- Petco Park, 100 Park Boulevard, San Diego
- Age Limit: Not available
Multi-platinum selling country pop singer Russell Dickerson is known for blending romantic ballads with country-pop and country-soul sounds. He’s a 2020 ACM nominee for Best New Male Artist of the Year, and his debut album Yours reached number five on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. One of the few country artists to have his first four consecutive singles reach number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart, his hit songs include his debut romantic ballad “Yours” (already a triple-platinum record) along with “Blue Tacoma,” “Every Little Thing,” and “Love You Like I Used To.” He’s touring in support of his recently released fourth album, Famous Back Home. The bill includes country-pop singer, songwriter, and producer Niko Moon, best known for his debut 2020 single “Good Time” and for writing hits for artists such as the Zac Brown Band, Morgan Wallen, and Dierks Bentley.
Kesha and Chromeo
Upcoming Event
Kesha and Chromeo
- Saturday, May 23, 2026, 7:30 p.m.
- North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre, 2050 Entertainment Circle, Chula Vista
- Age Limit: Not available
Singer-songwriter and rapper Kesha earned national notice for her string of electro-pop party anthems released in the early 2000s, in particular her 2009 hit “TiK ToK.” Combining traditional pop vocal techniques with frequent rap passages, she earned commercial success with tracks such as “Timer,” “Your Love Is My Drug,” “Take It Off,” “We R Who We R,” and “Die Young,” and later gained critical notice thanks to ambitious full-length projects such as her albums Rainbow (2017) and Gag Order (2023). Known for her advocacy of various social issues, including support for the LGBTQ+ community, while also maintaining a glitter-soaked party-heavy image, she has written hits for other artists, including “Till the World Ends” for Britney Spears. The opening date of Kesha’s tour includes Canadian electro-funk duo Chromeo, known for their 1980s-inspired blend of analog synthesizers, robotic talk-box vocals, and disco funk grooves topped with witty and frequently romantic lyrics. Opening the show will be electro-pop-punk artist Sizzy Rocket, whose debut 2016 album Thrills spawned the hit indie single “Bestie.”
Yot Club and Zzzahara
Upcoming Event
Yot Club and Zzzahara
- Tuesday, May 26, 2026, 7:30 p.m.
- Quartyard, 1301 Market Street, San Diego
- Age Limit: Not available
Mississippi-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter and producer Ryan Kaiser, AKA Yot Club, blends contemporary synth pop with surf and indie rock, resulting in a dreamy lo-fi bedroom pop sound that he carries over into his professional persona. He first earned widespread notice after scoring over a billion streams for his viral 2019 TikTok hit “YKWIN?” Utilizing DIY production, distorted vocals, retro synths, and surf-rock-influenced guitar, his multiple album projects include Aquarium, Bipolar, Santolina, and Off the Grid. His 2024 album Rufus reportedly explores more polished indie pop, while still maintaining his signature dreamy vibe. The bill includes Los Angeles alt-rocker Zzzahara, born and raised in Highland Park, Los Angeles to Mexican and Filipino parents and previously part of The Simps duo alongside Eyedress. He’s known for blending dream pop, shoegaze, and post-punk sounds on releases such as his 2022 album Liminal Spaces.
