A major soul-music celebration will arrive in Orange County next spring with the Old School Love, set for Saturday, March 21, 2026, at Santa Ana Stadium in Santa Ana.
The single-day event will spotlight full-set performances from classic and contemporary soul acts, including Durand Jones & The Indications, Thee Sacred Souls, La Lom, The Sinseers, The Altons, Trish Toledo, The Delfonics, The Stylists, The Persuaders, Isley Brothers, The Dramatics, The Intruders, Bloodstone, Malo, Womack Sisters, Tierra, and more.
The event poster describes the gathering as “Old School Love: One Stage! Full sets – Plus the Greatest Hits,” promising a focus on live instrumentation and deep catalogs rather than single-song performances. Although full ticketing details are not yet public, early presale registration has begun at oldschoolloveshow.com.
With several acts rooted in Southern California – notably La Lom, Thee Sacred Souls and Trish Toledo – the festival taps the region’s local soul legacy while bringing in national and legacy names. Durand Jones & The Indications, for example, have built a solid following for energetic live shows and revival-era soul sound. The poster’s inclusion of The Isley Brothers further underscores the event’s aim to bridge generations of R&B and soul.
Santa Ana Stadium offers a mid-sized venue suitable for this focused genre festival, and organizers say the one-stage format will keep the action continuous and avoid lengthy waits between sets. Fans are encouraged to visit the event website for updates on ticket tiers, guest arrival times, venue rules and VIP offerings.
As soul, R&B and funk festivals make a comeback in Southern California, the Old School Love Show presents an opportunity for longtime fans and newer audiences alike to engage with multiple generations of artists in a single day.
