Reel Big Fish: Turn The Radio Off 30th at The Wiltern

Reel Big Fish are bringing a 30th anniversary show for their album Turn The Radio Off to The Wiltern on Thursday, December 3, 2026, presented by KROQ. If you keep a running list of LA concerts for the holiday season, a night of horn-driven ska punk from a band that has been touring for decades belongs on it.

When: Thursday, December 3, 2026, 7:00 PM (listed start) Where: The Wiltern, 3790 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90010 Tickets: Ticketmaster

What to expect

Turn The Radio Off came out in 1996, and it is the record that made Reel Big Fish a fixture of the third-wave ska scene. The band is known for fast tempos, a full horn section and a stage show that leans toward goofy and loud rather than serious. An anniversary billing suggests the album will be the focus of the night, though the listing does not publish a setlist, so treat any song-by-song plans as a guess until the band says otherwise.

KROQ's name on the bill is a reminder of how much of this music first reached Southern California through the radio. For fans who grew up on that rotation, the show doubles as a reunion with the soundtrack of the late nineties.

The listing does not name support acts, so check the Ticketmaster page for any announcements closer to the date. The page also lists the current ticket prices, which we have not copied here because they change.

The venue

The Wiltern is an Art Deco theater at Wilshire and Western in Koreatown, and it is one of the better rooms in town for a band with this much energy. The standing floor and balcony give you a choice between getting into the crowd and watching from a distance. It is a good fit if you like live music Los Angeles venues that feel like an occasion rather than a club.

Getting there

The Wiltern sits right above the Wilshire/Western Metro D Line station, so riding the train is the easiest way to avoid parking on a show night. If you drive, nearby lots and street spaces fill up early on concert evenings, and street signs on Wilshire and Western often restrict parking, so read them carefully. Plan to arrive well before the listed 7:00 PM start, since the listing is the only timing the source gives and door and set times can shift.
