On June 2nd, a very special festival event will take place at the San Manuel Amphitheater in San Bernardino.

Headlining will be Mumford & Sons – but this isn’t an ordinary concert. Rather, it’s a whole mini-festival that will also feature Michael Kiwanuka, Eels and Mystery Jets.

Additionally, gates open at 3 PM and the concourse will be filled with booths and other festival-like attractions. Oh, and there’s even camping available, too!

For more, visit Mumford & Sons’ website.

Tickets are available at Ticketmaster and cost $46.70-$75.20.

This week, Queens of the Stone Age will play an intimate gig at the Wiltern on Thursday, May 23rd. Currently, the show is sold out, but knowing how shows like these usually operate, there’s always a chance that more will open up closer to the show date.

Monitor the ticket page at Live Nation and check to see if tickets become available once again – they cost $74.40.

If you already have tickets or end up snagging some, enjoy – this will likely be a special show and a great opportunity to watch Josh Homme and friends play some songs from their upcoming record, …Like Clockwork.
