San Diego, did anyone else wake up feeling like the universe was trying to send a message? Eclipse. New moon. Year of the Horse galloping in hot. Something’s shifting, and frankly, we’re leaning into it. Celebrate this cosmic cocktail with a shot at free tickets to Taylor Dayne at Viejas Arena on 2/28. It’s giving “Tell It to My Heart” in the middle of Mercury retrograde. And honestly, we love that for you.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• J. Cole just announced The Fall-Off Tour, hitting Viejas Arena on 9/9 — and yes, it’s named after the mythical album he’s teased for years. This might be your one shot to hear deep cuts, classic bars, and unreleased stuff live.

• Jay Electronica is coming. That’s already big news. But the fact that he’s playing Quartyard on 4/5 as part of a nineteen-day-only tour? Legendary. Real ones will be there. Everyone else will pretend they were.

• Two of the most chaotic, fuzzed-out forces in heavy music — Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol and American Sharks — are crashing into Casbah on 4/25. It’s going to be loud.

• San Diego, get ready to light one up — Curren$Y is live at Music Box on April 3. His catalog’s deep, the setlist’s unpredictable, and the crowd? Chill as hell. This is your pre-summer reset.

• Plus other just announced shows from Allah-Las, Los Lobos, The English Beat, Kevin Morby, Liam Kazar, and more!
