Daily Email - Friday - 9/19/2025

September 19, 2025

Another Friday, another reason to stay out too late in San Diego. Good news: next weekend's already looking just as stacked.

Even better news? The next next weekend is looking even better, plus you could win tickets to Dream Theater at Frontwave Arena on 10/4. Think epic riffs, math-rock precision, and fans who know every time signature by heart.

  • LED has been on fire lately, and this Jai Wolf show on 12/13 is proof. Bring your headphones to pregame, you’ll want to hear "Starlight" on the way there.

  • Summer Salt is bringing their breezy blend of indie, surf, and soft heartbreak to town this March. The Observatory will feel like a warm hug… only if you grab your tickets in time!

  • Wild Child plays the kind of music you wish someone would make a movie about your life to. Catch them 11/29 at House of Blues.

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Duran Duran, mgk, Wiz Khalifa, Beauty School Dropout, Donavon Frankenreiter, Hendrix Frankenreiter, and more!
