San Diegos's Street Scene migrates again


For 23 years, Street Scene has gathered the diverse musical interests of Southern California on the streets and open spaces of San Diego.
Exactly which streets, however, has been the question.
Originally the festival was held in the then-seedy downtown Gaslamp District.
Founder Rob Hagey helped define the event as an destination festival, bringing in bands such as R.E.M., Ben Harper, Wilco, Wyclef Jean and Black Eyed Peas, to name just a few.
This year, Hagey teamed with the Los Angeles-based Live Nation to help promote the show. Street Scene was originally scheduled for the Del Mar Fairgrounds, but failure to book a big-time headliner and sluggish ticket sales pushed the festival south, to Coors Amphitheatre in Chula Vista. Live Nation owns the 20,000-capacity venue. Street Scene this year will feature more than 60 artists on five stages, with headliners Muse anchoring Saturday's lineup and the Killers holding down Sunday.
