Genre-blurring, alt-country band will headline iconic venue on March 12

CLAREMONT, CA, UNITED STATES, February 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Bridges Auditorium launches its 2026 performance season with a high-energy return of Americana roots when Trampled by Turtles takes the stage, joined by Wild Horses, on March 12.

Known for their driving tempos and tight harmonies, Trampled by Turtles has built a national following by fusing modern bluegrass with the raw power of rock and country. The Minnesota-based band has played major festivals, such as Coachella and Lollapalooza, sold out venues across the country, and earned critical acclaim for albums that balance musical precision with emotional grit. While the band often claims top spots on the bluegrass charts, their genre-blurring sound makes them a fitting artist to kick off Bridges Auditorium’s new season.

Supporting the evening is Wild Horses, the viral off-grid husband and wife duo, whose soulful tunes have earned them support slots with icons like Willie Nelson and Wilco.

“Opening our season with Trampled by Turtles sets the pace for what’s ahead at Bridges,” said Matt Pavey, Director of Programming for Bridges Auditorium. “We’re looking forward to welcoming a band that is pushing the boundaries of genre through their electric performances.”

Tickets for Trampled by Turtles are on sale now at pomona.edu/bridges.
