Exciting news for Sacramento music lovers! The iconic rock band Cake is returning to their roots this March for two highly anticipated shows at Channel 24. Known for their hits like “The Distance” and “Short Skirt/Long Jacket,” Cake was once a staple in Sacramento’s music scene in the ‘90s before achieving worldwide fame. This will be their first performance in the City of Trees since 2019, and fans can expect an unforgettable experience.
The concerts are scheduled for March 21 and 22, kicking off with a presale ticket event on Thursday at 10 a.m., using the code “hookandladder.” Not only will fans get to enjoy some classic tracks and possibly new material, but the proceeds from ticket sales will benefit local radio stations KVMR and Sacramento Public Radio.
It’s not just a homecoming for Cake; it’s a chance to bring the community together for a cause. Behind singer John McCrea’s famously sardonic lyrics and retro guitar vibes, this band has shaped much of Sacramento’s sound. So, mark your calendars, because Cake has something special in store, and we can’t wait to see what they cook up on stage!
