Grammy-winning R&B and funk visionary Steve Lacy takes the stage in San Diego for a highly anticipated headlining show. The former Internet guitarist and modern indie-pop icon performs at Gallagher Square on Thursday, November 19, 2026. Expect a magnetic evening blending lo-fi aesthetic, intricate musicianship, and massive singalongs under the downtown skyline.
After rising to prominence as a formidable multi-instrumentalist force with The Internet, Steve Lacy quickly established himself as a solo powerhouse. His critically acclaimed breakout debut, Apollo XXI, earned him a Grammy nomination, but it was his follow-up that catapulted him to global superstardom.
With the release of the smash-hit album Gemini Rights, Lacy dominated the charts and global playlists. Propelled by the infectious, inescapable groove of his Billboard #1 single “Bad Habit,” he cemented his status as a visionary who effortlessly bends genres from psychedelic rock to smooth soul.
Ticket Strategy: Lacy’s fanbase is massive and highly dedicated, making this a surefire sellout. Do not wait for last-minute price drops on the primary market. If you are eyeing secondary markets like Vivid Seats, secure your spot early before inventory shrinks.
This show takes place at Gallagher Square, Petco Park’s 2.8-acre outdoor concert venue. Operating with a 6,000+ capacity, the open-air environment is perfect for Steve Lacy’s intimate yet expansive atmosphere.

Enter through the East Village Gate on 10th Avenue. Arrive early to secure the best standing-room locations near the stage.
The easiest way in and out is the MTS Trolley. Take the Green or UC San Diego Blue lines straight to the 12th & Imperial Station, located right outside the venue.
Downtown San Diego parking fills up fast for concerts. Check our Petco Park Parking Guide and use SpotHero to lock in a guaranteed spot ahead of time.
Do not bring a backpack. Petco Park enforces strict bag restrictions. Small clutches (4.5” × 6.5”) and clear bags only.
Be sure to review the general Concert Rules. Bring your mobile ticket, a valid ID, a credit/debit card (vendors are cashless), and a light jacket—November nights in San Diego get chilly once the sun goes down.
