Upcoming concerts in San Diego
Just when you thought things were going to get quieter around San Diego, new bands stride into town with some of their newest hits.
But some of these bands don’t provide your average run of the mill music. Many of them introduce their listeners to new genres and tunes that many may find entirely new altogether.
Here are some of the most popular bands coming to San Diego in December.
The Chainsmokers
Where: 615 Broadway San Diego, CA
When: Saturday, December 3 at 7:00 p.m.
Price: $25-$75
What: The blend of electro house and EDM are just a few of the genres that The Chainsmokers cover. After heading up the band in 2012, Alexander Pall and Andrew Taggart found success three years later after winning Favorite Electronic/Dance Music Artist at the American Music Awards. According to The Interview magazine, Taggart labeled their duo band as, “blur[ring] the lines between indie, pop music, dance music, and hip-hop.”

Daughter is yet another band from England, and is reasonably new to the band scene.

Against the Current
Where: Soma, 3350 Sports Arena Boulevard
When: Saturday, December 3 at 7:00 p.m.
Price: $15 in advance

Since then, they have made appearances on multiple album charts and have been touring to promote their newest album, In Our Bones which released in May of 2016.
Tribal Theory
Where: House of Blues, 1055 Fifth Avenue
When: Friday, Dec 30 at 7:00 p.m.
