Clouds are rolling in, and San Diego’s collective ego just took a weather-based L. If you need a little sparkle to balance out the gloom, we gotchu. Enter now for a shot to see Beethoven x Beyoncé live – a genre-bending, full-orchestra fever dream where “Crazy in Love” blends with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7. All at the Jacobs Music Center on 2/6.*

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Hip hop heads, this is your Super Bowl. Cypress Hill. Tech N9ne. Bone Thugs. Coyote. 4/18 at Petco Park. You’ll laugh, cry, smoke something (maybe), and walk away with your jaw permanently dropped.

• The Breeders are proof that some bands don’t fade — they ferment. On 8/25, catch the post-punk legends at The Sound, where “Cannonball” and deep cuts alike will ripple through the venue like a time machine to 1993.

• Hell opens on 4/14, and Behemoth is holding the door. The Polish titans of blackened death metal bring The Godless IV Tour to The Observatory. Bring earplugs. Prepare your soul.

• Spiritual Cramp headlines a gritty triple bill with Mizery and Intermission on 2/17 at Casbah – punk, hardcore, and anti-corporate angst all bottled up into one cathartic mess.

• Plus other just announced shows from The Wood Brothers, Primus, Les Claypool's Frog Brigade, The Claypool Lennon Delirium, and more!
