Road warriors A Day To Remember are coming to San Diego for their brand new Just Some Shows Tour! Over the course of the past several years, each of A Day To Remember’s releases have hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Rock, Indie and/or Alternative Charts. They’ve also sold more than a million units, racked up over 400 million Spotify streams and 500 million YouTube views, garnered two gold-selling albums and singles (and one silver album in the UK) and sold out entire continental tours (including their own curated Self Help Festival), amassing a global fanbase whose members number in the millions. All of which explains why Rolling Stone called them “An Artist You Need To Know.” In other words, their creative process has worked and worked well. See them live at PETCO Park on Friday, October 7 at 6:00p.m.!

Ancient feuds. Misty moors. Highland spirits. Bagpipes. Fiddles. Magic. Scottish legends have all that and more with a special storytelling show to kick off the annual San Diego Highland Games. Enjoy live storytelling as some of San Diego’s most acclaimed storytellers take the stage to recount tales from this ancient and storied land. Back by popular demand -- James Nelson-Lucas, Aunt Li-Anne, Mindy Donner, and Marilyn McPhie will entertain with traditional tales and legends from the highlands and isles of Scotland. New to this stage is Lissette Ryan, who couples her tales with tunes on her harp. Also joining in the evening’s entertainment is another well-loved favorite – Rachel Amov, the Gypsy Fiddler, weaving her music around (and sometimes through) the stories. Organizer Marilyn McPhie says, "I fell once again under the spell of Scotland's stories on a visit to this ancient land. These tales will fill listeners with wonder, delight – and perhaps a few shivers. No one is ever too young or too old for a good story." Marilyn McPhie and Aunt Li-Anne will also be sharing stories at the games on Saturday and Sunday at 11:00 p.m. and 2:50 p.m. in the children's area. The storytelling show will be held on the Beer Garden stage at the Highland Games venue, Brengle Terrace Park, 1200 Vale Terrace Drive, Vista, CA. 6/24 event is designed for ages 12 and up. Tickets available at Eventbrite or at the door. $20 for adults; under 12, free. More information: 858-337-0990 or www.storytellersofsandiego.org
