One805LIVE! has grown into a two-day concert experience, and the 2026 lineup is shaping up as one of the strongest yet. Kevin Costner & Modern West joins previously announced performers Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo and George Thorogood for a benefit weekend set for September 25 and 26 at Costner’s oceanside estate in Summerland. All artists donate their time and performances in support of Santa Barbara County First Responders, the mission that has defined One805LIVE! since the nonprofit was founded in the wake of the 2018 Montecito debris flow.
Costner’s involvement goes well beyond headlining. A longtime Montecito resident, he opens his home to the event each year and has been a consistent presence in the organization’s mission. His Americana and country-rock outfit Modern West, founded in 2007, has nearly two decades of touring and recording behind them, most recently with ‘Tales From Yellowstone,’ a collection of songs from and inspired by the Paramount series. Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo bring more than 36 million records sold and four consecutive Grammy Awards to the bill, while blues-rock legend George Thorogood adds 50-plus years of high-energy performance and a catalog that includes “Bad to the Bone” and “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer.”
The two-day format expands the event’s reach significantly. Approximately one third of attendees are First Responders invited as guests of One805, and the expanded programming allows the organization to welcome more members of the First Responder community while generating greater proceeds for equipment, mental health services, and wellness initiatives. Music supervisor Alan Parsons, OBE, returns to oversee the lineup. Additional performers will be announced in the coming months.
