SAN FRANCISCO ([url=https://www.kron4.com/]KRON) — Recently returned Bay Area alternative rock station Live 105 has abruptly canceled this year’s “Not So Silent Night” holiday concert. The station’s signature holiday event was first held back in 1991, and this year’s was to be the first since the station relaunched as Live 105 in June of 2023.
On Wednesday, however, Live 105 announced in a Facebook post the concert had been canceled.
“We’re sorry to share that the Not So Silent Night concert has been cancelled this year,” the post read. “We know this is disappointing news, and we truly regret that we won’t be able to bring the show to you this year.”
This year’s “Not So Silent Night” was set to be headlined by Sublime with Evanescence, Yellowcard, Wet Let and The Paradox also on the bill. Longstanding Live 105 DJ Aaron Axelson was set to open the show.

More information, including refund details, is available on the Live 105 website.
The radio station, which is owned by Audacy, gave no reason for the concert’s abrupt cancellation. “Not So Silent Night” was due to take place on Dec. 14 at the SAP Center in San Jose.

Not that I was planning on going. Although I do listen to Live 105 when driving in the South Bay and the ads had me thinking I'd like to see Evanescence some day.
