San Diego, we’re halfway through January and already breaking every “new year, new me” promise we made. But you know what? You deserve a little mayhem.

We are giving away tickets to PrideStyle Pro Wrestling: Sink or Swim – an all-ages, inclusive, full-throttle wrestling night going down 1/17 at Mujeres Brew House. It's the ultimate safe space for violence, where queer talent and San Diego legends collide in a beer garden filled with body slams and zero tolerance for bigots.

Enter to win!

JUST ANNOUNCED

• San Diego just scored a major summer show: Chris Stapleton + Molly Tuttle at North Island on 7/10. This is big-league Americana – grit, twang, heartbreak, and harmony. Tickets go on sale next week.

• Dubstep demon Svdden Death touches down on 2/6 – and NOVA might not survive. He’s one of the heaviest acts on the circuit, with a fanbase that treats shows like rituals.

• Two of the most influential sludge bands in history, Crowbar + Eyehategod – in a bar-sized venue? You’re not dreaming. It’s happening 3/25 at Soda Bar, with Killwatt opening.

• There’s emo, and then there’s Weakened Friends + Dream 99 in a dive bar at peak summer. 6/22 at Whistle Stop. If you’ve ever loved a band more than a person, this one’s already in your calendar.

• Plus other just announced shows from Charley Crockett, David Rust, Adam Ellis, Screeching Weasel, Jamey Johnson, Tigers Jaw, and more!
