27 SoCal Bands Will Play at Bayfair

Catch the music stars of tomorrow and some of San Diego’s favorite bands on the Air National Guard stage Friday through Sunday during the 47th annual Air National Guard San Diego Bayfair on Mission Bay.

 More than 25 bands will be performing live and whether you like rock, hip-hop or reggae music, chances are there is a band playing that fits your taste. Each band will play a 45-minute set, showcasing their best songs in front of thousands of boating-racing fans.

 Dave Rodger of Live Event put out a call to Southern California bands looking to perform at Air National Guard San Diego Bayfair. Not only did he bring in some up-and-comers but musical artists that could be household names in the next two years.

 “In the near future some of these bands are going to be very successful,” Rodger said. “When they hit it big, you can be the first to say you saw them at San Diego Bayfair.”

 A new band will perform every hour with live music starting Friday at 10 a.m. San Diego’s The Farmers will close out the live music with a show at 2 p.m. Sunday. The musical entertainment is included with the ticket into Bayfair.

 San Diego Bayfair features more than 120 of the world’s fastest boats, including the Air National Guard Hydroplane and Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing series. In addition to the on-water competition, Bayfair offers a kids’ zone, food booths and gardens.

 The wall-to-wall live entertainment proves that Bayfair is a “family fun festival,” said Jeff Thomas, president of San Diego Bayfair’s Board of Governors.

 “The 27 bands playing over three days shows that Bayfair is more than just boat racing,” Thomas said. “This is a great chance to see some new bands and some well-established bands from the San Diego area.”

 Tickets start at $20 for a single-day pass and a three-day Super Pass is $45. Active military and reservists are admitted free with valid identification.
