JOHN GARCIA

First time at BA

Country: United States
Genre: STONER ROCK

When you think of the California desert and stoner rock, there is one voice that defined an era and carved out the identity of an entire genre. John Garcia. The former frontman of the legendary Kyuss, as well as the driving force behind projects like Unida, Slo Burn, Hermano, and Vista Chino, has never been interested in merely riding the wave of nostalgia.

While his roots are firmly embedded in the sun-baked sand of the Coachella Valley, Garcia consistently refuses to stay trapped in the past. His solo work pushes that legacy forward—raw, personal, and unmistakably his own. It’s that signature, gravel-laced vocal delivery you can spot in a single heartbeat, but grounded in fresh, stripped-down arrangements. Now, a brand-new chapter is taking shape. Armed with new songs and a new record on the horizon, he comes to prove that desert rock isn't a museum piece, but a living, evolving force.

Expect a set in Josefov that bridges the foundational roots of heavy rock with Garcia’s relentless drive forward. Get ready for weight-bearing riffs, earthy grooves, and one of the most distinctive voices in underground guitar music.
