Alien Ant Farm holiday’s concert “Here Comes sANTa” with the Riverside City College Studio Orchestra is happening on Saturday, Dec. 8.

Tickets are $12.50 in advance and $15 at the show. It’s going to be a really special night for the band, who just announced that they will be performing at the 2013 South By Southwest Music Coneference in Austin, Texas.

With the band’s upcoming album, this hometown show on Saturday could be the last chance to see the band locally for quite some time.

It starts at 8 p.m. Dec. 8 at Landis Performing Arts Center on the RCC Campus at 4800 Magnolia Ave. in Riverside. You can call 951-222-8100 or visit www.landsicpac.com for tickets.

That’s only one of the holiday shows happening this season.

For those of you who found me through the X103.9 newsletter, you probably already know that the Merry Meltdown with the Dirty Heads,P.O.D., Switchfoot, Lit, Anberlin, Sick Puppies and Dose of Adolescence is happening Dec. 16 at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario. It’s going to be kind of epic. General admission seats are $10.39 and general admission floor tickets are $35 for the show. You can pick them up at www.axs.com.

However, there are even more holiday concerts from local performers throughout the month, including Knock-Out, Buddha Bomb, The Paper Crowns, The Sleeping Sea King and many more.
