San Diego Concert Roundup

Who's coming to town and where are they playing? Here's our best bets.

Who's on tour? Are they coming to town? Where are they playing? And when? Lucky for us, San Diego has a lot of quality venues to watch live music - from the large (Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre) to the intimate (the Casbah) to everything in-between. So we have an opportunity to see a wide variety of musical acts and genres (even though some major tours still bypass San Diego for L.A.)

Here's a month-by-month rundown of select bands and artists coming to town.

NOTE: For a list of links to the concert venue sites and their ticket info mentioned here, see the bottom of this page.
