Daily Email - Monday - 5/19/2025

May 19, 2025

Another Monday in paradise (aka post-weekend survival mode). Whether you were at the Padres, deep in the festival trenches, or just worshipping the San Diego sun, we’re all crawling back to reality. But fear not—we come bearing gifts.

We’re giving away tickets to see the genre-bending, loop-pedaling wizard Tash Sultana at The Rady Shell on 6/10. Waterfront. Sunset. Vibes. You in? Hit that enter button like your sanity depends on it.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Lorna Shore hits SOMA on 10/13, fresh off a global tour and still riding high on the chaos of Pain Remains. Expect symphonic deathcore at its most cinematic – blast beats, black metal sweeps, and Will Ramos’ growls. No casuals allowed.

  • One stage, zero filters. Brad Williams, Ryan Sickler, Amir K, and a few more jokesters hit Belly Up on 7/14 for a night of off-the-cuff chaos. Williams just sold out back-to-back shows at Netflix Is A Joke Fest – so don’t wait on grabbing your tickets.

  • Beach Fossils are pulling up to The Observatory on 9/27 ready to show off Bunny – their first album since 2017, and yes, it's part nostalgia trip, part live therapy session, and entirely worth skipping your plans for.

  • Haunted melodies, vintage swagger, and a voice that sounds like it’s been time-traveling through velvet curtains – Alexandra Savior returns to San Diego on 8/6 for a set at Music Box. Your tickets aren’t going to secure themselves.

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Hey, Chels, The White Collars, North by North, The Mother Hips, and more!

HOW TO CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY IN SAN DIEGO

Gemini season kicks off tomorrow, and if your birthday’s anywhere near now, consider this your cosmic permission slip to go big. We rounded up the best ways to celebrate in San Diego. Click through and treat yourself like the main character.

THIS WEEK

⭐️ Kate Hudson

Tomorrow @ Belly Up (8PM)

Yes, that Kate Hudson. She’s officially gone from Almost Famous to actually releasing music – her debut album Glorious just dropped, and it’s full of Fleetwood-tinged energy. She’s stepping off the red carpet and onto the stage; now’s the time to catch the crossover.

🎤 Roast Battle

Wednesday @ The Comedy Store La Jolla (8PM)

Roast Battle is back in La Jolla, straight from The Hollywood Comedy Store – and it’s not for the easily offended. Two comics enter, one comic leaves emotionally intact (maybe). Three rounds, zero chill, and judges Mike Vinn and Brian Moses calling shots.

🍽️ Taste of East Village

Wednesday + Thursday @ East Village (4PM)

For two days this week, East Village turns into an edible scavenger hunt. Grab a Taste Passport and snack your way through 30+ local spots dishing out bites, sips, and desserts. It’s part progressive dinner, part neighborhood crawl!

🔥 Single AF Party

Thursday @ ​Toro (9PM)

Single? Taken? It’s complicated? Doesn’t matter. Toro’s throwing a Single AF Party and the drinks are $5. No cover, no pressure—just RSVP and roll in early. Bring your situationship or show up solo. Either way, someone’s leaving with a new crush.

🎶 Thievery Corporation

Friday @ Humphrey’s (7:30PM)

Bossa nova meets dub meets global rebellion – Thievery Corporation is rolling through with the kind of style that makes you question if you’re at a concert or in Rio. Nearly three decades in, they’re still turning every show into an international party.

LOCALS ONLY

  • Your wellness routine just got a beach view. Fit Social is now open – part recovery lounge, part coworking spot. Cold-pressed juice, crudo, wellness, and community are all under one roof. It is open daily from 11 to sunset.

  • Tony Hawk’s Chick & Hawk cocktail pop-up wraps up its run at Swan Bar on 5/22. That means limited-edition drinks, fried chicken by chef Andrew Bachelier, and a final lap around the menu before it kickflips into its own restaurant.
