Daily Email - Monday - 9/22/2025

September 22, 2025

San Diego got a real Sunday — cozy rain, hot soup, and zero FOMO (unless you were one of 3,000 people at a soaked-out festival. Oops).

This week’s reward? The Golden DoWEE. Win Lexus Lounge VIP passes to Southern Smoke Festival (10/04), a stay at the Four Seasons, and $600 in spending money. Sign up for DoMORE!*

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • His voice lives somewhere between Sam Cooke and a sunrise. GoldFord brings his first headline tour to The Observatory on 1/17, and you should probably be there for it.

  • Petco Park’s not just for baseball. Next Monday, it’s a home run for sad songs and soft bangers. The Head And The Heart lead a stacked lineup. Enter to win your way in.*

  • One of the most fearless voices in alt music, Indigo De Souza writes what your inner monologue sounds like at 2am. Her return to San Diego in March is not one to miss.

  • Brad Williams leads a wild stand-up crew — Adam Ray (aka Wolverine’s karaoke king), Eddie Ifft, and a half-dozen other pros with unfiltered punchlines. 12/8 at Belly Up.

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Duran Duran, Steely Band, Suzanne Vega, That Mexican OT, The Dandy Warhols, and more!

OKTOBERFESTS AROUND SAN DIEGO

It’s officially "lederhosen optional" season. Whether you're in it for the beer, the brats, or the Bavarian chaos, we've rounded up every Oktoberfest party hitting San Diego this fall. Your next stein is one click away.

THIS WEEK

🎸 Billy Idol, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts

Tomorrow @ North Island (7:30PM)

The hair might be greyer and the amps might be newer, but the energy’s still the same. Idol and Jett are playing like the icons they are — no half-assing, just pure rock.

✨ Laufey

Wednesday @ Pechanga Arena (7:30PM)

She doesn’t need a light show. Just a mic, a string section, and your undivided attention. Laufey's playing this week — come see what the hype is actually about.

🪩 Disclosure (LIVE)

Thursday @ The Rady Shell (7PM)

Some artists push play and call it a day. Disclosure builds the night from the ground up — song by song, beat by beat. There’s a reason these shows sell out.

⚽ San Diego Wave FC vs. Orlando Pride

Friday @ Snapdragon Stadium (7:30PM)

People say they want to support women’s sports — here’s your chance. Enter to win tickets to see San Diego Wave FC take on Orlando Pride. No excuses.*

🍸 San Diego Spirits Festival

Saturday - Sunday @ MCASD

This weekend’s forecast: vodka, gin, chowder, and zero regrets. San Diego Spirits Festival returns, and it’s not your average sip-and-stroll. Grab your tickets to taste your way through some of the finest spirits on the market.*

LOCALS ONLY

  • The party that broke brains last spring is back. From the minds behind HAGS Fest comes another unhinged daytime rager — this Saturday, 12–3pm. Secret lineup. Secret location. Limited capacity.

  • Padres edged out the White Sox yesterday, and after tonight’s home game vs. the Brewers, they could be playoff-bound. If you're headed downtown, bring the noise — this city's ready for October baseball.
