Driving the news: Bayfest kicks things off Saturday at downtown's Waterfront Park and is headlined by Sublime, now fronted by San Diego native Jakob Nowel, son of the late Bradley Nowel.

• Other performers include hip-hop duo Atmosphere, reggae superstar Barrington Levy and ska punk standby Goldfinger.

What's next: The inaugural Endless Sunsets on Aug. 3 is also at Waterfront Park and headlined by San Diego's own Thee Sacred Souls. It's the only local appearance for the burgeoning soul stars ahead of their new album's Oct. 4 release date.
