Daily Email - Tuesday - 8/12/2025

August in San Diego means sunburns, broken AC, and a constant hunt for parking.

Let’s reroute. We’re sending one winner to Florida for Hulaween — a Halloween weekend of live music under the trees, campfires, and forest dance parties. VIP tickets, $600 for flights, and camping included.

Enter now if you’re ready to disappear for a minute.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Loud, sweaty, and straight from the San Diego local music crowd. Virginia Crime and Blair Gun hit Casbah on 9/5 with a night of homegrown music.

  • We can’t control the tide, but we can hook you up with tickets to Tribal Seeds + The Movement on 9/13 at The Rady Shell. Win your way in.*

  • Time Machine turns NOVA into a sweaty Y2K time warp on 9/12. Don’t come unless you’re ready to scream “Yeah!” like it’s 2004.

  • Andrew Santino headlines Harrah’s Resort SoCal on 1/30 with the kind of reckless stand-up energy that should come with a waiver.

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Veto, Membership, Doll Riot, Ruby G, The California Rangers, Galantis, and more!
