Bakersfield Events: Concerts & Comedy
Live events, concerts, sports, theatre and unforgettable tours — handpicked, city by city.
Bakersfield's calendar leans on live music, with our listings tracking 81 concerts against 43 sporting events across 134 total.
Dignity Health Arena anchors the city's touring concerts, minor-league hockey and family shows, while The Well Comedy Club keeps a packed weekly stand-up lineup close behind. The Historic Bakersfield Fox Theater, a restored 1930s movie palace, adds a smaller concert venue downtown, and Kern County Raceway Park covers motorsports.
Long known as the birthplace of the "Bakersfield Sound" in country music, the city still supports a genuinely active live-music calendar today.
Every listing links directly to a trusted ticketing partner for live pricing and availability. Browse the calendar below and filter by category or date to plan your visit.
