Lee Juck at Pechanga

Sep 26, 2026 $55+ Pechanga Resort Casino, 45000 Pech…

For anyone who grew up on Korean rock, Lee Juck is not a nostalgia act -- he is closer to scripture. The man behind Panic and three decades of the most literate songwriting in Korean music almost never tours the States, which is exactly why a Saturday night in Temecula for this show is the kind of thing Korean-American families three hours away will carpool for. He is the songwriter other Korean songwriters quote. Expect a quieter, wordier, more devastating set than the arena K-pop machine trained you to expect -- just a guitar, that voice, and lyrics people have tattooed on themselves. It is a fifteen-minute drive up the 15 for most of the valley and a genuine rarity anywhere in America. If you know, you already know. If you do not, come find out why a room full of grown adults will be crying.

LA Galaxy vs Colorado Rapids at Dignity Health Sports Park

Sep 26, 2026 18400 Avalon Blvd, Carson, CA 90746

By the last weekend of September, a single point is the difference between a bye and a road trip, and everybody in the stands is doing that math in real time instead of watching the ball. Colorado has quietly become one of the more consistent sides in the conference, which is exactly why a fixture that looks routine on the schedule is not. The building feels different this late — sharper, quieter between chances, the crowd reading the clock in a way nobody bothers with in June. For a fan base that has watched this club lift five trophies, September is not about competing. It is about closing. Three points here keeps the good version of the season available. Dropping them starts a conversation nobody in Carson wants to have in October. Bring the friend who only turns up for playoff games. Tell them this is the night the playoff games get decided.

Billy Strings — Kia Forum, Los Angeles

Sep 26, 2026 Kia Forum, 3900 W Manchester Blvd,…

Somebody's fingers are bleeding and nobody in the building wants the set to end. That is the whole review. Billy Strings did not modernize bluegrass. He played it so hard and so honestly that the walls between traditions stopped being load-bearing. Flat-picking at a speed that makes people laugh out loud in disbelief. Jams that wander into country Doc Watson never mapped and would have gone along with anyway. This date follows a sold-out night across town, which is the only sales figure worth quoting. An arena is a strange room for one acoustic guitar and he keeps proving otherwise. Inglewood, doors in the early evening, seats through the usual channels. If you have ever tried and failed to explain why a guy with an acoustic guitar is the most exciting live act in America right now, stop explaining. Buy them a seat and let the music handle the rest.

My Hero Academia in Concert

Sep 26, 2026 Jacobs Music Center, 750 B St, San…

The first time the strings hit the You Say Run motif in a room where you can feel the bass in your ribs, you're going to understand something the streaming version never told you — that Yuki Hayashi wrote music that was always meant to be physical. My Hero Academia in Concert arrives at Jacobs Music Center with a 15-piece live band performing the complete score across all eight seasons, synchronized to projected anime sequences on screen. San Diego Symphony's hall was built for sound that fills a room and stays in your chest, and Hayashi's compositions — the triumphant brass of All Might's theme, the fragile piano lines underneath Shoto's backstory, the full-orchestra crescendo when Deku figures out what his hands are actually for — were always orchestral music wearing a different costume. Every watch party you've ever been to played the show on a screen. This one plays the music in the air between you and the screen, performed by people who are breathing the same tempo. The crowd will be half cosplay, half people who came because someone told them this was the one not to miss. Both groups will be right. Saturday, September 26, 2026 at 7:30 PM. Jacobs Music Center, 750 B St, San Diego, CA 92101. Tickets available via AXS.

Get the Led Out

Sep 26, 2026 $45+ Cerritos Center for the Performing…

There are Led Zeppelin tribute bands, and then there's Get the Led Out, the American Led Zeppelin, a six-piece so obsessive about recreating the studio recordings note-for-note that even die-hards leave stunned. This isn't a costume act; it's a loving, forensic reconstruction of the mightiest catalog in rock, from the acoustic delicacy of Going to California to the full thunder of Kashmir. Saturday, September 26, 2026, Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts. Come for Whole Lotta Love played the way it sounds in your memory, bring the friend who still argues Zeppelin is the greatest band ever, and let a room full of believers take you back. If you never got to see the real thing, this is the closest you'll come. Turn it up and give yourself over.

Padres Hispanic Heritage Weekend — Los Tucanes de Tijuana Postgame Concert

Sep 27, 2026 Petco Park, 100 Park Blvd, San Die…

The accordion does not wait for the ninth inning. Somewhere between the last out and the walk to the parking structure, the same grass you just watched a ballgame on turns into something your grandfather would recognize — the opening bars of a corrido drifting over the outfield, thousands of people who came for baseball singing words they learned before they learned English. That is how the Sunday of Hispanic Heritage Weekend ends at Petco. Los Tucanes de Tijuana, the band that turned the sound of the border into stadium music, playing free in Gallagher Square after the Padres and the Diamondbacks finish in the afternoon. For families who have always lived in two countries at once, this is not a ballpark promotion. It is a homecoming with a box score. One catch worth knowing: the concert runs on the Sunday theme package. A regular seat will not get you in, and neither will the Friday or Saturday version. Send it to your tío. He already knows every word.

Ponte Winery 24th Annual Grape Stomp 2026 — Temecula

Sep 27, 2026 Ponte Winery, 35053 Rancho Califor…

Standing barefoot in a barrel of grapes while someone you came with shouts instructions that do not help. The juice runs between your toes. The sun is going down over the vineyard. You are terrible at this and you do not care. Ponte Winery's Annual Grape Stomp has been running for 24 years because the formula never needs changing — arrive at 4, start with wine and sangria from the new vintage, eat an antipasto spread and a dinner buffet (braised short ribs, stuffed chicken, harvest salad), then climb into the barrel and find out who in your group has competitive instincts they never knew about. A live band plays. Prizes go to the stompers. The dancing that follows is the part nobody plans. Ponte is one of the estates that made Temecula Wine Country a real destination, and the grape stomp is its annual celebration of the harvest — equal parts agricultural tradition, dinner party, and barely contained chaos. Sunday, September 27, 2026. 4–9 PM. Ponte Winery, 35053 Rancho California Rd, Temecula, CA 92591. $160 general admission, $144 wine club. Tickets at pontewinery.com.

Few sights move you like a full symphony orchestra playing outdoors as the sun sets over a vineyard, and that is exactly what the Temecula Valley Symphony delivers with Symphony All'aperto, an open-air evening of sweeping classical music set among the vines of Europa Village. It is proof that the Temecula Valley has grown into a genuine cultural destination, not just a wine stop. Sunday, September 27, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., at Europa Village in Temecula. Bring a low chair, a bottle, and someone you love, and let live orchestral music drift across the wine country dusk. Dress up a little or don't. This is a surprisingly moving, genuinely special night happening minutes from home. Bring the friend who thinks classical music is stuffy and watch a vineyard sunset change their mind. Come be swept away.

The Phil Collins Story

Sep 27, 2026 $45+ Cerritos Center for the Performing…

Few catalogs are as secretly universal as Phil Collins': the drummer-turned-everyman whose Genesis epics and solo heartbreakers have been quietly living in everyone's head since the 1980s. The Phil Collins Story is a full-band tribute that honors all of it, from the drum-fill heard round the world in In the Air Tonight to the sunny ache of Against All Odds and the Motown swing of You Can't Hurry Love. Sunday, September 27, 2026, Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts. Come for the songs you forgot you loved until the first note reminded you, bring the parent who wore out the vinyl, and prepare to be surprised by how many words you know. This is comfort-food nostalgia performed with real musicianship. Come feel it coming in the air tonight.

Sin Bandera: Escenas US Tour — Kia Forum, Los Angeles

Sep 27, 2026 Kia Forum, 3900 W Manchester Blvd,…

Your mom played 'Entra en Mi Vida' on repeat during road trips and you pretended it was embarrassing. Then one night, years later, the song came on in a bar and you felt everything she was trying to tell you. The embarrassment was never about the music. It was about how deeply it worked. Sin Bandera brings the Escenas US Tour to the Kia Forum on September 27 at 8 PM. Leonel García and Noel Schajris — the duo that soundtracked an entire generation's first heartbreak in Spanish — are filling arenas again because some songs don't expire. They settle deeper with age. Tickets from $88. The setlist will hit every nerve you forgot was exposed. The couple next to you will be holding hands and crying. Someone behind you will be singing every word with their eyes closed. You will be one of them before the third song. This show is the text message you send your hermana at 11 PM: 'Ven conmigo. No te lo puedes perder.'

One man spent thirty-three years building seventeen interlocking towers out of steel, cement, and whatever he collected on walks through his own neighborhood -- and every August, for nearly seventy years running, jazz has played at their base. The Watts Towers Jazz Festival is one of the oldest free jazz festivals in Los Angeles, held right at the foot of Simon Rodia's hand-built masterpiece in Watts since 1958. Two days every August of jazz, blues, and R&B on an outdoor stage within view of the towers, with the Watts Towers Arts Center running visual art and community programming alongside. Free admission. The South LA community that has kept this going for nearly seven decades turns out in full. Bring the friend who thinks nothing this good stays free. This is not a festival that needs more exposure -- it's one that's been here long enough to know exactly who it's for, and showing up for the first time feels like arriving late to a very good party. Simon Rodia State Historic Park, Watts.

Sleep at The Wiltern

Sep 28, 2026 The Wiltern, 3790 Wilshire Blvd, L…

A band once recorded a single hour-long song about smoking weed and marching across a desert, and meant every crushing minute of it. To the doom faithful that record is not a punchline. It is scripture, and they can tell you exactly where they were the first time they made it all the way through. What happens in the room is closer to a low-frequency religious service than a concert. Riffs slow and enormous enough to rearrange your ribcage. A wall of amps treated like an altar. Several hundred people who came specifically to worship the same tone and will not be hurried. The only question the believers ask beforehand is whether tonight is a night they play Dopesmoker in full. Inside an art-deco room on Wilshire, the answer barely matters. The pilgrimage was always the point. Bring the friend who thinks slow means boring. Stand near the front and let the building explain it to them.

Robert Plant with Saving Grace

Sep 28, 2026 $100+ Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, 224…

The voice is older now, weathered down from the banshee wail that once rode over Led Zeppelin's thunder — and somehow that makes it land deeper. What Robert Plant is chasing these days is quieter and stranger: Saving Grace, a band steeped in Appalachian gospel, English folk, and desert blues, trading arena bombast for something closer to a seance. Under the open sky at Humphreys, with the boats knocking gently in the marina and the bay air coming off the water, that hushed, haunted sound has room to breathe. He could coast on the old catalog forever; instead he keeps walking toward the unfamiliar, and asking you to follow. Suzi Dian shares the vocals, Rosie Flores opens. For anyone who ever wore out a Zeppelin record, this is not nostalgia — it is watching a restless artist still refuse to stand still at seventy-eight. Monday, September 28, 2026, 7:30pm, Humphreys Concerts by the Bay. Go witness what a legend does when he has nothing left to prove and keeps searching anyway.

Lauren Halsey’s emajendat with Erykah Badu — Hollywood Bowl

Sep 29, 2026 Hollywood Bowl, 2301 N Highland Av…

Somebody takes a space that was never built with you in mind and turns it into a living room. There is a feeling that produces, and it is the entire proposition here. Lauren Halsey grew up in South Central making sculpture out of what the neighborhood left behind: hair salon signs, corner store receipts, the visual language of blocks that do not get gallery shows. Now she takes the whole Bowl. Not just the stage. The grounds, the walkways, the air. Erykah Badu headlines. DJ Pee .Wee, which is Anderson .Paak when he is behind the decks instead of in front of them, opens alongside the Charles Gaines Collective with Black Nile. But music is only one layer. Activations open earlier: miniature golf, ping-pong, roller skating, airbrush stations, the Bowl reassembled as a block party with better acoustics. Halsey calls it emajendat, and the staging is maximalist and technicolor and built to feel like stepping inside one of her pieces. Bring a picnic and the people who will understand why this matters.

Every so often a Broadway show comes along that people describe not as good but as insane in the best possible way, and Oh, Mary! is that show right now: Cole Escola's gleefully unhinged, historically irresponsible comedy about a boozy, thwarted-cabaret-star Mary Todd Lincoln that became the most talked-about ticket in New York. Watching it in a full house is closer to a rock concert than a history lesson, the kind of theater that leaves strangers gasping and cackling at each other between scenes. The touring production hits the San Diego Civic Theatre September 29 through October 4, 2026. Come for one of the funniest things to happen to American theater in years, bring the friend with the darkest sense of humor, and be able to say you saw it when it finally came to San Diego. Warning: you will quote it for weeks.

Wasteland Weekend 2026 — California City, CA

Sep 30 – Oct 4, 2026 California City, CA 93505

No street clothes are permitted on the grounds. Your costume is your admission — hand-fabricated from scratch, no exceptions — and everyone in the Mojave Desert for five days has made the same commitment. Wasteland Weekend is North America’s largest post-apocalyptic festival: 4,000 to 5,000 people who built a shared world in the California desert and return to it every September. Nothing in American festival culture matches Wasteland Weekend's commitment to world-building. Every car in the lot has been modified. Every vendor stall is in character. The live music skews industrial, metal, tribal bass, and anything that sounds like a civilization ending and beginning simultaneously. Art cars drive across the lakebed at sunset while fire performers work the main stage area. The people who attend are not performing for a passive audience — they are the audience and the performance simultaneously. The dust, the scale, and the collective commitment produce something that people who have attended once spend years trying to describe accurately to people who have not. Wasteland Weekend is worth attending if you want to experience what happens when a community invests years of craft in a shared fiction. The costume requirement is the entry fee that filters for commitment — the people who show up in full welded-metal battle armor they have been building since last October are categorically different from standard festival-goers. If you have never made a costume in your life, this is not a passive spectator experience. If you have been waiting for an environment that rewards making something entirely impractical: this is it. The Mojave Desert in September averages 90 degrees Fahrenheit by day and 55 degrees at night. Weekend passes range from $250-350 for full access depending on when you purchase. Costumes are mandatory on the event grounds; street clothes are permitted only in parking and camping areas. Full on-site camping is available in designated post-apocalyptic camp areas — RV, tent, and clan-style group setups all operate. The nearest large cities are Bakersfield (90 minutes northwest) and Lancaster (40 minutes southwest). Bring desert survival gear: shade canopies, electrolytes, cooling towels. Build your costume at home. Early bird tickets sell out months in advance. Wasteland Weekend is the American festival that comes closest to what Burning Man originally described — a temporary city where every inhabitant is simultaneously a creator and a participant. The post-apocalyptic aesthetic is the frame, but the practice underneath is identical: arrive with what you made, participate fully, leave nothing but tracks in the desert. September in the Mojave.

Bruno Mars — The Romantic Tour at SoFi Stadium

Sep 30, 2026 SoFi Stadium, 1001 Stadium Drive, …

There are shows you attend and there are shows some part of you refuses to die without having attended. This is the second kind, and everyone who has been to one tells you so in the same slightly embarrassed voice. If you have somehow never seen Bruno Mars perform, understand that he is widely considered the best live performer of his generation, and that the case rests entirely on things a recording cannot carry: the band, the choreography, the joy coming off the stage in visible waves. The Romantic Tour brings that to SoFi around a new album, at stadium scale, on one of the largest stages in Los Angeles. Uptown Funk. 24K Magic. Leave the Door Open. More than a decade of songs that have quietly soundtracked weddings, road trips, and most people's best nights out. Take the train and skip the lot entirely. Then take whoever you would want standing beside you when the whole stadium sings the chorus back.

Kids Free San Diego — October 2026

Oct 1, 2026 Multiple Venues, 1549 El Prado, Sa…

A seven-year-old looks into a telescope eyepiece and goes completely silent for the first time in their life. That is the version of October being offered here, and it costs you nothing extra. For the whole month, more than a hundred museums, attractions and historic sites across the county let every kid twelve and under in free with a paying adult. The headliners are all on the list, the zoo and the safari park and the Midway and Belmont Park, but locals know the real finds are elsewhere: the museum in Carlsbad where your kid picks up a theremin and plays it badly and beautifully, the aquarium tide pools that turn a five-year-old into a marine biologist for an afternoon, the folk art collection that quietly teaches a nine-year-old that beauty does not require a screen. All month, all over the county, so you can spread it across weekends instead of stampeding. This is not a discount. It is a city behaving as though it were built for families.

There's more here for you.
