See your favorite bands like Pepper, Tribal Seeds, Fortunate Youth and HIRIE in San Diego at Mission Bayfest 2023. The two day festival is running September 29th and 30th and has a stellar lineup!

There are certain bands that when you hear their song come on, you know you are going to have an epic day. Usually they are trend setters and veterans of honing and perfecting their craft. Enter Stick Figure. The reggae rock band consistently releases brilliant reggae rock and their latest album, “Wisdom” is another reminder that Stick Figure is out of this world talented.

The time is almost here and I’m so excited! Stick Figure’s new album “Wisdom” will be released in one week on September 9, 2022. Over the years Stick Figure has risen to reggae superstardom and the band deserves all the accolades and more! When I listen to Stick Figure, I’m transported into such a beautiful place. Scott Woodruff and band members including KBong and Johnny Cosmic always bring the good vibes and their reggae riddims are legendary.

Tropidelic released an amazing new album today titled, “All The Colors”. Look out for our review soon! We spoke with Tropidelic frontman, Matthew Roads to learn about the album’s creation, the band’s live shows, and collaboration with artists like Iration, Michael Franti, The Expendables, Little Stranger, 311, KBong, and Johnny Cosmic.

New York native Vana Liya has released her debut album "Little Kahuna" on LAW Records! Vana began making a splash in the reggae scene by posting covers of songs by Pepper, Rebelution, and Stick Figure that subsequently went viral and were shared on the bands' social media accounts. Since then she's been putting out wonderful singles, opening up for major reggae acts and performing at the one and only Sugarshack Sessions.

Thousands of fans came together at the beautiful Waterfront Park in San Diego and the good vibes were contagious at San Diego Bayfest 2021. The music festival, which was held on Saturday, July 10th, was an epic day filled with great music, happy faces, and perfect weather. Dirty Heads and Sublime With Rome had stellar headline sets and got the whole crowd singing along to their songs.

KBong dropped his grooving new album, Let Love Lead, today and it’s our favorite KBong album to date! Let Love Lead follows up KBong’s 2018 album, Easy to Love You, and communicates a super positive message. The new album features Mike Love, Mellow Mood, Iya Terra, and Flowmads.

Live music is back in a major way, and if you’re looking for an epic time this weekend look no further than San Diego Bayfest.
