SAN DIEGO’S ULTIMATE COUNTRY GUIDE

Think San Diego’s all surfboards and indie bands? Think again.

Out here, country’s alive and kickin’—from two-step throwdowns in PB to honky tonk dive bars off El Cajon. We rounded up the best country shows rollin’ through town, the rowdiest bars to boot-scoot in, where to snag concert-ready fits, and yes—exactly where to line dance like nobody’s watching.

This is your no-BS guide to San Diego’s country scene. Let’s ride.

THIS WEEKEND

⭐️ North Park Music Fest

Saturday @ North Park (12PM)

This ain’t your average gated-off parking lot fest. North Park’s going full neighborhood takeover—40+ acts bouncing between your favorite dive bars, art spaces, and hidden gems. Walkable, local, and loud in the best way.

🪩 ChaseWest

Saturday @ Palms Beach Club (7PM)

From the Do LaB to Miami Music Week to Mission Beach — ChaseWest brings deep, minimal house heat to the shoreline. Sunset grooves, no shoes, bass in your chest. P.S. Afters at Spin.

⚽️ San Diego Wave FC vs. Seattle Reign FC

Saturday @ Snapdragon Stadium (7PM)

High stakes, home turf. San Diego Wave FC is up against Seattle Reign FC, and we’re handing out free tickets. Want in? Enter now and secure your spot in the stands.*

☀️ Sun Kil Moon

Sunday @ House of Blues (7PM)

Mark Kozelek’s Sun Kil Moon project doesn’t do small talk. Just stripped-down instrumentation and hyper-specific storytelling that moves at its own pace. This is your chance to see it live.

🎶 The Winehouse Experience

Sunday @ Music Box (8PM)

Amy’s gone, but the soul lives on. The Winehouse Experience brings her catalog back to life with a killer band and no cheap imitations. It’s raw, real, and fully felt.

LOCALS ONLY

  • San Diego outdoor yoga is officially legal again (yes, that was a thing). A federal court just ruled the city’s ban unconstitutional, so donation-based classes are back at spots like Sunset Cliffs and PB.

  • KEX Fest returns for its 7th year with an all-day lineup of standout bites, curated cocktails, craft beer, and local wine. It all goes down Sunday at Kettner Exchange.
