About

A handful of people, at most, can say they taught the sound of modern music to the men we now call legends — and Buddy Guy is one of them. He showed Hendrix and Clapton and Stevie Ray what an electric guitar could scream; he carried Chicago's West Side blues out of the clubs and into history. Now he is turning ninety, and he is spending part of that birthday on a stage by the water in San Diego, still playing, still one of the most electrifying live performers alive. This is not nostalgia — it is a chance to stand in a room with a living root of everything, while there is still time. The Rady Shell, with the bay behind the stage and the city lights around it, is the right place to witness it. Come if you love the blues — or love the people the blues made possible. September 11, 2026, The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, 222 Marina Park Way, San Diego.

Aug 23, 2026 The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, 222…

Half the room came for the man from the movies and leaves having fallen for the piano player. Something delights in watching a face you associate with dinosaurs and eccentric monologues sit down at a jazz piano and turn out to genuinely, unfussily swing. Jeff Goldblum has been playing standards on quiet Monday nights for decades, and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra is a real band, loose and warm and funnier than it has any right to be. He'll tell a rambling story, take a request, tease the crowd, then drop into a ballad that shuts the whole lawn up. It's the rare night where the jazz obsessive who owns the vinyl and the person who just wanted to see a celebrity end up elbow to elbow, both grinning like idiots. He always ends up chatting with the front row between numbers. Bring someone who swears they don't like jazz and watch them quietly cave over the course of one warm, slightly ridiculous evening on the downtown bayfront.

"Weird Al" Yankovic: Bigger & Weirder 2026 Tour

Sep 16, 2026 The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, 222…

For a very specific kind of kid — the one who taped the radio, who read the liner notes, who found the whole pop-culture machine a little absurd and loved it anyway — Weird Al was the first artist who felt like he was in on the joke with you. Four decades later he is the best-selling comedy recording artist in history, a five-time Grammy winner, and somehow still the funniest, most joyful, most absurdly over-produced show you can see. The Bigger & Weirder Tour brings the full multimedia spectacle — the costume changes, the accordion, the parodies of everyone from Michael Jackson to Taylor Swift, plus fan favorites never played live before — to the Rady Shell on the San Diego bay. Bring the kid you were and the kids you have. The lifelong Al fans who can recite ‘Amish Paradise’ word for word already know. September 16, 2026, The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, 222 Marina Park Way, San Diego.

Mariachi USA Festival

Sep 26, 2026 $35+ The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, 222…

The moment a full mariachi hits that first blast of trumpet and violin, something in the chest goes tight and warm at once. Mariachi USA is the longest-running and most revered mariachi event in the world, and its San Diego edition brings four nonstop hours of puro mariachi, ballet folklorico, and a fireworks finale to the Rady Shell on the downtown waterfront. This is culture as celebration, generations of families together on a warm September night, the bay glittering behind the stage. Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, San Diego. Bring your parents, bring your kids, wear something that lets you dance in your seat, and come feel the goosebumps only live mariachi can raise. Whether it is in your blood or brand new to you, this one moves you.

You found your people.

They didn't know each other before Falkor either.
