Pop goes San Diego: Trey Songz, The Hives, Laufey
Live music, September 20-24, 2025
Still from Laufey's "From the Start."
Trey Songz
Upcoming Event
Trey Songz
- Saturday, September 20, 2025, 9 p.m.
- Nova SD, 454 Sixth Avenue, San Diego
- Age Limit: Not available
Chart-topping singer, songwriter, and occasional actor Trey Songz rose to prominence in the mid-2000s, signing with Atlantic Records after being discovered by producer Troy Taylor. After his debut full-length I Gotta Make It dropped in 2005, he went on to achieve mainstream success with albums such as Ready and Trey Day. Known for tracks like “Say Aah” (a top-ten hit), “Bottoms Up” featuring Nicki Minaj (which reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100), “Na Na,” “Slow Motion,” and “Heart Attack,” his albums have achieved significant chart success, with Chapter V reaching the number-one slot on the Billboard 200.
The Hives
Upcoming Event
The Hives
- Monday, September 22, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
- Sound, 2260 Jimmy Durante Boulevard, San Diego
- Age Limit: 18+
The Hives are known for their energetic and theatrical live performances, their signature matching black-and-white tuxedo outfits, and their role in the early 2000s garage rock revival. The Swedish band earned global recognition with their second album, Veni Vidi Vicious, landing hits on rock radio such as “Hate to Say I Told You So,” “Tick Tock Boom,” and “Walk Idiot Walk.” Led by frontman Pelle Almqvist, the group is celebrated for their raw, joyful punk sound and their long-standing, consistent lineup since their formation in 1993. After a decade-long hiatus from recording new music, they released a new album in 2023, The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons.
Laufey
Upcoming Event
Laufey and Suki Waterhouse
- Wednesday, September 24, 2025, 7:30 p.m.
- Pechanga Arena San Diego, 3500 Sports Arena Boulevard, San Diego
- Age Limit: Not available
Grammy- winning Icelandic-Chinese artist, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Laufey plays the piano, cello, and guitar, often accompanying her own singing. Her music blends traditional jazz with modern pop, creating a sound that appeals to a broad audience, including (even especially) younger listeners. She first earned widespread notice with her debut album Everything I Know About Love. A 2023 follow-up called Bewitched, which included the popular single “From the Start,” earned her a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. Her newest full-length, A Matter of Time, dropped in August, preceded by a single for “Tough Luck.” This stop on Laufey’s A Matter of Time Tour features an opening set from British model-turned-indie-pop-musician Suki Waterhouse.
