Pearl Jam returned to San Diego on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2022 at Viejas Arena since rescheduling their Gigaton Tour due to COVID-19 back in 2020. The sold-out show was filled with past and present fans who came together to celebrate one of their favorite bands. Pearl Jam gave fans an incredible nearly three-hour show, with a […]
It’s not a well-known fact to anyone outside of the Nashville music scene, but a legacy is coming to an end shortly in the Music City: rock scene venue staples Mercy Lounge, The High Watt and Cannery Ballroom are all closing for good. While it is unclear if owners will ever reopen in a new […]
The Bay Strikes Back Tour finally rolled into San Diego on April 12th, 2022! This tour — with thrash metal legends Death Angel, Exodus and Testament — started in February 2020 and was in Europe at the start of the pandemic. Unfortunately, they had to cancel the tour and get back home to the US. […]
On May 6th, I was fortunate enough to see one the best up-and-coming pop punk bands straight from Australia — Stand Atlantic, with Cemetery Sun and With Confidence. At the new Ventura Music Hall (which I was excited to check out, because I remember what this venue used to be), the first up was a band […]
Yeehaw, it’s OFFICIAL! The 2022 Austin City Limits Festival (ACL) lineup is here and it’s impressive.

The HU came to San Diego’s Humprey’s By The Bay during their Black Thunder Tour, supported by The Haunt! Having just played Coachella the day before, I would say this was the first ‘real’ stop on their headlining tour. The Haunt is a band from South Florida and consists of siblings, Anastasia Grace Haunt (lead […]
The time has come! Machine Gun Kelly has released his album, Mainstream Sellout. Previously titled ‘Born With Horns’, the sudden change in album name is perfect, considering this is Machine Gun Kelly’s second pop punk effort. Nothing is hits the mainstream harder than selling out to pop punk, right? Bummer that Machine Gun Kelly had […]
The Offspring kicked off their tour in San Diego at Cal Coast Amphitheatre on the SDSU campus. I love seeing the opening night of a tour, especially after a pandemic; everyone is just stoked to be back onstage doing their thing again. That said, The Offspring did play Blue Ridge Rock Festival in 2021, but this is […]
The year was 1996 and I was a freshman at a small-town highschool. I remember the anxiety of that first day: stepping off the bus, filled with a naive optimism about the new friends and experiences I was about to have. I found myself now mixed into a world of mature-themed concepts, introduced by the […]
Excited Deftones fans were so happy to finally see the band live on April 18th, after a long wait due to the COVID-19 pandemic. You could tell the band was also estatic to be back, reminiscing the good ‘ol days alongside fellow hard rock bands Gojira and Vowws at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San […]

This racetrack-turned-festival grounds will feature Main Stage headlining performances […]
Some shows take you by surprise, no matter how prepared you are for them. I’ve been a fan of Car Seat Headrest for years now… having seen them only once, opening up for Death Cab at the Hollywood Bowl. I went to that show specifically for CSH back in the summer of 2019 and remember […]
