About this event

The Expendables have been throwing the rulebook out the window for nearly 25 years -- and they are still doing it. The Santa Cruz quartet blends ska, surf-rock, punk, reggae, and metal into a live experience that defies any single label but satisfies all of them. With their 2017 Moment EP debuting at #1 on the Billboard Reggae chart, they have proven they can top the charts while staying true to their gloriously genre-defying roots.

A late September night in Destin is the perfect setting for The Expendables' high-energy, laid-back-but-loud approach to music. Beach towns love bands that bridge the gap between chill and chaotic -- and these guys live there permanently. Whether you are into the surf-rock grooves, the ska rhythms, the reggae bounce, or the punk edge, there is something in every Expendables set for every kind of music lover on vacation.

Doors open at 6:30 PM, show at 7:30 PM at Club LA. Tickets are $33-$47 and available through TicketWeb. The venue holds 600 people and is open to ages 16 and up.

Best for: Fans of ska, reggae, surf-rock, and punk who want a high-energy fall show on the Gulf

What to expect: A high-energy genre-blending set spanning 25 years of ska, reggae, and punk with a devoted crowd

Planning tip: September and October in Destin are spectacular -- combine this show with a sunset harbor dinner for the perfect fall evening

Cost: Tickets $33-$47. Ages 16+
