The Beastie Boys will be performing a free show at the Etnies Goofy Vs Regular skateboarding festival in Lake Forest, California, on October 20 at 8 p.m. Although the show is free, tickets are required. They will be distributed at skate shops in Southern California. (See ticket drop schedule below.)

In the interest of full disclosure, fans should know that this concert is in fact the Etnies employees party. Fewer than 100 tickets total will be distributed for free at skate shops, making this show not a very sure shot for fans. Etnies employees are allowed to bring one guest, so if you know someone who works for Etnies, hit them up for an invite.
