Temper Festival: Zeds Dead, Sara Landry and G Jones bring bass to Petco Park on Dec. 30

LED Presents' new one-day festival puts three stages inside the Padres' ballpark the night before New Year's Eve, with Zeds Dead playing one of their last sets before a 2027 hiatus.

San Diego usually saves its biggest dance night for December 31. This year the bass arrives a day early, and it arrives inside a ballpark.

Temper Festival takes over Petco Park on Wednesday, December 30, 2026, from 3pm to 11pm. It's a new one-day event from San Diego promoter LED Presents, with three stages, 18+ entry and tickets through Leap/Showclix. Our listing counts 27 acts.

The top of the bill leans hard and heavy. Zeds Dead lead it, and the duo has said it will be taking time off in 2027. That alone gives the night some weight for anyone who's followed them. Sara Landry brings the hard-techno side, G Jones the experimental bass, and Crankdat, Levity (going b2b with Richard Finger), Whethan and Ninajirachi fill out a deep upper tier. Mary Droppinz is on the bill, and Tiffany Day is set for a DJ set.

Zeds Dead have said they will be taking time off in 2027.

The undercard is where a three-stage festival earns its afternoon. Our listing includes Zorza, Neumonic, MGNA Crrrta, Distinct Motive, Madam X, Starjunk 95, Hell Gnar and SEES00000, plus names like Bad Girl Bailey, Connor Q, Gaszia, jordnmoody, snuffy, Jovella, Julia Cooper, KUREI and RamonPang. With a 3pm start, the early sets are a real chance to find something new before the headliners crowd the field.

A few things worth knowing before you buy. Petco Park is being split between the field and the lower bowl, and floor access is limited to GA Floor tickets, according to the ticketing listing. Festival and Field tickets cover entry and all three stages. The event is rain or shine, and the listing says venue changes are not grounds for a refund. The lineup is also subject to change, so check back with LED as the date gets closer.

For San Diego, a festival of this size downtown in the dead of winter is a statement. The Padres' concerts page lists Temper alongside the ballpark's other big-ticket events, and LED has been using the Gallagher Square side of the park for headliner shows. Bringing a full three-stage bill into the stadium itself is a step up.

One note: a single outlet reported a December 19 date for the festival. LED's own listing and the ticketing page both say December 30, and that's the date to plan around.

Get downtown early and save your voice. New Year's Eve is the next night.
