SAN DIEGO–San Diego shamROCK, Southern California’s favorite Saint Patrick’s Day celebration is back March 17 at the Gaslamp Quarter in downtown San Diego.

Rolling out over 80,000 square feet of bright green astro-turf, event organizers transform the streets of the historic Gaslamp Quarter into an emerald colored paradise for lads and lasses to get lucky and party the night away.

Championed for its diverse lineup each year, the 2017 shamROCK lineup boasts a wide range of talented musicians and artists that will have party goers showing off their best jig and shaking their clovers. For the hip hop heads, shamROCK has a full lineup of incredible talent on the Pint Stage including special guest performance by rap star MIMS (“This Is Why I’m Hot”,” Like This”) who will share the stage with KOAS, Cheyenne Giles, Brett Bodley, Ayla Simone, and Mkey. On the Clover Stage the bass will be booming with sets by Producer/DJ Powerhouse, Styles and Complete along with Wearetreo, Escobar, Dyluxe, and Sulvida. The Pub Stage will once again feature a jam packed lineup of Irish Punk and Irish Rock bands, featuring Black Irish Texas, The McNaughstys, Drunken Lullabies, Brick Top Blaggers, and the Down’s Family.

Keeping true to its block party roots, this 21 and up event features a huge pub in the streets to serve up an endless flow of green Bud Light beer, plenty of craft beer selections, and Jameson Irish Whiskey libations that will have party-goers shouting Sláinte (cheers!) well into the wee hours of the night.
