Music fans in the San Francisco Bay Area are in for a major disappointment this year. Live 105’s beloved annual concert, Not So Silent Night, has been abruptly canceled for 2025, leaving rock enthusiasts without their favorite holiday musical tradition.

The highly anticipated show was set to feature an impressive lineup including Sublime, Evanescence, Wet Leg, The Paradox, and Yellowcard at the SAP Center in San Jose on December 14th. This cancellation marks a significant setback for the recently revived radio station, which returned to its alternative rock roots in 2023 after several years of format changes.

Live 105, known for hosting legendary concerts over the years, has previously brought incredible artists like Lorde, Radiohead, and Linkin Park to Bay Area stages. The last Not So Silent Night concert occurred in 2017, featuring a star-studded lineup including The Killers, Weezer, and Foster the People.

Unfortunately, the radio station has not provided any explanation for the sudden cancellation, leaving fans frustrated and ticket holders scrambling for refunds. Those who purchased tickets are advised to check the Ticketmaster event page for specific refund instructions.

For long-time Bay Area music fans, this cancellation feels like a significant blow to the local music scene. The Not So Silent Night concert has been a cherished annual tradition, bringing together alternative rock fans and showcasing both established and emerging artists.

While the 2025 concert won’t be happening, there’s hope for music lovers. The radio station has hinted that fans might need to wait until 2026 for the potential return of this iconic concert series. In the meantime, local music enthusiasts will need to seek out alternative live music experiences to fill the void left by this unexpected cancellation.

Stay tuned for potential updates from Live 105, and keep an eye on local event listings for other exciting musical opportunities in the Bay Area.
