Daily Email - Wednesday - 6/17/2025

June 18, 2025

Group chats will flake, but a good outfit + a roller rink + the bay at golden hour? That’s a plan worth committing to. Downtown Skate By The Bay opens 6/27 at the Marriott Marquis, and we’re giving away tickets to opening day. Enter to win and roll up with your besties.

JUST ANNOUNCED

  • From Raider Klan roots to solo heat, Xavier Wulf has carved out a lane that’s all his. He rolls through House of Blues on 12/2. Tickets go live Friday!

  • What do you get when you cross metal covers with a full mariachi band? Apparently, one of the most unexpectedly solid live shows you’ll see all summer. Catch Metalachi on 8/15 at Music Box to witness the mashup live.

  • Theo Von brings Return of the Rat to Frontwave Arena on 8/17. It’s stand-up meets stream-of-consciousness storytelling, filtered through a Louisiana drawl and a brain that shouldn’t make sense, but somehow does. Grab your tix Friday.

  • Freedom Fest doesn’t end at sunset. Chippy Nonstop takes over Bloom on 7/5 for the official afterparty. Grab your tickets to keep the party going all night long.

  • Plus, other just-announced shows from Patterson Hood, Craig Finn, Guerilla Toss, Jonas Brothers, Boys Like Girls, Twenty One Pilots, and more!

WIN STUFF WEDNESDAY

Midweek slump? Not here. Our giveaways page is loaded with free tickets, exclusive events, and plans that’ll make your group chat feel like you actually do cool stuff. We update it constantly, so it's less “maybe later” and more “already entered.”

Hot tip: sharing gets you extra entries. Sharing is also caring. Just saying.

WHENEVER

🎥 Movies at Memorial Series: Selena

Saturday, July 12 @ Memorial Park (7PM)

Catch Selena on the big screen where it belongs: outdoors and absolutely free. It’s part concert, part heartbreak, all iconic. Come early, sing loudly, and try not to sob when “Dreaming of You” hits.

🎸 Badfish - a Tribute to Sublime, Hazmatt

Thursday, July 24 @ Belly Up (8PM)

If you know all the words to “Santeria” without trying, this show’s already calling. Badfish brings Sublime’s catalog back to life, and Hazmatt kicks it off. The tributes of all tributes.

🔥 Mr. Symphonic: Shaggy with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra

Friday, August 1 @ The Rady Shell (7:30PM)

Mr. Lover Lover meets Maestro. Shaggy teams up with the San Diego Symphony for a one-night orchestral reinvention of his greatest hits. Classical crossover isn’t supposed to sound this cool, but here we are.

🌮 Tacos & Tequila Festival

Saturday, August 9 @ Del Mar Thoroughbred Club (7PM)

Pairing tequila with tacos isn’t new, but doing it trackside with some of the city’s best taqueros? That’s a win. Sample spirits, meet brand reps, and lean fully into your “I’m a tequila person now” era at the Tacos & Tequila Festival.

🏴‍☠️ BOARDED! A New Pirate Adventure

Saturday, July 12 @ Maritime Museum (10:30AM)

Climb aboard the San Salvador for BOARDED! An immersive pirate show where you're not just watching, you're part of the crew. Expect sword fighting, fake jail time, and exactly zero moments of peace and quiet.
