Buddy Guy 90 — The Rady Shell

Buddy Guy's 90th-birthday "Buddy Guy 90" tour stops at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park in San Diego on September 11, 2026. Guy, a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and one of the last major links to Chicago's postwar blues generation, continues to tour behind his 2026 Grammy win for Best Traditional Blues Album, *Ain't Done with the Blues*. His live shows are built around extended, high-energy guitar solos, spontaneous audience interaction, and reflections on his decades in the blues, from his early days in Louisiana to backing Muddy Waters in Chicago clubs. The Rady Shell is an open-air bayfront venue with a distinctive sail-like canopy, offering waterfront views of San Diego Bay alongside the performance. Show time is 7:30 PM, and tickets have ranged from roughly $51 to $173.
