Snapdragon Stadium is made for sports. But conveniently for San Diego music fans, it’s also a spectacular venue to see concerts. In its first year, Snapdragon has hosted concert performances from Jimmy Buffet and the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the lineup of upcoming concerts in 2023 is even better.

First-Timers Tips
Helpful advice if this is your first time attending a concert at Snapdragon.
Parking & Tailgating: Read about parking and please pay for parking in advance. For most concerts, tailgating is allowed but there may be exceptions. Please check your specific concert details.
Gates: Entrance gates will open two hours prior to concert.
Cashlessness and Mobile Ticketing: Snapdragon is cashless. Use a credit card for payment and/or download the app. Please do not hold that phone up in front of me when I am trying to watch the concert.
Concert End Times: Subject to each event. Snapdragon has an 11PM curfew.
