Daily Email - Monday - 10/20/2025

Hey San Diego – hope you enjoyed that 48-hour weekend. Blinked? It’s Monday again. But December’s looking real good, especially if you’re into acoustic heartbreak and desert twang: Wild Horses Festival is bringing Mumford & Sons, Lord Huron, and Sierra Ferrell to Petco. Win your way in now.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • VNV Nation just announced their 2025 tour, and San Diego gets ‘em first. These guys are reinventing live soul and they’ll be at House of Blues on 4/24 – catch ‘em before the rest of the world figures it out.

  • San Diego Beer Week kicks off with unlimited craft beer samples (yes, you read that right), plus live music from Flash Pants and DJ Twon Burgundy. Wanna go? We’re giving away tickets to Capital of Craft Beer Fest. Tap in before someone drinks your spot.*

  • UK post-punk weirdos Dry Cleaning are returning with Yhwh Nailgun – yes, the band that uses field recordings of construction sites as percussion. It’s two nights of droned-out guitars and spoken-word chaos at Casbah. February just got cooler (and louder).

  • British comedy royalty Michael McIntyre is finally doing a full U.S. tour – and San Diego made the cut. After selling out 33 nights at London’s O2 Arena, he’s hitting Frontwave Arena on 3/18. Enter now for a chance to win free tickets.*

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Del Water Gap, Fly Anakin, Quelle Chris, Maxo, Donny Benet, The Last Dinner Party, and more!

SAN DIEGO’S COOLEST FLEA MARKETS

Some people call it junk. We call it proof that buying secondhand > buying boring. San Diego’s flea markets are full of things you didn’t know you needed until you saw them: hand-painted skate decks, vintage bootleg tees, and deals that’ll make you smirk at retail prices forever. Tap in, treasure hunters.

THIS WEEK

🎶 Jade Bird, Whitney Fenimore

Today @ Casbah (8:30PM)

You ever hear a voice so good it stops time? Jade Bird’s got that. Pair her with Whitney Fenimore’s no-skips songwriting and it’s a double bill of top-tier emotional damage (in the best way).

🎸 Viagra Boys

Tomorrow @ The Sound (8PM)

Don’t let the name fool you — Viagra Boys isn’t your grandpa’s garage band. It’s glitchy punk with feral energy and a frontman who might be part swamp creature.

📣 Twisted Trivia: New Girl

Wednesday @ Quartyard (6PM)

“Who’s that girl?” Hopefully someone who can crush this New Girl trivia night. Bring your loft crew and get ready for rounds that’ll separate the Schmidts from the Coachs.

🎤 Mario

Thursday @ NOVA (10PM)

“Let me love you…” Mario’s back, baby. And he still hits every damn note. Expect a night of slow jams, nostalgia, and proof that real R&B never left.

🩰 San Diego Ballet: Landscapes Art of the Americas

Friday - Saturday @ Museum of Photographic Arts (7PM)

San Diego Ballet’s residency at SDMA is turning heads — and breaking expectations. Landscapes/Art of the Americas pairs Copland with Latin American rhythms in a program that feels more like a cultural awakening than a recital.

LOCALS ONLY

  • San Diego FC just finished first in the West… IN THEIR FIRST. DAMN. SEASON. LFGSD. Playoffs kick off at home on 10/26 at Snapdragon. Get your scarf, yell at a ref, make some noise.

  • Local legend Jack in the Box is saying adiós to Del Taco – selling the whole chain to Bay Area-based Yadav Enterprises for $115 million. All part of a plan to pay down debt and double down on curly fries.
