Peach Pit Brings Indie Pop to Innings Fest Day 1

By on March 9, 2026

Peach Pit delivered a warm and engaging set of melodic indie pop during the Innings Festival on Friday, February 20, 2026. Starting at 5:30 p.m. on the Right Field Stage at Tempe Beach Park, the Vancouver quartet stood out with their catchy guitar-driven hooks and thoughtful lyrics, offering festival-goers a refreshing blend of laid-back charm and energetic live performance that continues to resonate in today’s indie music scene. This was my first time seeing this band, and I honestly had never heard of them. Pleasant surprise!
