Temper Festival Lineup & Three-Stage Setup

Expanding their genre footprint after a dominant year of electronic programming, LED Presents has curated a boundary-pushing roster for Temper’s inaugural run. The event is spread across three distinct stages covering heavy dubstep, 140-BPM, trap, and high-energy club music.

The main stage features heavyweight electronic titans and next-gen talent, including Zeds Dead, hard techno breakout Sara Landry, trap visionary G Jones, Whethan, and Crankdat. The depth of the undercard is just as formidable, featuring a massive Levity b2b Richard Finger set, Mary Droppinz, Distinct Motive, Jordnmoody b2b Snuffy, and Australian indie-electronic innovator Ninajirachi.

Ticket Strategy (Field vs. Bowl): You need to know exactly which ticket you are buying. GA Floor tickets grant you access to all three stages, including the main stage floor. GA Bowl tickets only provide unassigned stadium seating in the lower bowl—they do not include floor access at the main stage. With Tier 1 pricing already sold out across the board, secure your access early or be prepared to monitor secondary resale drops the week of the show.

Full Stadium Festival Configuration

Do not confuse this with a standard Gallagher Square concert. Temper Festival utilizes Petco Park’s expansive open-air grounds, transforming the actual stadium and surrounding areas into a massive electronic playground. While Gallagher Square will likely house auxiliary stages, the main stage takes over the actual baseball field.


Getting to Petco Park for Temper Festival

Parking Options

Because this event runs all day from 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, finding street parking will be impossible. We highly recommend utilizing specific, offset parking structures to avoid the post-festival gridlock. Secure spots at the 6th & K Parkade or Park It On Market by reserving ahead via SpotHero.

Public Transportation

The safest and most efficient way to travel to a downtown New Year’s Eve weekend festival is the MTS Trolley. The 12th & Imperial Station drops you directly at the stadium gates.


What to Know Before You Go

Strict 18+ Entry & EDM Rules

Temper Festival is strictly 18 and over. You must bring a valid physical ID to enter. Additionally, attendees must follow specific LED Presents protocols. Read our complete EDM Concert Rules for guidance on acceptable festival attire.

Bag Policy & Allowed Items

Only small clutches (4.5” × 6.5”) and clear bags are permitted under the Petco Park bag policy. Double-check the Permitted & Prohibited Items list—hydration packs and specific rave accessories may face strict scrutiny at the gates.

Weather & The Marine Layer

Late December in San Diego gets surprisingly cold once the sun goes down, especially in an open-air stadium near the water. Dress in layers.

Post-Show Rideshare Strategy

When the music concludes sharply at 11:00 PM due to East Village curfews, thousands of attendees will flood the exits. Don’t call an Uber directly to the venue gates. Use our rideshare guide and walk several blocks into the Gaslamp Quarter to secure a ride faster and beat surge pricing.
