September is officially here, and we’re two-thirds of the way through 2023 — but we haven’t heard it all yet. San Diego is preparing for a star-studded set list of post-summer concerts, and we’ve rounded up 10 that will end the year with a bang.

- We love free, local music. Explore 75 acts on seven stages at the Adams Avenue Street Fair on Saturday, Sept. 23 + Sunday, Sept. 24.
- Coldplay will perform their “Music Of The Spheres World Tour” at Snapdragon Stadium with H.E.R. and 070 Shake on Wednesday, Sept. 27 + Thursday, Sept. 28.
October
