Long Beach’s homegrown rockers Cold War Kids will headline the Saturday night concert on April 13 at this year’s Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.<\/p>\n

The five-piece indie rock band formed in Fullerton in 2004, but achieved most of its success after relocating to Long Beach in 2008.<\/p>\n

The band has released seven albums, including 2017’s “L.A. Divine” and numerous EP’s, notably “Live at Fingerprints,” recorded in a 2008 in-store performance at the Downtown music store. They also headlined the Long Beach Summer and Music Buskerfest<\/a> in the East Village in 2009.<\/p>\n

“The band’s hit single, “First,” reached No. 1 in 2015 on Billboard’s Alternative Rock chart.<\/p>\n

The band has had numerous personnel changes over its career. Currently, there are still two original members in the group, vocalist, pianist and guitarist Nathan Willett and bassist Mike Maust.<\/p>\n

Opening for Cold War Kids on Grand Prix Saturday will be the electronica trio Moontower.<\/p>\n

The concert is cosponsored by Acura and SMG and will begin on the Performing Arts Center plaza after the day’s racing events. The concert is free to all ticket holders.<\/p>\n
