Festival welcomes Third Eye Blind

Their music is unique and powerful. 

Third Eye Blind's diverse range of songs, from feel-good songs to heart-breaking ballads, will fill War Memorial Field as the Festival at Sandpoint welcomes the iconic band to the center stage for a not-to-be-missed concert Sunday, July 27, at War Memorial Field.

Since 1997, San Francisco's Third Eye Blind have recorded ten best-selling studio recordings, two live releases and assembled one career retrospective selling 12 million records worldwide. Led by Stephan Jenkins, 3EB won wide success during a tumultuous group of years when the major-label recording industry was finally losing its grip on an enterprise that for decades it had dominated with steely efficiency. Nothing could have made 3EB happier! 3EB, however, has experienced no comparable loss. Instead, they have gained artistic clarification — and, surprisingly, a fan base who is larger, younger and more dedicated than ever.

The alternative rock band's self-titled debut album, "Third Eye Blind" (1997), was certified platinum six times by the RIAA and spent over a year on the Billboard 200 charts in the US. "Semi-Charmed Life," "Jumper," and "How's It Going to Be" all reached the Top 10 of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. 

Third Eye Blind’s 2021 album "Our Bande Apart" was recorded when lockdown ended, with Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast and Ryan Olson of Poliça.

The Festival at Sandpoint’s annual summer performance series, set for July 24-Aug. 3 at War Memorial Field in Sandpoint, features a variety of genres, including pop, rock, country, folk, classical, and more.

The Third Eye Blind concert will be a standard show, meaning that the area in front of the stage is a general admission dancing and standing area. 

General admission tickets are $68.75 (before taxes and fees). General admission gates open at 6 p.m. with music starting at 7:30 p.m.
