Daily Email - Friday - 4/3/2026

You ever hit Friday and feel like you didn’t cross the finish line so much as… eat shit across it? Just me? Cool.

Whatever. It got done. That’s what matters. We’ll circle back on “doing things well” next week.

The only thing keeping me going right now is festival season creeping up. So now it’s your problem too. We’re sending one lucky winner to Joshua Tree Music Festival on 5/14–5/17 – desert, music, vibes, the whole thing. Enter to win a pair of GA tickets.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • 50 years later, and The Wailers are still doing exactly what your mood needs. Two nights at Belly Up this September to reset your entire vibe.

  • Diplo said, “what if we suffer… but make it fun?” then created Diplo’s Run Club. Lace up at Gallagher Square on 11/21. Register now and see you at the finish line… or, should I say, dance floor?

  • Two names that have been holding it down in house music for years. Shiba San and Gene Farris land at NOVA on 4/25 for a night that WILL become a core memory.

  • You don’t even have to be a bluegrass person to get it – you just have to see Billy Strings live once. He plays Pechanga Arena on 9/28. Enter to win your way in.*

  • + MORE just announced shows dropped in April! Shows are added daily and refreshed monthly.

LOCALS LIST: HOW WE DOSD WITH DANIELLA (TOP CREATIVE RESET SPOTS)

Our Locals List is exactly what it sounds like: we tap people who are actually part of the fabric of this city and have them share where they really go. No fluff, no filler — just trusted picks from people who know what they’re doing.

This week, we’ve got Daniella Defrance – founder of CORE Creatives and GATHER – whose world revolves around music, the San Diego community, and putting the right people in the right rooms.

Her picks? Coffee, wine, and creative reset spots that actually hit.

LOCALS ONLY

  • Want free parking back at Balboa Park? This is how it happens. Head to the Organ Pavilion this Saturday (9:30 AM–3 PM) and sign the petition to get it on the ballot.
