Dermot Kennedy (The Weight of the Woods Tour)

Dermot Kennedy brings his The Weight of the Woods tour to the Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre on Thursday, October 22, 2026. It's an outdoor show at San Diego State University, with the set starting at 8 PM and doors opening an hour before at 7 PM.

Kennedy is touring The Weight of the Woods, and he's not coming alone. Jonah Kagen and Aaron Rowe are on the bill, so the night will be a full run of three acts rather than just the headliner. If you're planning to catch the openers, getting there closer to 7 PM makes more sense than rolling in right as the main set starts.

Since it's an open-air venue, a few practical things are worth keeping in mind before you head out. The site is cashless, so you'll need a card for drinks or merch; if you're only carrying cash, there are cash-to-card kiosks behind the Ticket Office to get you sorted. There's also a strict clear-bag policy in place: bags have to be clear and no larger than 12" x 6" x 12", or a one-gallon clear freezer bag. Small purses, clutches, and wallets up to 4.5" x 6.5" are allowed, but backpacks aren't. If you're used to bringing a bag to shows, this is the one to double-check before you leave the house.

So, Dermot Kennedy at the Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre, Thursday, October 22, doors at 7 PM, show at 8 PM.
