When a band has shaped the soundtrack of American life for over half a century, their live shows become more than concerts—they become history lessons. That’s exactly what’s on tap when WAR brings its 50th Anniversary Greatest Hits Tour to Soboba Casino Resort on December 19th.

WAR at Soboba Casino Resort December 19th
SAN JACINTO, CA, UNITED STATES, November 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Soboba Casino Resort is proud to welcome legendary funk, soul and rock band WAR and its 50th Anniversary Greatest Hits Tour to the Soboba Casino Resort Event Center on Saturday, December 19th at 8pm. The show is for guests 21 and over only.
For more than five decades, WAR has created an unmistakable sound blending funk, soul, R&B, rock, Latin music, jazz and blues. The band first broke through internationally after joining forces with former Animals frontman Eric Burdon, recording the worldwide hit “Spill the Wine.” WAR went on to establish an identity all its own with a remarkable collection of songs that have become part of the American musical landscape, including “Low Rider,” “Why Can’t We Be Friends?,” “The Cisco Kid,” “The World Is a Ghetto,” “Slippin’ Into Darkness,” “All Day Music” and “Summer.”
The band reached new heights with its album “The World Is a Ghetto,” which became Billboard’s best-selling album of 1973. In 1975 WAR released “Why Can’t We Be Friends?,” featuring two of the group’s most enduring songs, “Low Rider” and the title track “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” Throughout its career, WAR has earned 17 gold, platinum or multi-platinum certifications, while its music has continued to reach new generations through film, television, advertising, sampling and covers by other artists.
In 2026, WAR is celebrating another milestone: the 50th anniversary of its landmark “Greatest Hits” collection. The anniversary is being commemorated with a special 50th-anniversary reissue and the Greatest Hits Tour, giving longtime fans and new audiences the opportunity to experience the music that has made WAR one of the most enduring bands of its generation.
