Longtime Japanese band, based in Minneapolis, Birthday Suits returns to the Turf Club stage, for one night only, on July 24, 2026, to help their fellow Japanese band Peelander-Z who was recently in a horrible car accident on tour. This Peelander-Z Benefit show will help them on the road to recovery. If you want to donate directly, they have setup a GoFundMe Page.

Peelander-Z were involved in a horrific traffic accident while touring in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and they’re hospitalized with traumatic injuries. They were rear-ended by an 18-wheeler in their van and are lucky to be alive. The road to recovery is going to be a long and challenging one, but if anyone can do it, it’s Peelander-Z!

Virginia indie-rock duo Vacation Manor will be headlining the 7th Street Entry, on July 31, 2026.

The last we heard from the duo was their EP Back to Town released on Nettwerk. The release was elf-produced by Nathan Towles [guitar, vocals] and Cole Young [drums] over the past two years, celebrating their 10 years as a band.

Nathan shares:

We’ve always set out to make records that feel personal and honest. Simply put, ‘Back to Town’ was my way of reconciling the past, trying to live into the present, and have a sense of optimism for the future. Sonically this collection of songs draws from a lot of our main influences (The Sundays, Wilco, The Cure, Brandon Flowers, Oasis, Nick Drake, etc.) in a way that felt authentic to us.
