History
Frontwave Arena is the first large multi-purpose indoor entertainment venue in the North County area of San Diego County. In 2022, a 10-year naming rights agreement with Oceanside-headquartered Frontwave Credit Union was announced, giving the arena its official name.[4]
The arena opened on September 16, 2024, for the Gold Over America Tour.[5] On October 5, the arena held its inaugural concert headlined by Cake.[6] On October 8, the Los Angeles Clippers held the arena’s first-ever basketball game, where they defeated the visiting Brooklyn Nets 115–106 in the preseason.[7]
