One of the biggest draws to the Del Mar Racetrack isn't the horses, it's rock 'n' roll.
Del Mar's annual Summer Concert Series brings out popular bands to perform free shows after the final race on Fridays and Saturdays. Over the years it's attracted acts like Weezer, the B-52s and The Cult.
Here's the lineup for 2016:
- July 22: Cold War Kids
- July 29: Fitz and The Tantrums
- July 30: Reggae Fest featuring Ziggy Marley
- Aug. 5: Girl Talk
- Aug. 6: Brian Setzer’s Rockabilly Riot!
- Aug. 12: Chris Young
- Aug. 19: Thievery Corporation
- Aug. 26: Pepper
- Sept. 2: The Wailers
- Sept. 3: Chromeo
