A capacity crowd of 15,000 was expected Friday at the festival, which runs through Sunday alongside San Diego Bay
Reinvention is the mother of necessity for San Diego's Wonderfront Music & Arts Festival, which kicked off its third edition since 2019 Friday afternoon at Embarcadero Marina Park North under cloudy, May gray skies and a pleasant breeze. The three-day festival debuted five years ago, then went dark the next two years because of the pandemic. Wonderfront returned in 2022 but was on hiatus last year to facilitate a shift from its original November time slot to Mother's Day weekend.
Friday, which was expected to draw a capacity audience of 15,000, was geared to fans of hip-hop and electronic dance music with headlining sets by Kaytranada, JID and T-Pain. Saturday has more of a rock and pop emphasis with scheduled performances by Weezer, Dominic Fike, Carly Rae Jepsen and more. Sunday's lineup is the most varied with Beck, The Roots Marcus King, Steel Pulse, Natasha Bedingfield and Fruit Bats in the roster.
