Jimmy Buffett, Jason Mraz To Play First Concert At Snapdragon Stadium

SAN DIEGO, CA — San Diego is preparing to turn into Margaritaville.

Jimmy Buffett announced that he will play the inaugural concert at San Diego State University’s brand-new Snapdragon Stadium - formerly Aztec Stadium - on Oct. 22, along with Grammy Award-winning San Diego native Jason Mraz.

The stop is part of Buffett’s “Life On The Flip Side Redux” Tour to promote his 2020 album “Life on the Flip Side.” Mraz, meanwhile, just released a compilation album called “Lalalalovesongs,” which contains classic hits like “I Won’t Give Up” and “I’m Yours.”

“We are not only excited to be announcing Snapdragon Stadium’s first concert, but we are beyond thrilled to open San Diego’s newest, state-of-the-art venue with such an iconic artist like Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band,” Snapdragon Stadium General Manager Adam Millar said in a statement. “Buffett, along with hometown hero, Jason Mraz, will make for an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience you can’t miss.”

The 35,000-seat stadium will serve as the home of the San Diego State Aztecs and The Wave FC women’s soccer team. Qualcomm, a wireless technology company, acquired naming rights in Dec. 2021 for $45 million, and named it for its mobile processor Snapdragon.

Presale tickets to Buffett and Mraz will go on sale here on Thursday, June 23. General public tickets will be available the following day.
