Kool & the Gang return to The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park with fan-favorite hits such as "Celebration", "Cherish", "Jungle Boogie", "Summer Madness" and many more, following their sold-out 4th of July performance in 2022. Sister Sledge – making their Rady Shell at Jacobs Park debut – will get audiences on their feet with their own lineup of hit songs, and DJ Prince Hakim gets the night started in his triumphant return to our San Diego stage. Kool & the Gang have earned two Grammy® Awards, seven American Music Awards, 25 Top Ten R&B hits, 9 Top Ten Pop hits and 31 gold and platinum albums. From Nairobi to Newark, Kool & the Gang have performed continuously longer than any R&B group in history and their bulletproof funk and jazzy arrangements have also made them the most sampled R&B band of all time. A reviewer recently called their performance “a 24-karat show”, and every year, even after a half-century on the road, yields a non-stop schedule of shows across the globe. With dance floors all over the world set alight with the contagious joy and expression in their music, the Sledge sisters became a household name and symbol of unity with their 1979 worldwide hit and iconic album We are Family. The multi-lead vocal group are responsible for some of the biggest dance anthems of all time, including "Lost in Music", "He's the Greatest Dancer" and "Thinking of You". Please note: the San Diego Symphony does not appear on this concert event. Stay Connected on Social Media! Facebook | Instagram | X

The 2nd Annual SoCal Sumo Open is a FREE event that will be held at the City Heights Performance Annex at 3795 Fairmount Ave. on the ancestral and unceded lands of the Kumeyaay people (San Diego, CA). In 2023, HONU SUMO Club & Maximum Effort Foundation held its first SoCal Sumo Open.

Over 60 wrestlers competed in front of more than 200 spectators and fans. Join us as we make history again! HONU Sumo Club and Maximum Effort Foundation dedicate each SoCal Sumo Open to San Diego’s Japanese community of the past, present and future. We honor the Japanese community across all timelines for continuing to share sumo, judo, kendo and other sports from Japan with our community and the world, for their resiliency and love as they still practiced sumo, even while being incarcerated, in internment camps and after being released, with threat of imprisonment due to racism, and for continuing to be in solidarity with oppressed people everywhere.
