Jack Johnson, Doobie Brothers & Brad Paisley To Headline BeachLife Ranch 2023

Jack Johnson, the Doobie Brothers and Brad Paisley are set to headline the upcoming BeachLife Ranch festival, scheduled to take place September 22 - 24 on the waterfront in Redondo Beach, California.

The Avett Brothers, Wynonna Judd, Blackberry Smoke, Shakey Graves, Bahamas, Keb' Mo', Midland, Yola and Amanda Shires are among other acts named in the lineup for the festival.

Shooter Jennings will present The Highwaymen Revival set at the festival, while Devon Allman and Donavon Frankenreiter are set to bring their "World Record Attempt: See It All American Tour" to Redondo Beach.

The festival co-founder and producer Allen Sanford said last year that the goal was to introduce the concept to the community and build awareness for the "coastal country" event.

"It's a difficult brand exercise," Sanford said of developing a second festival at one location. "It's still the same good time, still boutique catered to the consumer, not big lines, not crazy busy, just a different vibe more inspired by Central California, country/Americana and folk."

The inaugural BeachLife Ranch last year was topped by Brandi Carlile, The Lumineers and Dierks Bentley.

Hollywood Vampires Postpone Shows After Johnny Depp Injures Ankle

The Hollywood Vampires have rescheduled several of their U.S. concerts as Johnny Depp recovers from an ankle injury.

"Johnny has sustained a painful injury to his ankle following his recent appearances and has been advised by his doctor not to travel," the Hollywood Vampires wrote on social media.

Upcoming concerts in Boston, Massachusetts; Manchester, New Hampshire; and Bethel, New York will now take place on July 28, 29 and 30, respectively. All tickets will be valid for the new dates.

Earlier this week, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor announced that he needs to postpone some of his upcoming concerts with his band Hollywood Vampires due to an injury.

Hollywood Vampires consist of Depp, Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen.

"My dear friends, I am sorry to say that I have fractured my ankle, which is a drag!!!" Depp wrote on his Instagram Story.

"It began as a hairline break but somewhere between Cannes and Royal Albert Hall, it got worse rather than better," Depp wrote, referencing the Cannes Film Festival and a tribute concert to Jeff Beck. "Several medical professionals have strongly suggested I avoid any and all activity for the moment and so am sadly unable to travel at this time."
