Concerts in San Diego

A crucially important band in the early years of American punk rock, the Dead Boys titled their classic debut album Young Loud and Snotty, and they devoted their career to living up to that slogan. Following the example of the Raw Power-era Iggy & the Stooges, the Dead Boys had an unapologetically raw and ferocious attack, though they delivered their sonic blows with taut precision, and they eagerly challenged their audience with obnoxious lyrics, a bad attitude, and the self-destructive theatrics of lead singer Stiv Bators. See them live at House of Blues San Diego - Voodoo Room this Wednesday!

Orange County's Slater has emerged as a tastemaker and star of the new wave of alternative pop/hip-hop, blending smooth beats with infectious melodies that channel both '90s nostalgia and fresh innovation. Fresh off his acclaimed 2024 album "FM Thoughts," the experimental artist continues to captivate with his signature hypnagogic pop sound that's equal parts seductive club banger and therapeutic night-cruising anthem. See him live at SOMA Sidestage this Saturday!

Legendary French duo AIR returns to Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre at SDSU on Wednesday September 24 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their debut album Moon Safari. Like their recent European tour, which sold out in record time, AIR will be playing their widely celebrated album in its entirety for the first time ever. AIR’s boundary-pushing album has long been praised for its innovative sonics that have inspired countless musicians to think outside the box, so much so that their influence even transcended their own medium.
