This new, outdoor venue offers an immersive musical experience next to San Diego Bay. The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park | 222 Marina Park Way Artists perform to huge crowds, with most shows scheduled from June to November. Some of San Diego’s biggest shows can be found at this outdoor Chula Vista venue that opened in 1998. North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre | 2050 Entertainment Circle Acts perform to large crowds, attracting a mix of rising artists and long-time favorites. You might head to this venue to watch San Diego State University basketball games, but it’s also home to live music. Many of San Diego’s sports teams have called this Midway District venue home since it opened in 1966 (albeit, under different names over the decades), but it also has a long musical history - everyone from Jimi Hendrix to Britney Spears has rocked this stage. It attracted a rockin’ roster for its first full year including P!nk, Guns N’ Roses, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and legend Jimmy Buffet, who played his final full concert at this venue before his death. Not only is this Mission Valley venue home to San Diego Wave FC and SDSU Aztecs Football, but it makes the perfect arena for huge music acts. The Rolling Stones was the first act to play at the venue in 2005, but many big names have packed the stadium over the years.
The Padres bring in huge crowds, so when their home base hosts concerts, the downtown ballpark can hold San Diego’s largest audience.
