Hope you enjoyed your bonus summer, San Diego — the fake heat wave is packing up, and our sweaters are crawling out of hiding. Good news: just because the forecast's cooling off doesn’t mean your week has to. We’ve got a chance to win AEW Collision tickets for 2/21 at Frontwave Arena.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• It’s the 30th annual Symphony at Salk, which means three decades of bringing orchestral magic to one of the most visually stunning venues in the country. On 8/15, grab your finest picnic wine and prep for a live concert at the Salk Institute.

• If your playlist includes Khruangbin, Mild High Club, or early MGMT, don’t sleep on Dumbo Gets Mad. Catch them at Soda Bar on 4/25, where they’ll be melting brains in a room that holds 200 people max.

• Your Friday plans? Settled. Los Yesterdays, The McCharmlys, and San Diego City Soul DJs are turning Music Box into a swoon factory. Highly recommended for lovers and loners alike.

• Lo-fi legends Teen Suicide are back on 6/4 at SOMA. Expect bedroom pop turned stage scream therapy, and the kind of emotional release that leaves you lighter. Honestly? Feels like a group hug with feedback.

• Plus other just announced shows from Metric, Broken Social Scene, Stars, Yacht Rock, Little Feat, Serengeti, and more!

WHENEVER

LOCALS ONLY

• San Diego’s first all-Celiac-safe food market pops up this Sunday at 3366 Adams Ave – and it’s bringing serious flavor. Bring your appetite and your freezer bags.
