Legends: Live & Local with Lol Tolhurst and David J
An Intimate Night with Lol Tolhurst & David J
Legends: Live & Local is a new live music and storytelling series from Event Santa Cruz that connects iconic, world-famous musicians with local artists—creating once-in-a-lifetime collaborations, conversations, and performances.
Our first official Legends: Live & Local event brings together two true pioneers of post-punk, Goth, and alternative music:
Lol Tolhurst (The Cure)
David J (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets)
They helped shape the sound, style, and spirit of alternative music that continues to influence generations.
Local musicians: Trestles and Swan Porter
Huge thank you to our partners for making this series happen: City of Santa Cruz Economic Development Department, Studio Holladay, Lookout Santa Cruz, Capitola Mall, Bay Federal Credit Union, Hotel Paradox, and Schooner Realty.
