11.10: Morrissey

Moz has definitely been busy lately. In 2015, the singer and songwriter released his first novel, List of the Lost, which centers on a Boston relay team that accidentally kills a demon. Last year, he returned to music and released his 11th solo studio album, Low in High School. The album debuted at No. 5 on the UK Albums chart.

11.10: Pepper

Now in their 21st year, the San Diego-via-Hawaii reggae-rock trio played 91X’s BEER X Festival with longtime friends Slightly Stoopid in June. They return for a free show in Del Mar as long as fans can make it inside the venue before the last race begins.

The Houston-born, now mostly L.A.-based, psych-funk trio returns to San Diego after opening 20 dates of Leon Bridges’ recent Good Thing world tour. Bassist Laura Lee, guitarist Mark Speer and drummer Donald “DJ” Johnson released their second album, Con Todo El Mundo, in January.

11.12: Ghost

The Swedish ghoul rockers released their fourth studio album, Prequelle, in June. It’s the first album for the band since the identity of their frontman was revealed to be Tobias Forge. The band’s vocalist has performed as three different versions of the character Papa Emeritus (I, II, & III), and continues that tradition now with less makeup, but no less creepy, as Cardinal Copia.

11.12: David Crosby & Friends

Two years after appearing at the same venue, two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee David Crosby returns to San Diego for a career-spanning set. No word on who those “friends” will be, but the veteran singer-songwriter has built up an impressive list from which to choose.

11.12: Rex Orange County

Rex Orange County (aka 20-year-old singer and musician Alexander O’Connor) isn’t from Orange County at all. He’s actually from Grayshott, Hampshire, England — a civil parish that is also the birthplace of actor Colin Firth. Who knows? Perhaps they’ll team up in the future.
