About this event

The Wallflowers bring their landmark 1996 album Bringing Down the Horse back to life on its 30th anniversary tour, stopping at the historic Pensacola Saenger Theatre just 45 minutes from Destin. The album produced the Grammy-winning hit "One Headlight" and featured the Fleetwood Mac cover "Invisible," cementing the band's place in 90s rock history. Lead singer Jakob Dylan and the band will perform the record in full alongside fan favorites, making for a memorable night of classic alt-rock on the Gulf Coast.

The Pensacola Saenger Theatre is a beautifully restored 1925 Spanish Baroque landmark seating 1,882 — an intimate setting that makes every seat feel close to the stage. For vacationers staying in Destin or along 30A, this is a perfect evening excursion. Doors typically open one hour before showtime.

Best for:

Rock music fans, 90s nostalgists, couples, music lovers of all ages

A full front-to-back performance of Bringing Down the Horse plus Tom Petty Long After Dark — two complete iconic albums in one evening at a beautiful historic venue
