(MONTCLAIR, NJ) -- The Wellmont Theater presents Switchfoot on Friday, October 2, 2026 at 8:00pm. The band has spent nearly three decades cementing their place as one of alternative rock's most enduring and impactful acts. Anberlin will open the night.
With over 10 million albums sold, including their 3x Platinum breakthrough The Beautiful Letdown and GRAMMY Award-winning Hello Hurricane, the beloved band has built a global following through emotionally resonant songwriting and electrifying live performances, selling more than five million tickets across 40+ countries.
With a renewed focus on the present moment, the band delivered their first record in five years, Forever Now – their fourteenth studio album, on June 26. A bold, guitar-driven return to their classic sound, the project serves as their most thematic and narrative-driven work to date, centering on the emotional roller coaster of a person’s final day on Earth. Produced by longtime collaborator Mike Elizondo, Forever Now captures the band’s rekindled love of “big guitars, big hooks and big themes,” while pushing their storytelling to new heights.
Tickets start at $39.60 and are available for purchase online. The Wellmont Theater is located at 5 Seymour Street in Montclair, New Jersey.
Switchfoot has always called themselves a band of brothers – Jon Foreman (vocals/guitar), Tim Foreman (bass), Boaz Roberts (guitar), Jerome Fontamillas (keys/guitar) and Chad Butler (drums).
Beyond the music, Switchfoot continues to make a meaningful impact through their Bro-Am Foundation, which has raised over $3 million over the past 20 years to support at-risk youth in the band’s hometown of San Diego.
Openers Anberlin will release their ninth studio album, Currency, on November 11th. It's the first full album to include Matty Mullins who replaced Stephen Christian as lead vocalist. Anberlin formed in 2002 and includes Christian McAlhaney (guitar and vocals), Joseph Milligan (guitar), Deon Rexroat (bass), and Nathan Young (drums).
