Hey Team – Mentally, I’m at Coachella. Physically, I am… not. Which means I’ll be spending the next two weekends watching clips of Justin Bieber and pretending I don’t care (I do).

So while I process that, you should probably do the opposite of me and actually secure tickets to something fun:

Win tickets to Emo vs. Pop-Punk: Myspace Music Video Party (6/6 @ The Holding Co.)

It’s all your favorites, back where they belong – blasting on a giant screen while you scream every word like it’s still on your profile. My Chemical Romance. Panic! At The Disco. Paramore. Blink-182. And a whole lot more.

Who takes your profile song? And if you don't know what I’m talking about…You had to be there.

👉 Enter to win a pair of tickets.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• For four days, UCSD stops feeling like a campus and becomes an open-world art experiment. WOW Festival (4/23–26) brings together 20+ immersive performances from artists around the world.*

• Want an artist whose music sounds like summer time all the time? Brett Dennen is that guy. With a catalog that leans warm and easy, his 6/24 show at Belly Up will feel like a reset button.

• If you’ve seen clips of those packed, feel-good DJ sets online lately, there’s a good chance it was TINZO & JOJO. They link with Soul Clap (who’ve been shaping house and funk for years) at Quartyard on 7/19. LETS DANCE!

• There’s something very specific about this era of music, and both of these bands paved the way. Silverstein and Story Of The Year bring that curated energy to The Observatory on 7/25. Tickets go live Friday!

• Plus other just announced shows from The Soul Rebels, The Beach Boys, Leann Rimes, Al Green, and more!

LISTEN LOCAL: SAN DIEGO MUSIC AWARDS NOMINEE SHOWCASES

San Diego’s music scene is deeper than people give it credit for, and this is one of the easiest ways to tap in. The SDMA Nominee Showcases kick off tomorrow, with multiple nights of live sets from artists up for this year’s San Diego Music Awards – aka your chance to see who’s making moves before the awards hit in May.

THIS WEEKEND

LOCALS ONLY.

• The Padres City Connect uniforms are officially here – and yeah, we saw the leak, and yeah, I still love them. Argue with someone else. You can be the first to grab the gear at Sunday’s game. (It’s also Kid Fest, if you’re rolling deep).

• If heartbreak had a soundtrack (and a burning piano), it would sound like this. Watch Clare Twiddy's dramatic music video for "Love Is Dead."*
