2009 San Diego Street Scene is keeping us on our toes with a weekly evolving entertainment lineup that just keeps getting better and better. This Street Scene update includes the newly released day divide and a sad goodbye, yet awesome addition, to the lineup.

In case you’ve missed the enthusiastic promotions blasting from all in-the-know outlets, Street Scene is once again returning to its roots in the streets of East Village on Friday, August 28th and Saturday, August 29th from 4pm to Midnight. Over this past month, Street Scene has continued to add more value to your buck with the announcements of new entertainers to play with headliners the Black Eyed Peas and M.I.A. including Busta Rhymes, The Faint, Nortec Collective Bostich + Fussible, Delta Spirit, The Knux, Dungen, Gram Rabbit, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue and Dirty Sweet. 

Sad Goodbye: Street Scene is disappointed to confirm the cancellation of the Beastie Boys performance. We’re sad to announce that Adam "MCA" Yauch of Beastie Boys was diagnosed as having a cancerous tumor. Luckily it was caught early, is localized in one area, and is considered very treatable. Beastie Boys can no longer perform in San Diego. Details here. 

Awesome Addition: Brace yourself … Public Enemy is officially the newest headliner to Street Scene. That’s right, Flaaaavor Flaaaaaaaav will be arriving in San Diego, along with the rest of the PE Crew, just in time for Street Scene. Get excited.

Day Divide: Street Scene has a way of playing with our emotions, as it holds out on the day divide until about a month in advance of the show. The time has come for Street Scene to release what groups will be performing on what day, so you can make sure to buy the right ticket packages. Check out the band line-up per day for 2009 Street Scene.
