I wish you were here—and you can be when Incubus takes the stage to perform its monumental album Morning View in its entirety plus its career-spanning hits on the Chase Center stage Thursday, Sept. 12.
Originally released in 2001, the California band celebrates this seminal record with a spectacular tour that brings all the magic of the era back, but in bold new refrain. The band actually released a new recording of the album, which adds new life and dimension to the familiar songs, and you can get a taste of what’s in store by listening to that on streaming platforms now.

This is sure to be a memorable evening for big fans and casual listeners alike. Incubus still puts on one of the best rock shows you can see, but before you go, there are a few things you should know. Just check our handy guide below.
First of all, whether you’re using rideshare to get to the venue or driving yourself, we highly recommend buffering your travel time with an extra half hour or so to account for heightened traffic in the area. Then go ahead and add another 15 minutes to handle your parking your own car.
The Chase Center offers space to pre-paid parking pass holders at two distinct garages: the Mercedes-Benz Garage, accessible from 390 16th St. and 99 Warriors Way; and the Warriors Way Garage, accessible at 150 Warriors Way. Both garages are set to open at 5 p.m. the day of the concerts, and both garages close at midnight. You can learn even more about how to reach these garages at chasecenter.com/parking.
If you didn’t nab a limited parking pass in time, there are third-party operated garages recommended by the Chase Center at 1800 Owens St., and the corner of 19th Street and Illinois Street. When there are no events at Oracle Park, the Chase Center also recommends parking at Lot A at 74 Mission Rock St.
Yes, we’re sure you have the cutest purse picked out for this highly-fashionable show, but if your bag is any larger than 14” long and 6” wide, it’s going to have to be checked at the bag valet on Terry A Francois Blvd for a $10 fee. Backpacks are never allowed, although smaller fashion backpacks and diaper bags that look like backpacks can get a pass if they meet the 14” x 6” requirement. All bags will be searched and screened.
First of all, get your tickets for Thursday here. Now that that’s out of the way:
Printed tickets are a thing of the past at the Chase Center, because the venue has gone completely contactless—at least for entry. Make sure your mobile ticket is ready to be scanned once you get to security, either on your TicketMaster app or the Warriors + Chase Center Mobile App.
It’s always a good idea to download and access your ticket page before leaving the house, in case of a lowered cell signal due to crowds or lack of on-site WiFi. However, please be advised that screenshots of digital tickets don’t always work. Be sure to read the fine print of your mobile ticket.
To warm up the crowd, Incubus is joined by fellow grandiose rockers Coheed and Cambria. These hard-playing prog rockers will get you all riled up with fan favorites, including “Welcome Home,” “A Favor House Atlantic," and more. Doors for this event open at 9:30 p.m. and the music begins promptly at 10:30, so make sure you’re in your seat and ready to roll!
Well, the whole point of the tour is that the band is performing its entire Morning View album from start to finish, so you know what the first part of the evening is going to sound like—although with Brandon Boyd on vocals, Mike Einziger on guitar and the rest of the crew, nothing sounds like the live thing!
Sing along to “Wish You Were Here,” “Nice To Know You” and more. Once the final notes of "Aqueous Transmission" fades, it's a slew of hits from other LPs, including "Pardone Me," "Drive" and more.
