Sunn O))) plays the Historic Ashland Armory in Ashland, Oregon, on Friday, October 30, 2026, at 8:00 PM. The Seattle drone band is touring its self-titled tenth studio album, and Black Mountain is billed as support on the show listing.
When is Sunn O))) in Ashland?
Friday, October 30, 2026, with the show listed at 8:00 PM. Ashland is on the band's fall North American tour, as announced in July and reported by Consequence. Check your ticket for doors time, and confirm the opener on the ticket page.
Where is it and how do you get there from Etna?
The Historic Ashland Armory is at 208 Oak Street in downtown Ashland. From Blossom it is about 1 hour 15 minutes: Highway 3 north to Yreka, then I-5 north over the Siskiyou Summit into Oregon.
This is a late night, and the whole drive home will be after dark. Go with someone, stay on Highway 3 and I-5, and take it slow for deer, especially on the Highway 3 stretch near home. Late October can bring the first snow to the Siskiyou Summit, so check Caltrans QuickMap before you leave, and again before you start home. If you'd like daylight on the way up, leave Etna by about 4:30 and have dinner in Ashland before the show.
What should you know before you go?
Bring earplugs. Sunn O))) is known for playing at overwhelming volume, with sound you feel in your chest. Good earplugs make the night better, not quieter.
The music: long, slow, heavy drones played in fog and low light. Expect few songs in the usual sense and a lot of atmosphere.
Tickets: follow the show listing for ticket links and any age policy.
Plan your sober driver: there is no ride share back to the valley, so agree on who drives before the first drink.
Dress warm: you'll walk to and from the car on a cold October night.
Rest after

After a night like this, a slow Saturday is the right call. Blossom Sanctuary is a private retreat house in Etna for one to four guests, with checkout at 11 AM, so nobody has to rush the morning after. See open dates and prices.
