Daily Email - Tuesday - 7/22/2025

July 22, 2025

The sun’s been melting your brain for weeks. You deserve one (1) cultured night out where someone might use the word “encaustic” in conversation.

Win tix to the ArtWalk Preview pARTy — live music, good food, and art you can actually afford to say you love.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • If you like your heartbreak fuzzy and your guitars louder than your feelings, this one’s for you. Colleen Green and Rozwell Kid hit Whistle Stop on 8/1.

  • Taylor Tomlinson added another show because we’re all chronically unwell and desperate to laugh about it. She’s doing 3 sets at San Diego Civic Theatre (8/8–8/9). Enter to win tickets to her 8/9 show!*

  • If your Spotify Wrapped had “melodic dubstep” and “emotional damage” side by side — this one’s for you. William Black, 8/29 at NOVA.

  • Before slow jams had synths or hashtags, there was The Intruders. 10/4 at Sycuan. A show for lovers only.

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Panopticon, Nö Class, Echoes, DJ Sargent J, Bounce Pocket, Helena Holleran Trio, and more!

SAN DIEGO EVENTS UNDER $20

Good news: You don’t need a three-figure ticket or a VIP wristband to have a damn good time in San Diego. We pulled together a list of events that’ll cost you less than $20. Get after it.

IN THE FUTURE

⚾️ Party in the Park: CocktailFest | Padres vs. Red Sox

Friday, August 8 @ Gallagher Square (4:30PM)

Every Friday home game turns into a pregame party with live music, cheap drinks, and those City Connect fits. CocktailFest takes over Gallagher Square when gates open, so show up early and bring some Friar Funds.

🪩 Gimme Gimme Disco

Friday, August 15 @ House of Blues (9PM)

Gimme Gimme Disco is the dance party for anyone who’s ever screamed “Dancing Queen” with zero shame. Throw on something shiny and lose it to the best of the ‘70s and beyond.

🤠 Sam Barber - North America Tour

Saturday, August 23 @ Humphrey’s Concerts (7:30PM)

The kind of artist you catch once and start recommending to everyone. Sam Barber’s on the rise, and this tour stop might be the last time you see him somewhere this small.

🥗 Oceanside Vegan Food Festival

Saturday, August 23 @ Downtown Oceanside (11AM)

North County’s biggest vegan fest is back with over 70 vendors slinging everything from sushi to gyros to cannolis. Oceanside Vegan Food Festival takes over downtown with DJs, local goods, and dogs you can adopt.

🏄 Nissan Super Girl Surf Pro – Music & Surf Festival

Friday, September 19 - Sunday, September 21 @ Junior Seau Oceanside Pier Amphitheatre (7AM)

Pro surfers, free concerts, an all-female DJ comp, and a beach full of people who showed up for the vibes. Super Girl Surf Pro is everything a festival should be — bold, packed, and unapologetically fun.

WIN: Dylan Marlowe Tickets + Staycation

Dylan Marlowe’s rolling into Sycuan this Thursday — and we’re hooking one winner up with the full night out. Tickets, dinner for two, and an overnight stay so you can stumble upstairs like a star.*

LOCALS ONLY

  • King tides are back in La Jolla — high tonight at 8:02 pm, low at 2:43 am. The ocean drama continues overnight through 7/25. Time to explore some tidepools.

  • The city is floating a $2.50/hr fee for street parking in Balboa Park, plus paid lots with sliding rates. Nothing’s final yet, but the good old days might be numbered.
