Pop goes San Diego: Jonah Kagen, Nine Inch Nails, Umphrey's McGee
Live music, March 7-10, 2026
Still from Tron: Ares
Jonah Kagen
Upcoming Event
Jonah Kagen
- Saturday, March 7, 2026, 7:30 p.m.
- Belly Up Tavern, 143 S. Cedros Avenue, Solana Beach
- Age Limit: 21+
Georgia-born singer-songwriter Jonah Kagen has earned hundreds of millions of global streams with his friendly blend of acoustic folk, Americana, pop rock, and guitar-driven storytelling. The 26 year-old first gained popularity for his viral hit "Broken" and the single "God Needs a Devil," which became an Alternative Airplay chart-topper and was named one of Spotify's Best Pop Songs of 2024. A multi-instrumentalist known to produce his music while traveling in an Airstream trailer, he’s a skilled guitarist who began playing at a young age, influenced by technical players like Andy McKee. In addition to releasing EPs like The Roads and Black Dress, he has shared the stage with artists such as Phillip Phillips, Maisie Peters, and Anson Seabra. He’s currently touring in support of his 2025 album Sunflowers and Leather.
Nine Inch Nails
Upcoming Event
Nine Inch Nails
- Monday, March 9, 2026, 7:30 p.m.
- Pechanga Arena San Diego, 3500 Sports Arena Boulevard, San Diego
- Age Limit: Not available
In the 1990s, Nine Inch Nails was the face of industrial rock, with its harsh electronic beats, synthesizers, and heavy metal, primarily driven by mastermind Trent Reznor. As the sole official member for most of its history, Reznor writes, produces, and plays most instruments, creating a deeply personal, often dark and angsty sound. Best known for alt-radio hits like “Closer,” “Head Like a Hole,” and “Hurt” (famously re-imagined by Johhny Cash), the band is recognized for its dark, introspective lyrics, innovative sound design, and intense, immersive live performances, such as their iconic mud-covered appearance at Woodstock ‘94. Beyond industrial rock, Reznor has gained acclaim for composing cinematic, electronic scores for films like The Social Network. The band has sold over 20 million records and been nominated for over a dozen Grammy awards, winning three of them, including Best Rock Song at this year’s ceremony for “As Alive As You Need Me To Be,” from the TRON: Ares film soundtrack.
Umphrey’s Mcgee
Upcoming Event
Umphrey's Mcgee
- Tuesday, March 10, 2026, 7:30 p.m.
- Belly Up Tavern, 143 S. Cedros Avenue, Solana Beach
- Age Limit: 21+
Upcoming Event
Umphrey's Mcgee
- Wednesday, March 11, 2026, 7:30 p.m.
- Belly Up Tavern, 143 S. Cedros Avenue, Solana Beach
- Age Limit: 21+
Umphrey’s Mcgee is considered one of the hardest working bands currently on the road, where they’re constantly bringing their progressive jam rock to concert audiences. Blending complex technical proficiency with improvisation, they are recognized for their virtuosic musicianship, metal-tinged style, and a heavily tech-focused and interactive relationship with their fan base, including hosting their own Summer Camp Music Festival. They became the first band to launch its own single-artist streaming service with UMLive.net, which houses recordings of nearly every gig the band has played since 2005. In additional to original songs, they often build concert sets around creative covers from artists like Phish, Zappa, and Led Zeppelin, blending different genres and artists into unique mashups. They’re also tech pioneers with innovations like the S2 (Stew Art Series), where fans can "conduct" the band's improvisation, and Headphones & Snowcones, providing high-quality soundboard audio mixes to concert attendee headphones during live shows.
