We made it to Friday – don’t ask how. And if you’re craving something with twang, grit, and an actual soul, here’s your shot:

Colter Wall, the Saskatchewan cowboy with the baritone to prove it, is playing TWO nights at Petco Park (Feb 20–21), and we’re giving away a pair of tickets to each night! Go full western and enter to win.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Valentine’s weekend is close! Cupid’s Secret runs throughout Valentine’s season in New York City. Sign up for DoMORE to enter for a Flyaway including VIP tickets, meet & greet with featured artists, merch, a hotel stay at The Moxy, and a $600 travel voucher.*

• Paul Simon will play A Quiet Celebration at The Rady Shell on 6/9. A one-of-a-kind night with new takes on the songs that made him a household name. After retiring from touring, this is one of the only shows he’s performing.

• Iron & Wine live is the sonic equivalent of watching raindrops on a train window while thinking about someone you kissed in college. See him at The Magnolia on 10/20 — tickets are expected to go fast.

• That gay hockey show everyone’s obsessed with? This rave is for that. On 3/27, Michael Medrano & Gregory Dillan bring the Heated Rivalry energy to Music Box — think mesh, sports gear, and queer club chaos.

• Plus other just-announced shows from Metric, Broken Social Scene, Stars, Rosalia, 5 Seconds of Summer, and more!

FREE FUN FRIDAY

You’re broke. We get it. San Diego doesn’t.

That’s why we made a list of the best completely free events happening around town — no wristbands, no secret fees, no shame.

TONIGHT

LOCALS ONLY

• San Diego, we did it. You yelled about parking, and the city actually listened. Starting 3/2, locals get free parking in way more Balboa Park spots. And enforcement now ends at 6PM. Rejoice accordingly.

• An anthem for the overtired, overworked humans who need a holiday. Get cozy and watch Clare Twiddy's new music video for Slow It Down!*
