May 13, 2025

Tuesday’s giving “mid,” but we’ve got something to pull you through. This Thursday, Tulengua, Nebula and The Cosmos, and Alorah Meraki are taking over Music Box—and we’re giving away a pair of last-minute tickets. Enter now, tell your plus-one later, and pretend you had this locked in all week.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Lisa Lisa’s bringing the heat to Frontwave Arena on 11/8 for the Take You Home 40th Anniversary Tour. Celebrate four decades of freestyle and R&B hits with the queen herself. Old school energy, zero skips.

  • Bloom’s throwing down on 6/28 with a set from the master behind “Harlem Shake.” Baauer’s bringing the kind of bass that rattles ribcages and hijacks your weekend plans. Maybe text your chiropractor in advance.

  • Béla Fleck & the Flecktones return to The Magnolia on 8/24 with their original lineup – yes, that means Victor Wooten and Future Man are in. Since the late ’80s, they’ve redefined what a banjo can do. Grab your tickets!

  • Catch Arlie and Nordista Freeze at the House of Blues on 9/26 – two cult favorites known for turning small stages into full-on fever dreams. It’s indie with personality, pop with a pulse, and your new favorite show waiting to happen.

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Pixel Grip, Groundation, Drug Hunt, Here Lies Man, Helltones, Chorduroy, Próxima Parada, and more!

Tuesday, June 3 @ Liberty Public Market (6PM)

Know someone who needs a partner – or at least a solid PR team? Pitch-A-Friend hits Point Loma with PowerPoint slides, loyal wingpeople, and a crowd that’s here for the plot. Singles night has officially entered its chaotic good era.

🌺 Island Vibe Music Festival 2025

Saturday, June 14 @ ​Embarcadero Marina Park North (12PM)

Island Vibe Music Festival is bringing the spirit of the Pacific. Catch live sets from High Watah, Anuhea, Siaosi, Bo Napoleon, plus cultural dancers from Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. Shop Islander vendors, feast, and celebrate the rhythm, roots, and aloha of the Islands.

🪩 Big Fish Little Fish: The OG Family Rave

Sunday, June 29 @ Quartyard (12PM)

Big Fish Little Fish isn’t your average kiddie disco. It’s a legit Family Rave – real DJs and zero renditions of “Baby Shark.” ELECTRIC BOOGA-ZOO is coming, and yes, the whole crew is invited to boogie. Get dressed up and prepare to dance like bedtime isn’t a thing.

🎷 Smooth Operator – Tribute to Sade

Sunday, July 6 @ Humphreys Backstage Live (6PM)

If Sade’s been your go-to for late-night drives and slow-burn soundtracks, this one’s for you. Smooth Operator pays homage with a vibey set that leans into the mood. Just timeless songs and velvet tones of the Queen herself.

LOCALS ONLY

  • Taco Tuesday just got reckless. El Jefe’s serving up $1 al pastor and carne asada tacos every Tuesday on the boardwalk – no fine print, just a 12-taco cap (probably for public safety). Find them between Draft and Beach House.

  • San Diego lost a real one. Brandon Bronislaus Zanavich, the force behind The Friendly, passed unexpectedly, leaving behind a legacy of greasy brilliance that reshaped local comfort food. You will be missed!
