## OnesToWatch Roster Highlights For Fall 2026

The OnesToWatch roster intersects this season’s calendar through Role Model, Jessie Reyez, and Smino. These artists sit at a point where amphitheaters feel intimate and future tours may move to larger rooms.

### Role Model With Samia — Tuesday, October 13, 2026

Role Model’s Chuck On Tour hits Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre on October 13 at 7:30 PM, with Samia opening. Role Model, the project of Tucker Pillsbury, pairs confessional lyrics with melodic indie-pop that has grown from club shows to outdoor amphitheaters. Samia brings an indie-folk catalog with a dedicated following, which makes this pairing a strong discovery night for early arrivals. Doors typically open about an hour before showtime.

### Dermot Kennedy With Jonah Kagen — Thursday, October 22, 2026

Dermot Kennedy’s The Weight of the Woods Tour stops at the venue on Thursday, October 22, 2026 at 8:00 PM, with Jonah Kagen in support. Kennedy’s folk-pop leans toward arena scale, and his North American and European touring has built a sizable live audience. Jonah Kagen, a Nashville-based singer-songwriter, adds a melodic opening set that rewards showing up close to doors.

## Season Patterns And Artist Discovery

The fall and winter 2026 run at Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre stretches across at least six genre lanes and nine announced dates between October and early December. That spread matches the venue’s broader programming, which includes rock, indie, hip-hop, legacy acts, comedy tours, and EDM-adjacent live shows alongside campus events.

OnesToWatch has tracked more than 850 artists over ten years, and only a small fraction reach arena level. Within this season’s lineup, Role Model, Jessie Reyez, and Smino represent that climb in real time. Support acts such as Samia and Jonah Kagen add another layer of discovery for listeners who arrive early.

Pedro Fernández and Victoria Monét close the year with regional Mexican and R&B dates that expand the audience beyond the indie and rock core of October and November.

## Practical Guide To Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre

This section gathers the key logistics for attending a show at Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre, from location and parking to what to bring.

### Venue Location And Contact

Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre sits on the SDSU campus at 5500 Campanile Drive, San Diego, CA 92182, in a residential area near College Avenue. [The administrative office phone number is (619) 594-0234, and the box office uses numbers including (619) 594-2682 and (619) 594-0429](https://as.sdsu.edu/calcoast/contact/). [The venue email is calcoastcuOAT@sdsu.edu](https://as.sdsu.edu/calcoast/contact/).

### Bag Policy

[Small purses, bags, clutches, or wallets up to 4.5″ x 6.5″ are permitted, and all personal items are subject to inspection before and after entry](https://as.sdsu.edu/calcoast/bagpolicy). [Backpacks and professional cameras are not allowed, and outside drinks are limited to one factory-sealed water bottle up to 20 oz., with single-portion outside food in a clear soft container generally allowed](https://www.sdsuamphitheater.com/rules/). [Security enforces the clear bag rules at the main entrance, with medical and childcare exceptions](https://as.sdsu.edu/calcoast/guide). Screening takes time, so arriving early reduces wait times at the gate.

### Cashless Policy

[Most vendors and all concession stands operate cashless, while the box office accepts exact cash amounts](https://as.sdsu.edu/calcoast/ticket). Bringing a debit or credit card or a mobile payment option keeps purchases straightforward once inside.

### Parking And Transit

[Event parking uses SDSU campus parking structures 3 and 6/6B and costs $40 per vehicle, payable by card or mobile wallet](https://as.sdsu.edu/calcoast/parking). Buying a parking pass in advance helps avoid long lines at the structures. [Tailgating, open containers, and overnight parking are prohibited under SDSU rules](https://as.sdsu.edu/calcoast/parking). [Nearby neighborhoods rely on permit parking during events, so free street options close to the venue are limited](https://concertvacay.com/venue/cal-coast-credit-union-open-air-theatre-at-sdsu/).

The Green Line Trolley runs roughly every 15 minutes from early morning until late evening to SDSU Transit Center, which is a short walk from the amphitheater. Bus routes 11, 14, 115, 856, 936, 955, and Rapid 215 also serve the area. [MTS offers free parking at several Green Line Park & Ride lots, including Grantville, Old Town Transit Center, Grossmont Transit Center, and Amaya Drive](https://www.sdmts.com/transit-services/transit-station-parking). Riding a couple of trolley stops from one of these lots can be easier than driving onto campus.

### Seating Layout And Capacity

[The amphitheater holds about 4,600 people across fixed terraced seating, with a small general admission standing area at the top behind the single-lettered sections for select shows](https://as.sdsu.edu/calcoast/ticket). [The design is steeply raked and fan-shaped, which keeps most seats relatively close to the stage](https://www.sdsuamphitheater.com/seating-chart/). Terrace center rows 10 through 20 often balance sightline and sound well.

### Timing, Weather, And What To Bring

Shows rarely sell out except for major tours, so buying at face value about a week out is usually feasible. Some events may offer student rush tickets, according to third-party guides, though this is not confirmed by official venue information. The box office opens only on event days, and in-person purchases are also available at the Viejas Arena box office. [Doors typically open 60 to 90 minutes before showtime](https://as.sdsu.edu/calcoast/guide).

The venue is fully open-air and sits in a campus wind corridor, so temperatures drop after sunset even in warmer months. A light layer or jacket is useful year-round. [Most events allow 20 oz. sealed water bottles and single-portioned outside food in soft containers, though policies can vary by show](https://as.sdsu.edu/calcoast/guide).

[Concession stands sell beer, wine, and standard venue food, with beer often priced in the $12 to $15 range](https://as.sdsu.edu/calcoast/guide). [The surrounding College Area has limited late-night options, though spots like Eureka!, Woodstock’s Pizza, and Burritos Santana tend to stay open later](https://sandiegolineup.com/college-area/dining). Eating before arrival or planning a nearby stop after the show makes the night smoother.

## Season Summary

The fall and winter 2026 season at Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre at SDSU blends legacy names, regional Mexican and Latin rock draws, and OnesToWatch roster artists in amphitheater mode. Role Model, Jessie Reyez, and Smino illustrate how the venue functions as a bridge between club circuits and larger arenas, while support acts such as Samia and Jonah Kagen offer early-set discovery. With a clear sense of the calendar and the venue logistics, readers can choose the dates that match their listening habits and plan a straightforward night out.
