Wild Horses Festival
Upcoming Event
Wild Horses Festival
- Saturday, December 27, 2025, 4 p.m.
- Petco Park, 100 Park Boulevard, San Diego
- Age Limit: Not available
This year’s edition of the Wild Horses Festival features immersive experiences such as art installations, themed lounges (Psychedelic Speakeasy, Flower Power Lounge), communal circles (Divine Feminine/Masculine), scavenger hunts, and ecology-themed workshops (Forest Exploration, etc.), as well as vendors offering food, merch, and on-site services. According to show promoters, “We've always prided ourselves on being a safe, inclusive space where everyone can come together, dance, and express themselves.” Doors for the all-ages event open at 4PM. The bill includes Grammy-winning headliners Mumford & Sons, known for their anthemic banjo-driven folk rock sound that blends traditional instrumentation with stadium-rock energy, resulting in hit singles like “Little Lion Man” and “I Will Wait.” Also appearing will be Lord Huron, Sierra Ferrell, and Lily Meola.
The Record Company
Upcoming Event
The Record Company
- Wednesday, December 31, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
- Belly Up Tavern, 143 S. Cedros Avenue, Solana Beach
- Age Limit: 21+
Founded in Los Angeles circa 2011, The Record Company first earned national notice for their raw brand of gritty, blues-infused rock and roll, highly influenced by blues musicians such as John Lee Hooker. With a sound driven by Chris Vos' soulful vocals and unique instrumentation (slide guitar, distorted bass, and driving drums), the trio's tight, energetic live shows capture the spirit of classic blues and punk. They're recognized for their authentic "real instrument" sound on hits like "Off The Ground," which hit number one on Billboard's Adult Alternative Songs chart. Their dedicated fan base was built from extensive touring, supporting headliners such as B.B. King, Grace Potter, and John Mayer.
