Take to the streets this St. Patrick’s Day from 4 p.m. to midnight Thursday, March 17, as the Gaslamp becomes a green paradise carpeted in more than 80,000 square feet of astro-turf for San Diego’s top Saint Patty’s Day celebration: the 22nd annual Bud Light shamROCK presented by Jameson Irish Whiskey and The Field.
Three stages of music will get you jigging like a leprechaun that has found a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Nothing says Saint Patty’s day quite like the roar and liveliness of live Irish rock. Get your shamROCK on at the Pub Stage, featuring a jam-packed lineup of Irish punk and rock bands, including Ass Pocket Whiskey Fellas, Bad Haggis, Drunken Lullabies, The Fenians, and The Fooks. Be sure to brush up on your jig to impress your pals, or leave it to the pros of Na Scéalaithe Irish Dance Company as they perform incredible footwork alongside our talented lineup.
If EDM is more your scene, visit the Clover Stage. Gents & Jawns, G-roy, Christyle, Este, and Craig Smoove will be rocking the block.
The Pint Stage is your stop for all things house music. This stage will have you feeling like you just found a bucket of four-leaf clovers as you dance to Kastra, Mr. Brown, Slaptop, Fishfonics, and Decon.
