Daily Email - Wednesday - 5/14/2025

May 14, 2025

Wednesday’s got no business feeling this long, so here’s a little adrenaline for your inbox. Billy Idol and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts are teaming up for a night of snarling guitars and punk-rock legacy this September – and we’re giving away tickets. Enter now, and start prepping your best leather-on-denim fit.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • Kali Uchis brings The Sincerely, Tour to Pechanga Arena on 8/24, with San Diego’s own Thee Sacred Souls in tow. It’s dreamy vocals, retro soul, and bilingual bangers in one stacked night.

  • Petco Park turns into an indie time machine on 10/17 when Rilo Kiley reunites and Waxahatchee joins the ride. It’s a night built for denim jackets, and that one friend who still swears The Execution of All Things changed their life. Grab your tickets Friday!

  • Tim Heidecker hits Casbah on 8/22, and no, you won’t fully know what you’re walking into. Music? Yes. Comedy? Sort of. Existential crisis wrapped in dad rock? And somehow it all works.

  • Fingerpicking wizardry meets Aussie charm when Tommy Emmanuel rolls into The Magnolia next April. He doesn’t need a band – just six strings, a stomp box, and a lifetime of jaw-dropping technique. Tickets drop Friday!

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Pixel Grip, The Used, Peach Cooler, Pocket Change, Aidan Bissett, Trapt, Baauer, and more!

WIN STUFF WEDNESDAY

Hey, free concert tickets can’t solve everything, but they sure do help. Good news – it’s #WinStuffWednesday! And a lot of us could probably use a little win right now.

WHENEVER

🪩 LED x Dombresky present: DISCO DOM

Saturday, May 24 @ Beach House (7PM)

Dombresky's Disco Dom set is hitting Mission Beach at sunset. Expect deep grooves, slick edits, and zero fluff. Oh, and the afters? Just announced: we’re going late at Spin.

🍗 BBQ, Blues & Brews

Sunday, May 25 @ Pure Project Vista (1PM)

Memorial Day weekend plans = handled. Head to the Pure Project Vista taproom for a day of smoked meats, cold beer, and live blues that pair perfectly with both. Thumbs Up! Bacon & BBQ is also rolling in to join the party.

🎟️ AAPI Pop-Up Market

Saturday, May 31 @ ​Kilowatt Brewing (1PM)

Lotus Magazine’s AAPI Pop-Up Market is back – bigger, busier, and stocked with reasons to ditch your Amazon cart. Swing by for a day of local makers, bold flavors, handmade everything, and zero shipping fees. Free to enter, open to all!

🍺 2025 San Diego Brew Festival

Saturday, June 12 @ Liberty Station NTC Park (12PM)

San Diego Beer Fest is back for round 14 – because we never learned moderation. NTC Park turns into a hop-soaked playground with craft pours, food trucks, and enough music to justify that third IPA.

📣 Bruno and the Hooligans - Bruno Mars Ultimate Tribute Band

Saturday, July 12 @ The Magnolia (7PM)

This isn’t karaoke night at your cousin’s wedding – Bruno and the Hooligans bring the full Bruno Mars experience, minus the actual Bruno. If “Uptown Funk” lives rent-free in your head, consider this your night out.

Premium Experiences - Your Seats, On Repeat

Summer doesn’t plan itself. North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre is stacking a 2025 lineup worth committing to early – no FOMO, just back-to-back shows that hit. Lock in your season tickets and premium spots now, then spend the year casually “remembering” you already have plans every weekend.*

LOCALS ONLY

  • Whether you’re here for the BBQ, the beach, or just avoiding eye contact with your inbox, we rounded up the best Memorial Day Weekend events in San Diego. Time to make zero plans that involve responsibility.

  • Live Nation’s $30 Ticket to Summer is here, locals. Over 1,000 shows (yes, including San Diego faves) for just $30, all-in. Go wild. On sale 5/21.
