The Exploited, Toxic Energy, Desmadre and Gutter Poets share the bill. The Exploited arrive as a four-piece, while Orange County’s Toxic Energy bring a six-member lineup with vocals, bass, three guitars and drums.
The Exploited are a Scottish band from Edinburgh, central to the UK’s second-wave punk movement and known for their 1981 album Punk’s Not Dead and politically outspoken songs. Their sound has been described as “simple, no-frills,” driven by speed and aggression. Toxic Energy are a punk-rock band from Orange County.
Transplants Brewing pairs its own inventive beers and otherworldly art with a dedicated room for live performances, giving a show night a distinctly brewery-made backdrop. In Palmdale’s industrial area, you can start in the taproom among custom murals, then move into the connected music hall, where a second bar lets you keep a drink close without leaving the performance. The lineup ranges from touring bands to comedy, drag, burlesque and wrestling, so check the event listing for the specific night’s format and ticket details. There is no in-house kitchen; food trucks rotate through, with schedules posted alongside events. The brewery’s current site lists regular opening hours and a live calendar, making it an operating spot where a concert can be part of a broader evening out.
