10 concerts coming to Fresno venues in 2026. Will you pay to see these acts?

Twenty-twenty-six is shaping up as a hectic year at Fresno’s entertainment venues.

While we’ve yet to get an announcement at the level of Shakira playing Bulldog Stadium — and yes, we are waiting — the city’s arenas, theaters and nightclubs have been filling their event calendars with noteworthy concerts and tours.

See: Round one of the Big Fresno Fair’s 2026 lineup, which was announced Wednesday (see highlights below).

Here’s a look at 10 acts we know are stopping in town this year, with dates and ticket prices.

• Duran Jones and the Indications: There was much hype on this contemporary soul singer after his last time through Fresno in 2022. It was a sold-out show people were talking about for weeks. The band returns to Tioga-Sequoia Brewery on March 19. Tickets are $41-$159 VIP plus fees.
• Flipper: A precursor (and inspiration) to grunge bands like Nirvana, Flipper is influential, if not niche, among alternative rock fans of a certain generation. The band kicks off a mostly California tour April 29 at Strummer’s. Tickets are $25-28, plus fees.
• Untouchables: Credited as America’s first ska band, the Untouchables celebrates their 45th anniversary May 2 at Fulton 55. As a bonus to the lineup here, Fresno’s own Let’s Go Bowling opens the show alongside the San Francisco band Monkey. Tickets are $25-$30 plus fees.
• Jo Koy: Comedian Jo Koy will be at the Save Mart Center on May 2 as part of his Just Being Koy tour. The Filipino comic has a history of playing in Fresno, going back as far as 2010 when he played the Saroyan Theatre. Tickets for the show are $64-$260+ with fees and on sale now.
• Pam Tillis: County music royality, Pam Tillis is the daughter of outlaw country singer Mel Tillis and had a series of hits in the 1990s. The singer stops at the Tower Theatre on May 20 at the end of a string of California dates. Tickets are $35-$45.
• The Psychedelic Furs: Best known for penning the theme to 1986’s “Pretty in Pink,” the Psychedelic Furs are still touring with founding siblings Richard and Tim Butler. The band announced a June 10 concert at Warnors Theatre with openers We are Scientists. Tickets are $40.70-$184.90 with fees.
• Groupa Frontera: Grupo Frontera is part of a movement of Regional Mexican music finding mainstream success (while already being wildly popular in the Fresno market). The band stops at the Save Mart Center on Aug. 8 on its Triste Pero Bien C*brón tour. Tickets are $56-$284+ with fees and on sale Friday.
• Thee Sacred Souls: Thee Sacred Souls are newly minted as an arena-level band, having played (and sold out) the Saroyan Theatre when they came through last year. The 1960s-inspired San Diego soul band plays the Save Mart Center on Aug. 16 on its Constellation tour with La Lom and the Womack Sisters. Tickets are $57.50-$92.
• Diplo: A first for The Big Fresno Fair, EDM comes to the Paul Paul Theater, Oct. 17 with DJ Diplo. Tickets start at $45 and are on sale March 25.
• Steve Hofstetter: This show has been on the books since last year and is still nine months out, but worth a mention. Hofstetter gained massive popularity with short clips and crowd work mostly posted to YouTube (where he’s hit 250 million views). The comedian stops at Strummer’s on Dec. 3 on a string of California dates. Tickets are $34 plus fees, or $100 plus fees for a meet-and-greet.
