Electric Banana Pittsburgh: Events

The Forty Nineteens at Stage AE, August 28, 2022

Upcoming Events

Here is a selected list of Pittsburgh-area events that I think might be of interest to anybody who used to frequent the Electric Banana back in the day, not intended to be a complete list of every single area concert - yet maybe this is the only concert guide you need. For further details, consult your favorite search engine. Schedule is subject to change without notice. We can't be responsible if you drive, hitchhike, or take two buses to a show and find that it's been canceled or sold out. We don't promote shows or have any inside information. We're just some guys who have a web site.
