Read excerpt
The San Diego Brewers Guild’s flagship beer festival is returning to downtown’s Broadway Pier, where it was last held in 2017.

Muse blends new music, fan favorites at amped-up Chula Vista show (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Few legacy bands can get away with performing five songs from their newest album without disappointing concertgoers. Yet, that’s exactly what Muse did when the English power trio brought “The Wow! Signal Tour” to North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in Chula Vista. Typically, hearing “And here’s a new one” from the stage cues a bathroom break, but not only were fans not disappointed, they cheered because the new songs held their own beside the band’s best material.

Read excerpt
San Diego indie-pop trio almost monday has been riding a wave of success since its 2024 debut album, “DIVE” launched the No. 1 alternative radio hit “can’t slow down.” But not long ago, the band was trying to make a name for itself by booking gigs in the back of an Encinitas surf shop. Growing up together in the beach community, vocalist Dawson Daugherty and bassist Luke Fabry have been inseparable since childhood. “Every single chapter of our life, we’ve been intertwined together,” Daugherty sa
