Rodrigo y Gabriela at Belly Up
Nov 10, 2026 TBA Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, 224…

Two acoustic guitars. No band, no backing track, no click. And somehow the room moves harder than it does for acts that haul in a truck of gear. What the records cannot give you is what their right hands are doing. The percussion is played on the body of the guitar, at speed, while the melody keeps running underneath it, and watching that happen a few feet away rearranges your sense of what one instrument can hold. The crowd figures this out almost immediately and then stops talking entirely, which almost never happens in a club this size. Six hundred people is the last size at which a performance this technical still feels like it is happening to you personally instead of at you. Solana Beach, at the Belly Up, tickets through the club. Take the friend who plays a little and has gotten discouraged about it. This will either ruin them or fix 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.

The Airborne Toxic Event
Sep 12, 2026 $81+ Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, 224…

Everyone who was a certain age in the late 2000s has a version of the same memory: a string section swelling, Mikel Jollett half-singing half-confessing about a girl and a bad night, and the specific feeling of a heartbreak that felt like the end of the world and secretly kind of thrilling. That is what The Airborne Toxic Event does — literary, orchestral, unashamedly dramatic rock for people who feel things at full volume. Under the open sky at Humphreys, with a full band and strings and the bay behind them, songs like Sometime Around Midnight stop being nostalgia and become the catharsis they were built to be. This is a room full of people who will know every word and are not embarrassed to mean them. Saturday, September 12, 2026, 7:30pm, on Shelter Island. Come feel twenty-three again, in the best and most bittersweet way, with a few thousand people who never stopped playing that record.

Taj Mahal & Keb' Mo'
Sep 11, 2026 $87+ Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, 224…

The blues is an inheritance, passed hand to hand, and on this stage you get two generations of it at once. Taj Mahal is a living root of American music — six decades of reinventing the form, Grammy shelves groaning, a walking encyclopedia of where these songs came from. Keb' Mo' is the smooth, modern heir, all warmth and craft. Together, as TajMo, they trade verses and grins like family at a reunion, and the whole thing feels less like a concert than a front-porch session that happens to have a few thousand chairs. Under the stars at Humphreys, with the water lapping and the night warm, that easy, joyful, deeply rooted sound is exactly where it belongs. Friday, September 11, 2026, 7:30pm, Shelter Island. Come let two masters remind you that the blues, done right, is not sad at all — it is the sound of surviving with your sense of humor intact.

Michael McDonald at Humphreys
Jul 11, 2026 TBA Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, 224…

The audience sits ten feet from the water, the stage throws the sound out toward the bay, and the bay hands back a warmth no inland venue can manufacture - Humphreys is 1,400 seats on a waterfront, and on a July night it turns a concert into a specific version of a San Diego summer evening made complete. Put Michael McDonald's voice into that air - one of the most distinctive instruments in popular music - and the night stops being a show and becomes a place. 'What a Fool Believes.' 'Takin' It to the Streets.' 'I Keep Forgettin'.' The Doobie Brothers catalog alongside the solo work and the Steely Dan recordings, all live, waterside. The reserved seating at Humphreys is close enough to matter. Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, 2241 Shelter Island Dr, San Diego. July 12th. See humphreysconcerts.com for availability.

Toto: 40 Trips Around the Sun Tour
Jun 27, 2026 From $41 Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, 224…

Humphreys by the Bay on Shelter Island is one of those venues that makes every show feel like a private event — 1,400 seats, water on three sides, the sunset built into the first hour. Toto plays Africa, Rosanna, and Pamela live on June 27 and the crowd knows every word. This is the show your parents and you can both attend with genuine enthusiasm. Tickets from $55 via Humphreys.

Cheap Trick at Humphreys
Apr 24, 2026 From $87 Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, 224…

Humphreys holds 1,400 people. That means you are fourteen rows from the stage when Cheap Trick opens with I Want You to Want Me, and the sound hits the water behind you and comes back doubled. April 24, Shelter Island. Surrender. Dream Police. The Flame. Cheap Trick invented power pop and they still play it like they have something to prove. At this venue, at this scale, this is one of the best concerts San Diego will see all year.

DEVO: Mutate Don't Stagnate Tour
Apr 15, 2026 From $120 Humphreys Concerts by the Bay, 224…

DEVO never played it straight, not once in forty-five years, and they're not about to start. Humphreys by the Bay on April 15 — one of San Diego's most beloved outdoor venues, right on Shelter Island, with the harbor behind the stage and a crowd that remembers when Whip It was a revelation. The Mutate Don't Stagnate tour is exactly what it sounds like: a band that refuses to become a museum piece, playing the catalog that earned them that right.
