Multi -platinum selling WAR is taking over the stage at the Arlington Music Hall on Saturday, October 17th 2026!

WAR has been bringing people together through music since 1969, blending funk, soul, rock, Latin, jazz, and R&amp;B into a sound all their own. Founded on a message of brotherhood, unity, and hope, the multi-cultural band broke musical and social barriers while creating some of the most enduring hits of the 1970s, including “Low Rider,” “Why Can’t We Be Friends?,” “The Cisco Kid,” “Spill the Wine,” and “Slippin’ Into Darkness.” Led by founding member Lonnie Jordan, WAR has earned numerous gold and platinum records and continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its timeless music and uplifting message.🎤 WAR📅 Saturday, October 17, 2026🚪 Doors open at 6:00 PM🕗 8:00 PM📍 Arlington Music Hall, 224 N. Center Street, Arlington, TX 76011

WAR’s signature fusion of funk, soul, jazz, Latin, rock and street music is what first propelled them to prominence over 5 decades ago, but it was their ability to craft songs of social consciousness that further cemented their place in the modern American songbook. The immediate global impact of “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” was so profound that NASA transmitted the title track into space during the historic Apollo-Soyuz mission in 1975. Since then, WAR have continued to sing out against racism, hunger, crime and conflict, while their music has been sampled by Janet Jackson, Tupac, Beastie Boys, Method Man, Sublime, Redman, Cypress Hill, Shaggy, A$AP Mob, Scarface, The Geto Boys, De La Soul, Flo Rida, Liam Payne, Thomas Rhett and more, and covered by everyone from Willie Nelson to The Muppets, George Clinton, Phish, ZZ Top and The Isley Brothers. In 2025, the band was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. With more than 50 million albums sold, 20 gold, platinum and multi-platinum records, three Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame noms, a GRAMMY Hall of Fame entry, four #1 LPs, nine Top 10s and twenty Top 40 songs, WAR didn’t just define the sound of the 1970s—they became a lasting voice for creative collaboration and social change, with a mission of love and harmony that resonates now more than ever. From the prophetic message of “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” to the timeless groove of “Low Rider,” this collection captures WAR at their most innovative and socially impactful. More than just a musical milestone, Why Can’t We Be Friends? (50th Anniversary Collector’s Edition) reaffirms the album’s relevance—both as a reflection of the polarizing era that inspired it, and as a beacon of hope for our present and future. As WAR continues its sixth decade, their influence remains undeniable. Recent honors—including their inductions/presentation of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and a key to the city of Long Beach—further cement WAR’s status as musical and cultural giants. Meanwhile, WAR will hit the road for dozens of tour dates across the US and abroad, including a hometown, headline performance at the LA County Fair, and many more you can find at<a href="https://war.com/tour" title="https://war.com/tour" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> https://war.com/tour</a>.
