The Wailers · Lettuce · Talib Kweli · Al Di Meola · Canned Heat · DeVotchKa — 29 nights, one small room, no easy parking
The Belly Up (143 S Cedros Ave, Solana Beach) has one of the densest fall calendars in the county — and the Cedros Design District has some of its tightest parking. EGT runs a flat round trip from anywhere in metro San Diego: $120 BMW i7 (2) · $160 Rivian R1S (up to 4) · $200 Escalade IQ-L (up to 5) — marquee nights $150/$200/$250. Gratuity and waiting time are inside the number, the driver is staged for the encore, and there is no surge. The train gets you there but rarely gets you home — the last practical southbound usually leaves before the encore. Call or text (858) 522-0264.
Per the venue's published calendar, checked August 21, 2026. Lineups change — verify with the Belly Up box office before you buy.

Drive: the venue's own lots and Cedros street parking fill early on Friday/Saturday nights; you will often end up several blocks out. Train: Solana Beach station is genuinely close — the catch is the ride home, because the last practical southbound usually departs before the encore ends (and there is no Surfliner at all September 12–13). Private car: EGT's flat round trip means a door pickup, a drop at Cedros Ave, and a driver staged when the lights come up — the ride home is booked before the first song.
The honest concession: for a solo rider going to an early or midweek show who lives near a COASTER station, the train both ways is a few dollars and hard to beat. The car wins for pairs and groups, weekend nights, and any show you want to stay to the end of.
