Field of Dreamz Festival: Slightly Stoopid, Sublime & Stephen Marley at Petco Park, June 13

Overview

San Diego's hometown reggae-rock legends are throwing the ultimate hometown throwdown. Slightly Stoopid presents the inaugural Field of Dreamz Festival at Petco Park on Saturday, June 13, 2026 — a two-stage, all-day music festival featuring Sublime, Stephen Marley, The Elovaters, Pepper, DENM, Z-Trip, Band of Gringos, and Boostive alongside the hometown headliners.

It's a full-circle moment: a San Diego band that came up from Ocean Beach house parties to selling out arenas, headlining the city's flagship ballpark with a festival they curated themselves. If you love California reggae-rock, this is the biggest day on the 2026 calendar.

The Field of Dreamz Lineup

Two stages, eight confirmed acts — all curated by Slightly Stoopid for the inaugural festival:

• Slightly Stoopid (Headliner) — San Diego's reggae-rock anchor since 1995
• Sublime — Long Beach ska-punk legends, current lineup featuring original members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh with Rome Ramirez on vocals
• Stephen Marley — Grammy-winning son of Bob Marley, reggae royalty
• The Elovaters — Massachusetts reggae-rock with multiple Billboard reggae chart hits
• Pepper — Kona, Hawaii reggae-rock heavyweights, fellow '90s veterans
• DENM — California alternative reggae artist on the rise
• Z-Trip — Legendary turntablist and DJ, mashup pioneer
• Band of Gringos — Genre-blending rock and reggae
• Boostive — Bass-driven reggae from Big Bear, California

Why This Is a Big Deal for San Diego

A few things make Field of Dreamz unlike a typical Petco Park concert:

1. Slightly Stoopid is curating their hometown festival. Most stadium shows are touring packages booked by promoters. This is the band picking the lineup, choosing the bands they came up with and the ones they want to elevate. That kind of curatorial control is rare and shows in the genre cohesion — every act on the bill traces back to West Coast reggae-rock and ska.

2. It's a full-circle moment for the band. Slightly Stoopid formed in 1995 in Ocean Beach. Sublime frontman Bradley Nowell discovered them in high school and signed them to his label. Thirty years later, they're headlining their hometown stadium with Sublime on the same bill. The story alone is reason enough to show up.

3. The Sublime legacy is real. While Bradley Nowell passed in 1996, songs like "Santeria," "What I Got," and "40oz. to Freedom" defined '90s California rock. Eric Wilson (bass) and Bud Gaugh (drums) — both original members — are still touring with Rome Ramirez on vocals.

4. Stephen Marley as the surprise heavy. Stephen has won eight Grammys in his own right and carries the most direct line to the original Marley legacy of any current touring artist. Putting him on a SoCal reggae-rock lineup is genuinely a special booking.

When and Where

Saturday, June 13, 2026 at 3:40 PM

Location: Petco Park — 100 Park Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92101 (downtown San Diego)

Field of Dreamz takes over Petco Park with two stages set up across the ballpark — likely the Main Stage on the field with secondary programming in Gallagher Square area.

Who It's For

• Reggae-rock fans — this is the genre defining festival of 2026
• Sublime fans — one of the rare current opportunities to see the band with original members in a stadium setting
• Slightly Stoopid fans — the band's biggest hometown show in years
• Stephen Marley fans — Grammy-winning reggae royalty in a unique festival context
• '90s alternative fans — the lineup is a love letter to a specific era of California rock
• Festival-goers in general — eight acts on two stages in a major-league ballpark is a lot of value for one day

What to Bring

• Sunscreen and a hat — June afternoons at Petco get hot, and most of the day is outdoors
• A water bottle (refill stations are typically available, but check the venue's bag/bottle policy)
• Comfortable shoes — you'll be on your feet most of the day
• Light layers — Petco cools off at night, especially in the upper levels
• Cash and cards for food and merch

Petco Park has a strict bag policy — clear bags or small clutches only. Check the Petco Park bag policy before heading down.

Getting to Petco Park

• MTS Trolley: The Green Line drops you at the 12th & Imperial Station and Gaslamp Quarter Station, both within one block of Petco Park. The smart play for a stadium concert is the trolley
• Driving: Parking ranges from $15 to $55 depending on proximity. The three Padres Preferred lots (Padres Parkade, Tailgate Park, Lexus Premier Lot) open four hours before show start
• Rideshare: Designated pickup/drop-off zones near the ballpark

For tickets and stadium questions, call the Padres at (619) 795-5000.

Good to Know

• Doors typically open 60–90 minutes before show start — plan to arrive by 2:30 PM
• Two stages mean continuous music all afternoon and evening — you can wander between sets rather than wait for transitions
• VIP Field Pit viewing is the closest you'll get to the main-stage acts — worth considering if you're a Slightly Stoopid superfan
• Pair with the Little Italy Mercato in the morning (8 AM – 2 PM) for a perfect Saturday downtown
• Same weekend tip: The free Toyota Racing "The Garage" event runs the same day at Waterfront Park from 11 AM – 7 PM — could be a chill warmup before doors at Petco
• Follow @slightlystoopid and the Padres' official channels for any last-minute schedule updates
