Casper, Wyoming, is getting a big summer concert night when Dirty Heads and ROME take the stage at The Gaslight Social on Friday, August 7, 2026.
The concert is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at the downtown Casper venue, with doors opening at 6 p.m. The Gaslight Social is located at 314 W. Midwest Ave.
The show comes as Dirty Heads continue a busy 2026 run following the release of their ninth studio album, 7 Seas, giving fans a chance to hear the band’s longtime favorites alongside newer material.
Dirty Heads Bring Their California Sound to Wyoming
Dirty Heads have built a recognizable sound by blending reggae, hip-hop and rock with the laid-back feel associated with their Huntington Beach, California, roots.
The group features Jared “Dirty J” Watson, Dustin “Duddy B” Bushnell, Jon Olazabal, Matt Ochoa and David Foral. The band has developed a large U.S. following through songs including “Vacation,” “Lay Me Down,” “Life’s Been Good” and “My Sweet Summer.”
“Vacation” became one of the band’s biggest modern hits after gaining major traction through the viral #VacationTransition trend. The song helped introduce Dirty Heads to a new generation of listeners while strengthening the group’s already established fan base.
New Album Gives the Show a Fresh Angle
The Casper performance arrives during a new chapter for Dirty Heads.
The band released 7 Seas, its ninth studio album, in June 2026. The record includes 10 songs and continues the group’s mix of reggae, rock and hip-hop influences.
The new album gives the upcoming Wyoming show more than a nostalgia factor. Fans can expect the concert to draw from the band’s established catalog while also giving the latest record a place in the live set.
Dirty Heads have also been moving through a packed summer schedule, with dates across the United States surrounding the Casper appearance. The band’s official tour information lists the group performing with 311, Ocean Alley, Atmosphere and ROME during its 2026 touring run.
ROME Returns Alongside Dirty Heads
ROME is another major part of the Casper lineup.
Rome Ramirez has a long history with the Dirty Heads camp, including a featured appearance on “Lay Me Down,” one of the group’s best-known songs. The collaboration helped establish a musical connection that has continued over the years.
The two acts appearing together gives the Casper show an added connection to the California reggae-rock scene rather than making it simply another stop on a national concert calendar.
The current event listings confirm both Dirty Heads and ROME as the lineup for the August 7 performance at The Gaslight Social.
A Busy Night for Downtown Casper
The Gaslight Social has been hosting a steady run of live music through the summer, with Dirty Heads and ROME following recent performances from artists including Corey Kent and Amble.
The venue describes itself as a downtown Casper hangout with live music, food, drinks, games and an outdoor space. Visit Casper lists the Gaslight Social at 314 W. Midwest Ave. and describes its nighttime programming as an adult-friendly live entertainment setting.
The August 7 concert also lands on a busy Friday night for Casper entertainment, with a separate comedy performance scheduled at The Rialto Casper the same evening.
What Fans Can Expect
The Dirty Heads and ROME show offers a mix of familiar hits, newer material and the relaxed California-inspired sound that has helped the band maintain a strong following across the country.
For longtime Dirty Heads fans, the concert provides an opportunity to hear songs from across the band’s catalog. For newer listeners, the timing of the show alongside the release of 7 Seas makes it a chance to experience the group’s latest era in a live setting.
The show is scheduled for Friday, August 7, at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6 p.m. at The Gaslight Social in Casper.
Casper Gets a Major Summer Concert Stop
With Dirty Heads coming off a new album release and ROME joining the bill, the August 7 performance stands out as one of the more notable live music events on Casper’s summer calendar.
The combination of a nationally recognized California band, a familiar collaborator and fresh material from 7 Seas gives the Gaslight Social show a strong summer concert hook for local music fans.
As Dirty Heads continue their 2026 tour, Casper will get its own night with the band on Friday, giving Wyoming fans a chance to catch the group before its tour moves on to additional stops across the country.
