Daily Email - Wednesday - 3/26/2025

March 26, 2025

It’s Wednesday, which means you’re either crushing it or coasting until Friday—we support both. But before you fully embrace autopilot, here’s your friendly nudge: Voting for the 2025 San Diego Music Awards closes TOMORROW. This is your last chance to cast your ballot, pretend you have insider music industry knowledge, and support San Diego’s finest. Winners are crowned on 4/29 at Humphreys by the Bay, and yep — we're giving away free tickets. Enter to win!

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Once signed to Fueled by Ramen and fresh off a new album, iDKHOW teams up with Phantom Planet (yes, California Phantom Planet) for a stop at House of Blues on 6/13. Tickets go on sale this Friday!

  • The Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse, and DEHD walk into an amphitheater — no punchline, just a stacked bill hitting Cal Coast Open Air 9/3. One night, three bands, zero skips. Snag your tickets Friday!

  • Fruition lands at Casbah on 6/6. Portland-based and touring nonstop since 2008, they stay blurring the lines between folk, rock, and soul. Tight harmonies, loose vibes. Grab your tickets!

  • Nikki Glaser is rolling into town with jokes sharp enough to ruin Thanksgiving. The Alive and Unwell Tour hits San Diego Civic Theatre 4/6 — so brace for the kind of comedy that makes you laugh, cringe, and text your therapist. 

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Luis Coronel, Wanda Sykes, San Holo, King Taylor Project, Sons of The East, and more!
