SAN DIEGO — UC San Diego has announced its first lineup of performances coming to a new amphitheater on campus this fall.
The Epstein Family Amphitheater, opening in October, will seat 2,650 people and will be located just off the San Diego Trolley’s new Blue Line, according to the university.
The first concert will take place October 7, when Fémina, an Argentine folk-fusion quartet, performs. Tickets for that show will go on sale July 18.
Next up, on October 21, San Diego Symphony will perform music from UCSD alumna Anna Thorvaldsdottir as well as faculty Lei Liang and Rand Steiger. Presale tickets for university faculty, staff and students went on sale Thursday.
The following night, October 22, Death Cab for Cutie will perform, just one month after the release of the band’s tenth studio album, “Asphalt Meadows.” The band will be joined by Yo La Tengo.
On October 27, catch Las Cafeteras‘ “Hasta La Muerte,” “a new production rooted in the celebration of Life and Death.” Tickets go on sale July 18.
The open-air venue, when not hosting a performance, will serve as a “public, open space for recreation, celebration and connection,” according to the university.
