The variety of shows tonight is pretty exciting. Our weather might not indicate summer just yet, but the concert lineup sure does. From legendary folk duo Indigo Girls returning to Humphreys to a co-headlining bill of Coheed and Cambria and Mastodon at Petco Park's Park at the Park, and Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals at SDSU's Open Air Theatre, there really is something for everyone. Lance Bass brings his Pop 2000 Tour to the Fair, post-punk Priests play Soda Bar (read the SoundDiego interview with them here), and rock's Mini Mansions bring the grit to the Casbah. The full lineup and diversity tonight leaves not a single reason to stay home.
