This year was supposed to mark the return of Not So Silent Night, the once-annual modern rock event that went down in the Bay Area each winter holiday season from 1991 to 2019. But today Live 105, the radio station that’s hosted the big gig, announced that Not So Silent Night 2025 has been canceled. No further explanation was provided.
This year’s Not So Silent Night was scheduled for December 14, set to feature Sublime, Evanescence, Wet Leg, the Paradox, and Yellowcard. It would’ve also been the first Not So Silent Night since the broadcasting company Audacy relaunched Live 105 back in 2023; the popular alt-rock station endured a botched rebranding effort, including a pivot to adult hits, before Audacy brought it back to its usual alt-focused format.
“We know this is disappointing news, and we truly regret that we won’t be able to bring the show to you this year,” Live 105 wrote in their announcement.
