

After a long hiatus that ended in 2019, Phantom Planet is back on stage. The Los Angeles rock band, best known for their 2002 hit "California" (the theme song for *The O.C.*), will perform in their hometown on September 20, 2026. The setlist spans their career, from early pop-rock anthems to the garage rock sound of their later albums.

The band—featuring Alex Greenwald, Darren Robinson, Sam Farrar, and Andrew Parker—has a storied history. Formed at a Pizza Hut in 1994, they gained fame after their song "California" became a TV staple. Their 2008 hiatus lasted over a decade before a permanent reunion. Now they bring that legacy to a live show in Los Angeles.

For attendees, this concert offers an evening of nostalgic rock music in the city where the band got its start. It is a rare opportunity to see an influential act that helped define early 2000s indie rock.
