In 1994 Del Mar brought the funk to Fridays with free concerts. Over the years the phenomenon of the Free Friday Concerts has strengthen behind the likes of Cake, Billy Idol, Devo, Gnarls Barkley, Ziggy Marley, Violent Femmes and Jason Mraz, but in 2001 a singer/songwriter/surfer named Jack Johnson put Del Mar on the musical map (or was it the other way around)? Fast-forward 17 years and 117 concerts later to Del Mar’s 2010 Summer Concert Series.
Four O'Clock Friday Concerts are held at the Seaside Stage next to the Seaside Terrace Cabana.
* Saturday Concerts are held at the Infield Stage.
** Local Music Showcase is held in the Infield Pavilion Stage.
The concert is free with track admission. Following the last race, concert prices are $20. No reserved seats, standing room only so get here early. Concert starts after the races.
Another great week at Del Mar Racetrack. Here are a few pics of our dazzling Cougars, the cool and collected Common Sense in concert, and our always fun Free & Easy Wednesdays.
The Four o’clock Fridays are back, and were another big hit with Pinback in concert. Pinback, San Diego natives, played some crowd favorites such as Fortress and Sender.
