One805LIVE!, a benefit concert supporting Santa Barbara County First Responders, has announced its 2026 lineup. In addition to previously confirmed performers Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo and George Thorogood, the event will feature a headlining set from actor Kevin Costner and his band Modern West. The two-day concert will take place on September 25-26 at Costner's oceanside estate in Summerland.

Why it matters

One805 was founded in the wake of the 2018 Montecito debris flow to provide vital equipment and mental health support for local first responders. The expanded two-day format allows the organization to welcome more members of the First Responder community while generating greater proceeds for their initiatives.

The details

All artists donate their time and performances in support of Santa Barbara County First Responders. Costner's involvement goes beyond just headlining, as he opens his home to host the event each year. Modern West, Costner's Americana and country-rock outfit, has nearly two decades of touring and recording experience. Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo bring over 36 million records sold and four consecutive Grammy Awards, while blues-rock legend George Thorogood adds 50-plus years of high-energy performance.
