John Doe (of X) live at The Rose Bowl Tavern - Farm Aid 40th Anniversary!

Thursday, October 23rd. Doors @ 7:30 || Show at 8pm

Join us for a special evening with John Doe, founding member of the iconic punk band X, as he takes the stage for an intimate solo performance at The Rose Bowl Tavern in Urbana, IL. 🌟

In collaboration with The Spurlock Museum at the University of Illinois, this concert celebrates the 40th anniversary of the original Farm Aid, which X performed at in Champaign back in 1985.

🎶 John Doe’s influence reaches far beyond the groundbreaking work of X. Named one of Rolling Stone’s “Greatest Artists of All Time,” X helped define the Los Angeles punk scene of the late ’70s and early ’80s with their fiery sound and poetic songwriting. As a solo artist, John Doe has released acclaimed records blending punk roots with Americana and folk, earning praise as a songwriter, actor, and cultural voice.

This is a rare chance to experience his music up close in an intimate setting, reflecting on four decades of art, activism, and musical legacy.

Don’t miss this historic night of music and memory with one of America’s most enduring artists.
