Sun God prep: memorize 'Babydoll'

The UCSD Guardian’s new May bucket list tells students to get ready for Sun God Festival by cramming artist discographies before the show. (ucsdguardian.org) The article, published April 27, names Dominic Fike, Mike Sherm, and MICO as the artists worth brushing up on ahead of the festival. (ucsdguardian.org) It gets more specific with Fike: memorize the lyrics to “Babydoll,” the guide says, so you can scream along with the crowd. (ucsdguardian.org) That advice lines up with UC San Diego’s official Sun God Festival site, which lists Dominic Fike as the 2026 headliner and MICO and Mike Sherm among the billed acts. (sgf.ucsd.edu 1) (sgf.ucsd.edu 2) The official festival homepage says Sun God 2026 will take place on May 2 and calls it UC San Diego’s largest annual music festival. (sgf.ucsd.edu) The Guardian’s bucket list packages that concert prep with other early-May campus and San Diego rituals, including a swim at Canyonview Aquatic Center. (ucsdguardian.org) It also recommends making flower crowns with bouquets from Trader Joe’s or Target, taking a Mother’s Day brunch trip to La Jolla Cove, and catching sunset at Sunset Seat in Del Mar. (ucsdguardian.org) The same list points students to Balboa Park’s 41st annual Ethnic Food Fair on May 2 and 3, tying Sun God weekend to a broader set of local outings. (ucsdguardian.org) Sun God tickets have already been a pressure point on campus: a separate UCSD Guardian report published April 27 said about 13% of roughly 80 surveyed students who wanted to attend could not get tickets. (ucsdguardian.org) So the “Babydoll” homework lands as part playlist tip, part survival guide for one of the busiest weekends in the UC San Diego spring quarter. (ucsdguardian.org) (sgf.ucsd.edu)
