Wednesday, April 29 – DJ Steez
San Diego’s premier boutique nightclub SideBar is kicking off late April with a triple-threat DJ showcase. The Gaslamp’s intimate, high-energy lounge combines over-the-top decor and craft cocktails with live beats, and this week promises no exception. DJ Steez (Wed, April 29) leads off the lineup with his international-flavored grooves. Hailing from nearby Temecula, Steez has spent 14 years honing his craft – “building a reputation in San Diego and Southern California” as a “highly talented” and adaptable DJ. He’s made the rounds at top SoCal clubs (including regular gigs at SideBar, Parq, Oxford Social, and beyond), where his sets seamlessly blend hip-hop, house, Latin, and global bass. Expect Steez to spin eclectic mixes – from pulsating Afro-house and Amapiano to festival-style pop bangers – as he transforms Wednesday night into a cross-genre dance party. With studied turntable skills and a knack for reading the crowd, DJ Steez will drop high-octane hits and smooth throwbacks alike, setting a lively tone under SideBar’s neon glow.
Friday, May 1 – DJ Kaos
Friday is headlined by San Diego’s own DJ Kaos, a local legend and SideBar resident favorite. A hometown hero turned national star, Kaos has been “igniting SoCal dance floors for over a decade”. His open-format sets are legendary for seamless genre-blending – one moment he’s dropping Top 40 and hip-hop anthems, the next he’s unleashing peak-time EDM or underground house – all with razor-sharp mixing and turntablist flair. In 2018, Kaos was voted San Diego’s Best Open-Format DJ, and his signature bootleg remixes have even caught fire on national radio. In fact, Kaos is the on-air host of Sunburn Radio on Pitbull’s Globalization SiriusXM channel, beaming San Diego party vibes to millions weekly. This Friday, expect Kaos to bring that same level of energy to SideBar’s stage: think adrenaline-pumping drops, nostalgic throwbacks, and seamless mash-ups that send the upscale crowd into a frenzy. Under the club’s signature lights and amid glowing LEDs, his set will feel like a VIP rave – the luxury of SideBar colliding with Kaos’s raw, hometown heat. By midnight, the dance floor will be packed with partygoers, hands in the air and cocktails in hand, as Kaos proves why he’s a staple of San Diego’s nightlife scene.
Saturday, May 2 – Kevin Kon
Saturday night welcomes DJ Kevin Kon, an Orlando-born party-starter bringing East Coast swagger to SideBar. Kevin has made a name in Florida’s music scene as a high-energy entertainer and radio personality. His sets are a nonstop thrill ride – blending hip-hop, R&B, EDM, and pop with soulful flair. A longtime Mix 105.1 Orlando host, Kevin Kon’s on-air presence has translated into sold-out club shows up and down the coast (including headlining a big New Year’s Eve bash in San Francisco). On May 2, he’ll pour all that experience into San Diego’s crowd: expect feel-good R&B jams, danceable throwbacks, and the latest hits, all mixed with a radio-DJ polish. Kevin’s charismatic stage presence and genre-hopping skillset will keep the SideBar crowd moving, from smooth grooves to peak-hour bangers. His Saturday headliner spot is sure to embody SideBar’s upscale-meets-upbeat vibe – a luxurious club night pulsing with real-deal party energy.
Every night at SideBar comes with the venue’s signature mix of edgy glamour and high-octane fun. As one of San Diego’s top lounge-clubs, SideBar prides itself on “unforgettable experiences” with VIP bottle service and an immersive sound system.

Don’t miss these three epic nights of nonstop music, neon lights, and pure San Diego party magic.
