May 16, 2025

The weekend’s knocking, and Sunday’s shaping up to be more than just your weekly excuse to avoid laundry. San Diego Wave FC takes on North Carolina Courage at Snapdragon, and we’ve got a pair of tickets with your name on them. Hit the giveaway, channel your inner superfan, and let’s pack the stands.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • The Mother Hips roll into town 10/11 with jangly riffs, California soul, and the kind of road-worn rock that smells faintly of dive bars. They've been doing this since the '90s, which means they’re tight. Now lock in your tickets.

  • Trevor Wallace is bringing his Alpha Beta Male Tour to Balboa Theatre on 5/29, and we’re giving away tickets. If you’ve ever cried laughing at a White Claw joke or parody of your major, this one’s for you. Enter now, before your roommate does.*

  • Jon Batiste plays The Rady Shell on 9/19. That’s it. That’s the post. If you know, you know – and if you don’t, this is your chance to find out why everyone else does.

  • If anxiety is overwhelming your thoughts, try BetterHelp. Their virtual therapists offer judgment-free phone, video, or text therapy, and you'll get the first week for free!*

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Tim Heidecker, The Altons, Thee Sinseers, Nation of Language, Deeper, Ty Dolla Sign, and more!

FREE FUN FRIDAY

Happy Free Fun Friday, y'all! Remember, having a great time in San Diego doesn't always have to cost a fortune; sometimes it doesn't cost anything at all. Here's the latest lineup of complimentary fun:

TONIGHT

😹 Comedy Jamwich

Tonight @ Union Cowork - North Park (7:30PM)

Comedy Jamwich is back tonight with jokes, jams, and just enough chaos to qualify as a party. It’s part stand-up, part concert, and part “did that really just happen?” Your ticket gets you free drinks, so show up early, grab a seat, and let the weirdness unfold.

🌺 Hawaiian Reggae Night Featuring Kekoa The Artist w/ The Dub Squad & Kanoa

Tonight @ The Holding Company (7:30PM)

Island rhythms hit the mainland tonight. Kekoa The Artist teams up with The Dub Squad and Kanoa for a Hawaiian Reggae Night that’s all good energy. Live painting by Priscilla Bree adds to the mix. It’s like a tropical vacation for your ears.

🌴 Tulum Vibes Rooftop Party

Tonight @ Cielo Rooftop Lounge (9PM)

Cielo Speak Easy Rooftop Lounge is bringing jungle house, rooftop energy, and just the right amount of mystique. Think less tourist trap, more after-dark escape. Dress like you're not going home early – because you’re not.

🌵 Hermanos Gutiérrez

Tonight @ The Sound (8PM)

Tonight’s soundtrack? Desert blues, slow-burn twang, and hypnotic guitar work courtesy of Hermanos Gutiérrez. It’s like a Sergio Leone film scored by a pair of Swiss-Ecuadorian cowboys. Moody, cinematic, and best experienced live.

🪐 Space Yacht: Secret House Lineup

Tonight @ Bloom (10PM)

Space Yacht is back and playing coy with the lineup – but that’s half the thrill. House heads know the drill: show up, lock in, and let the bass sort the rest. If you're into secret sets, surprise drops, and sweaty dance floors, this is your kind of Friday night chaos.
