Rebelution started out as a local band from Santa Barbara, but they have climbed their way to the top. 

The group performed at the House of Blues with Zion and SOJA as their opening acts Saturday.

To put it simply, the concert was amazing. The House of Blues was the best possible venue for the event.

The black lights on the ceiling really set the reggae vibe, and the hardcore reggae lovers were swaying to the rhythm, allowing fans in the mosh pit to get into the music. The moment the curtains opened, the crowd went wild. The House of Blues was flooded from wall to wall with fans of all ages, ranging from high-schoolers to adults in their 30s.

One of the best things about Rebelution is that you can tell how much the band members truly love their fans and the music. And the fans love Rebelution. It didn’t matter whether you went with a large group of people or a small group of friends.

Everyone in the audience blended together singing, swaying, and holding their arms up high.

For the duration of the concert, all the fans became one body of people.

The most magical part of the concert, however, was the finale.

When Rebelution finished their final song, they walked off stage and immediately fans started chanting for an encore. What they got was more than an encore. Rebelution went back on stage and performed an acoustic version of one of their top hits, “Safe and Sound.” But that wasn’t all.

Zion and SOJA surprised the audience, joining Rebelution after the song for one final ‘hoorah.’

The three groups performed one final song together, a song that was a mix of all their music. Zion performed a freestyle rap about Dallas, reggae, California and so on that mixed perfectly with SOJA’s and Rebelution’s music.

The night was truly a rewarding experience, and it is clear that Rebelution will continue to dazzle their fans for years to come.
