Swede retro-rockers the Hives play to a sold-out crowd at the Belly Up on Valentine's Day.

Love is in the air, and whether you've been struck by Cupid's arrow or it missed you this year, you can always find comfort in the unconditional love of music. The Hives haven't been to San Diego in quite some time, but their shows are always incredible -- no doubt the sold-out crowd at the Belly Up is going to have a fantastic show. Even if you don't have a ticket, you can still get out and enjoy the night, whether it's at the fun-time dance party at the Casbah with Wallpaper and Con Bro Chill or with the rock of Japanther at Soda Bar, or with the Latin flavor that B-Side Players at Winston's. Music as your lover will never let you down.
