34th Annual America’s Cup w/ DIPLO + CHROMEO + MORE in SAN DIEGO!!! 11/16-11/20

Ahoy sailors! Cruising into the San Diego bay this week/weekend (the 16th thru the 20th) is the infamous 34th annual America’s World Cup, one of a series of races featuring some of the world’s fastest and most high tech catamarans. Teams from around the globe will be competing for the oldest trophy in international sport. After a 15 year absence from Northern America, the World Cup is coming back with a bang; and doubling as a EDM-loaded concert series as well. Who would be featured at a prestigious boating event you may ask? None other than Diplo (!!!!) and Chromeo (!!!!) The Cataracs, K. Flay, The Donkeys, The Silent Comedy along with 16 other artists performing this weekend as well!

The music all starts once the racing dies down, and the only entrance fee is a suggested donation of $10, proceeds benefiting ocean conservation projects.

You know as well as I do, that you almost can’t get access to top-notch entertainment like this anywhere for free/$10!!! And in San Diego. While the musical aspect of this event may seem unrelated to the racing, it retains a nautical theme as the stage is scheduled to be set up between the Navy and Broadway Pier’s (the same stunning venue where Abstract Festival was held!).

And there will be a wine and beer garden. Not like you needed any more incentive to go.


I made a handy little condensed schedule so you know all the events that you shouldn’t miss throughout the day. Basically anything racing or music-related!
