In February 2020, barely a month before the COVID-19 pandemic abruptly shuttered all live events, the San Diego Symphony announced the summer lineup for the 2020 summer debut season of its new outdoor concert venue at Embarcadero Marina Park South, The Shell.
This August, 13 months after its originally scheduled July 2020 opening, the newly renamed Rady Shell at Jacobs Park will belatedly open with a lineup that boasts stars from the worlds of classical music, rock, R&B, jazz, mariachi, Broadway and beyond.
Confirmed acts include at least three Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees: Motown vocal icon Gladys Knight, Beach Boys mastermind Brian Wilson and Police co-founder Stewart Copeland, who will drum at the Aug. 27 world premiere “Police Deranged for Orchestra” concert.
