Temper: San Diego’s Exciting New Dance/Electronic Music Festival
San Diego’s vibrant nightlife is about to get an electrifying boost with the debut of Temper, a new dance/electronic music festival set to take over Petco Park on December 19. Organized by LED Presents, the creative minds behind popular events like OMFG!NYE and Kaskade in the Park, Temper promises an unforgettable experience for electronic music lovers. This one-day, 18+ festival will highlight a diverse lineup that embodies the spirit of techno, club, and experimental sounds.
Star-Studded Lineup
At the heart of Temper’s appeal is its stellar lineup featuring Zeds Dead, the Canadian duo known for their genre-blending sound and immersive live performances. Fans will be excited to catch Zeds Dead at Temper, especially since it will be one of only two performances following their extensive Journey of a Lifetime Tour. This tour marked their largest headline run yet and was in support of their latest album, Return to the Return (of the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness). Alongside Zeds Dead, the festival will showcase a variety of talents, including:
- Ninajirachi, known for her infectious beats and fresh sound
- Sara Landry, a local talent making waves with her unique flair
- G Jones, a trailblazer in the experimental bass scene
- Whethan, who combines elements of pop and electronic
- Mary Droppinz, a rising star praised for her energetic sets
- MGNA CRRRTA, and Kurei, both known for their innovative approaches
Attendees can look forward to a captivating experience as the lineup unfolds across three distinct stages, each dedicated to different facets of electronic music.
Venue and Experience
Petco Park, the iconic baseball stadium, will transform into an electrifying space for dance enthusiasts and festival-goers alike. The venue will be split into three stages, catering to a variety of musical tastes—from heart-pounding techno to groovy club beats and experimental sounds. This arrangement encourages attendees to explore and discover new artists in an energetic, festival atmosphere unlike any other in San Diego.
Ticket Information
Tickets for Temper are set to go on sale soon, and fans are already anticipating the chance to be part of this inaugural event. A presale will kick off at noon PT on August 10, followed by a general sale the next day at the same time. Those interested can sign up for presale access here. Given the buzz surrounding the event, tickets are expected to sell out quickly, so interested attendees should act fast to secure their spot.
A Unique Opportunity
Temper stands out not only for its impressive lineup but also for its unique timing. With Zeds Dead performing only two additional sets in 2026—one at Temper and another at Eternal NYE in Orlando on December 31—this festival represents a rare opportunity to see them live before their hiatus in 2027. Fans and newcomers alike will not want to miss this chance to experience one of electronic music’s most beloved acts in an intimate festival setting.
With its carefully curated lineup, prime location, and the reputation of LED Presents, Temper is poised to become a must-attend event for electronic music lovers in San Diego and beyond.
