Field of Dreamz Festival 2026
Slightly Stoopid, Sublime & More at Petco Park
Slightly Stoopid is from San Diego. They grew up here, started playing here, got their big break here when Sublime's Bradley Nowell personally signed them as teenagers. Forty years later, they're headlining their own stadium festival in their own city at Petco Park, and they've brought Sublime to play it with them. The Field of Dreamz Festival is the inaugural edition — Saturday, June 13, 2026, gates at 3:40 PM, two stages, nine acts, all day. It's a homecoming celebration for the California reggae-rock scene that San Diego helped build.

📖 Why This Festival Matters — The San Diego Reggae-Rock Story
Slightly Stoopid met Bradley Nowell of Sublime in the early 1990s on the San Diego-Long Beach punk and reggae circuit. Nowell liked what he heard and signed them to his label, Skunk Records, when they were still teenagers from Ocean Beach. That connection — San Diego skate culture, California beach life, reggae rhythms, and punk energy — defined a sound that Sublime popularized and Slightly Stoopid carried forward after Nowell's death in 1996.
The Field of Dreamz Festival is explicitly a celebration of that lineage. Having Sublime on the bill isn't just a booking — it's a closing of a circle that opened in San Diego three decades ago.

💡 Insider Tips for Field of Dreamz Festival
- • Two stages means you'll need a plan — once the full schedule drops on fieldofdreamzfest.com, map out which sets overlap.
- • The VIP Field Pit is the closest you'll get to the stage. If front-and-center matters to you, the All-Star VIP pays for itself in positioning alone.
- • Slightly Stoopid usually plays 90+ minutes as the headliner. Their sets are known for improvisational stretches — the official set time is a floor, not a ceiling.
- • June in downtown San Diego can bring June Gloom into the late afternoon. Bring a layer for when the sun drops.
- • Petco Park's field surface is grass over concrete — wear shoes you can stand in all day.
- • This is the inaugural year. The first year is often the best deal — expect prices and demand to climb if it's a success.
