Rilo Kiley with special guest Waxahatchee

Date: Friday, October 17, 2025

Who Is Rilo Kiley?

Rilo Kiley is an influential indie rock band from Los Angeles, originally active from 1998 to 2011. Fronted by Jenny Lewis and guitarist Blake Sennett, their music blends confessional songwriting, pop hooks, and indie rock grit. Albums like The Execution of All Things and More Adventurous became staples of early 2000s indie rock. Their reunion tour in 2025 marks their first full-length run since their hiatus over 15 years ago.

About Waxahatchee

Opening the show is Waxahatchee, the project of singer-songwriter Katie Crutchfield. Known for her emotionally raw lyrics and fusion of Americana and indie rock, she’s become one of the most respected voices in modern folk-rock. Albums like Saint Cloud and Tigers Blood showcase her thoughtful, grounded songwriting—making her a natural fit for this tour.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss This

This isn’t just another reunion tour. Rilo Kiley’s return is meaningful for longtime fans and new listeners alike. The combination of:

• A full original lineup,
• A new greatest hits release (That’s How We Choose To Remember It),
• And a rare chance to hear these songs live—

makes this a special evening. Add Waxahatchee’s compelling presence and Petco Park’s downtown setting, and you’ve got a unique, well-rounded concert experience.

Rilo Kiley’s First Petco Park Performance

This show marks Rilo Kiley’s first-ever performance at Petco Park. While the band has played San Diego before—at venues like The Casbah and SOMA—this is their largest local stage to date, reflecting the scale and significance of their long-awaited return.
