San Diego’s got fall in its bones this week, and while the rest of SoCal pretends it’s sweater weather, we’re out here earning it. Which brings us to today’s gift: a sleigh ride of a giveaway for Jinkx & DeLa’s Holiday Show. These two are Christmas chaos in wigs—think singing, dancing, gay time loops, and enough glitter to kill a Victorian child. Enter to win!

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Matt Pryor (of The Get Up Kids fame) is bringing his acoustic set to Soda Bar. Expect heartfelt emo bangers, deep cuts, and probably a sad story about a hotel room. 2/27, and yes — he’ll definitely play “Holiday.”

• Old-school soul. Horns. Sequins. Memphis Soul Revue plays like your uncle’s record collection grew legs and joined a Vegas residency. Humphrey’s Backstage Live hosts this high-gloss throwback on 11/21.

• Del Water Gap is bringing their full-band indie-pop heartbreak to SOMA on 2/20. Come for the tender lyrics, stay for the surprise bangers hiding behind softboy energy.

• New York’s genre-bending guitar wizards, City of the Sun, are landing in San Diego on 1/19. Bring a date. Or don’t. Either way, your jaw’s hitting the floor.

• Plus, other just-announced shows from The Rural Alberta Advantage, Fly Anakin, Quelle Chris, Maxo, Pat Metheny, and more!
