It’s the Thursday before Friday the 13th, Valentine’s Day, Mardi Gras, and a long weekend — San Diego is in for absolute chaos. We’ll keep things chill with free tickets to Gary Owen’s No Hard Feelings Tour (4/25 @ Civic Theatre).

Enter to win and thank us later.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Two of hip-hop’s most poetic and unpredictable minds – Wale and Smino – are teaming up for Everything Is...The Tour, landing at The Sound on 5/30. That’s Grammy noms, cult classics (blkswn, More About Nothing), and unhinged charisma on one stage.

• Allah-Las are bringing their dusty, California-cool psych rock to The Observatory on 6/3. If you don’t already have their Worship The Sun album on vinyl, now’s the time.

• Phantogram’s known for their brooding synths and breakup anthems, but on 3/20 they’re flipping the script with a DJ set at NOVA. Think less sobbing-in-the-shower, more dancing-in-the-dark.

• Soda Bar gets blessed on 4/12 with the mystical punk-goddess energy of Habibi. If you like your pop with fuzz pedals and poetic fury, don’t miss this.

• Plus other just-announced shows from Paul Simon, The English Beat, Vinyl Williams, Hott MT, 5 SOS, and more!

LUNAR NEW YEAR IN SAN DIEGO

San Diego, we are officially in our Year of the Fire Horse era! There are lion dancers in the streets and lucky envelopes flying. It’s Lunar New Year in SD — and we rounded up where to go.
