The onset of summer in San Diego is marked by a few things. The dissipation of June Gloom (#IYKYK). Warmer temperatures. Traffic around the SeaWorld, beach, and ballpark areas. And the onset of the San Diego County Fair at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Formerly the “Del Mar Fair”, the San Diego County Fair has a […]
Let’s get weird — it’s Les Claypool night! Marketed as “Claypool Gold”, Les Claypool brought not one, not two, but three of his bands to town on June 1st, complete with the prodigal son Sean Lennon to boot. The place to be was Gallagher Square at Petco Park, home of the Padres, smack dab in […]
For reggae rock lovers in San Diego, June 13th was a BIG day — and it started for many of us before we even made it through the gates. A bunch of Stoopidheads met up at Bub’s at the Ballpark before Field of Dreamz — a massive reggae rock festival taking place at Petco Park, […]
San Diego in summertime… the ocean sparkles, the weather warms, and the vibes are higher than ever. Add in a late-night EDM festival on the shoreline and what more can you ask for?

Entertainment venues usually stay in their own lane — concerts for music halls, standup at comedy clubs. But there are some venues that branch out, as in the case of San Diego’s Belly Up Tavern. Positioned a stone’s throw away from the shoreline in Solana Beach, the Belly Up has played host to countless musical […]
If there ever was a city to kick off a world tour right, it’s in San Diego; we’re laidback, we’re low-maintenance, and we simply love live music when it comes to town. Too many times San Diego gets passed over for large names, sitting in the southern shadows of Los Angeles. This wasn’t the case […]
There are nights of hip hop. Then there are nights of hip hop legends. Stacking three industry-changing names on a bill together is unprecedented — and a show you simply can’t miss. I knew this when I saw that Cypress Hill was bringing the High & Outside – Above the Zone Tour to San Diego’s […]
San Diego got hit with a dose of modern metalcore on April 12th, 2026, as the Silence Follows Tour rolled through town — a fitting name for a night that never actually allowed a moment of silence. Built as a true co-headlining between Currents and ERRA, the tour pulls its title from their latest releases: […]
Whenever Saxsquatch comes to town, you know you’re in for a wild night. There’s only one show where you can see a 7-foot-tall saxophone-wielding Bigfoot bring down the house with his mad deejay skills — all while wearing reflector sunglasses. In preparation for such an event, I got as furry as possible. Over-the-boot fuzzy blue […]
The Sound in Del Mar is always a fun venue; it’s spacious, accommodating, a little bougey with the food offerings including bao buns and street tacos. But I’ve never seen The Sound so packed as I did this past Saturday night for St. Paul & The Broken Bones! Attracting an older crowd, at least the […]
Two decades after the release of If Only You Were Lonely, Hawthorne Heights brought their anniversary tour to House of Blues San Diego on March 26th, 2026. The stop played the 2006 album in full, bringing along a stellar supporting lineup — Creeper opening and letlive. in the direct support slot. With that amount of […]
G. Love brought the Special Sauce to San Diego’s premiere big-little venue Belly Up on Friday, February 26th — a venue tucked away in the upscale coastal neighborhood of Solana Beach. Starting off the night right was Karlos Paez of the B-Side Players, stating “the root of all pop music is African. As the band’s […]
Whoa, fam! We really killed it at Mission Bayfest 2025! The last day of the event was more insane than ever on Sunday, with vibes at their highest. This year, we were spoiled yet again with a lineup that delivered utter bliss and sunshine all day, every day, reminding us why this festival stands out […]
You could feel it in the air: it was that perfect, sun-kissed October day, one that wasn’t too hot, but just right. Day Two of Mission Bayfest 2025 in Mariner’s Point Park in the Mission Bay area of San Diego wasn’t just another day of music following a highly successful Day One; it was an […]
It was a rainy. It was cold. It was a Tuesday night nearing the holidays. The odds were against grandson when his INERTIA Tour hit San Diego’s Observatory Theater in North Park, with H09909 in tow. Despite everything, there was still quite an adequate turnout for the metal-meets-rap-meets-EDM enigmatic singer-songwriter. But up first was another […]
