Gang Of Four
Formed in 1976 near South London, influential punk icons Gang Of Four has split and reformed many times, with numerous lineup changes. At one point around 2020, guitarist Andy Gill was the sole original member, before he died, a suspected early Covid victim. Founding singer Jon King and original drummer Hugo Burnham have reformed the band with its latterday bassist Sara Lee and Slint guitarist Dave Pajo for what’s being billed as a farewell tour, with dates scheduled in the US, Canada, London, Dublin, and Paris.

The War and Treaty
The War and Treaty is a husband and wife duo featuring singer-songwriters Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter. Their debut studio album Healing Tide led to critical acclaim, and they earned online traction with soulful singles such as “Set My Soul On Fire,” as well as being featured on Zach Bryan’s hit 2023 single “Hey Driver.” Their music blends Americana with country, R&B, folk, and gospel spirituals which lend a revival-like atmosphere to live performances. They’re touring in support of a new album released in February, Plus One.

Fiesta Del Sol
Taking place in Solana Beach over two days, Fiesta Del Sol is a free music, art, and food festival featuring an arts & crafts fair, a Kids Zone, a global food court, and a beer and wine garden. Over a dozen bands are scheduled to perform, with headliners to include Z-Trip, The White Buffalo, Missing Persons, and the Aggrolites. Local acts include Sullvn, who just released a single called “Rooftop,” produced and co-written by Rome Rameriez (Sublime with Rome, Dirty Heads) during a writing trip in Nashville, as well as island reggae outfit Through the Roots, kids’ music duo Hullabaloo, and Tom Petty tribute band the Pettybreakers.
