The Slackers


Upcoming Event

The Slackers

  • Friday, December 12, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
  • Soda Bar, 3615 El Cajon Boulevard, San Diego
  • Age Limit: 21+

More

Formed in New York City in 1991, The Slackers draw inspiration from 1960s ska, rocksteady, and jazz, as well as incorporating influences like soul, dub, and boogaloo. Their long career is partly attributable to near-constant touring, performing up to a hundred shows annually in Europe, the U.S., and South America. Noted for their storytelling lyrics, which cover a range of human emotions and social themes, their high-energy concerts feature a tight rhythm section and a powerful horn section, cementing their reputation as an old-fashioned American road band that prioritizes the live music experience. They’ve released 15 studio albums, several EPs, eight concert albums, and four DVDs, as well as appearing on a number of ska compilations.



 

The All-American Rejects


Upcoming Event

The All-American Rejects

  • Friday, December 12, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
  • Sound, 2260 Jimmy Durante Boulevard, San Diego
  • Age Limit: 18+

More

Formed in Oklahoma circa 1999, The All-American Rejects have made a name for themselves in the power pop-punk/emo marketplace with catchy, anthemic melodies, and relatable lyrics that resonate with a large audience, leading to chart success and multi-platinum sales. They’re best known for early 2000s radio hits such as “Move Along,” “Dirty Little Secret,” “Gives You Hell,” and “Swing Swing.” They’ve sold over 12 million albums worldwide, with their newest due shortly, Sandbox, preceded so far by singles for the title track and “Easy Come, Easy Go.” The Del Mar bill includes Torrance, CA band Joyce Manor, known for its combination of raw emotional lyrics and melodic power-pop hooks.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus


Upcoming Event

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus with special guests at Brick by Brick

  • Saturday, December 13, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
  • Brick by Brick, 1130 Buenos Avenue, San Diego
  • Age Limit: 21+ / $35.23

More

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus were part of the early 2000s emo/post-hardcore scene, specializing in Christian-rock-influenced themes and messages that they developed via non-stop touring. They began earning national attention for their 2006 hit single “Face Down,” featuring lyrics inspired by frontman Ronnie Winter's experiences with domestic violence. The single earned multi-platinum sales status, enabling their debut full-length Don’t You Fake It to achieve RIAA certification. They’re touring in support of their sixth studio full-length, X’s For Eyes, released earlier this year. Opening pop-punk band Morning In May blends modern rock with vintage emo, creating a cinematic sound infused with vivid storytelling lyrics.
