San Diego isn’t treated like a minor stop by every tour, and plenty of recognizable rock bands come through during the year. Some stadium-level acts still make LA their only Southern California date, but the local calendar is far from empty. Keep an eye on Petco Park and Pechanga Arena for the biggest names, while The Observatory North Park and SOMA are more likely to catch tours that skip arenas. House of Blues and Brick by Brick are also useful for finding rock and metal shows during the week.
