Daily Email - Friday - 8/29/2025

August 29, 2025

We made it, people. A three-day weekend is officially on deck and that’s the real win here. But because we’re extra like that, we’re tossing in a little bonus: a chance to score tickets to A Night of Soul this September.

Pocket Change, David Cultura, Nebula and the Cosmos, and DJ RIVA. Smooth. Local. Yours, maybe.

Enter to win tickets!

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Known for catchy chaos and collabs that make zero sense until they go viral, bbno$ hits SOMA on 2/23. San Diego’s not ready.

  • NBA YoungBoy is fresh off house arrest and ready to burn stages. His MASA TOUR lands at Viejas Arena this fall.

  • The beats are sunny, the bass is thick – Veggi brings it all to Music Box 9/5. One of the best-kept secrets in the scene.

  • Southern rock legends The Marshall Tucker Band hit Harrah’s Resort on 10/4. Expect that mix of jam, blues, and feels.

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from West Coast Klassique, Sisters, Season To Risk, Holy Tears, Thee Sacred Souls, Aterciopelados, and more!
