Now that several major music festivals in California have already unveiled their plans for 2025 and the calendar has started to fill up this spring, it feels like festival season is just around the corner.

So, why not throw another one on your itinerary?

Following a sold-out affair that saw Kaytranada, J.I.D, Weezer, Dominic Fike, Beck, Mt. Joy and more take the stage last year, Wonderfront Festival is primed for a big return to San Diego this May.

The three-day event has put together another eclectic lineup of artists, and its fourth edition in the last seven years won’t be lacking in star power with Peggy Gou, Daniel Caesar, Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals, Foster the People, Khruangbin, Jason Mraz and Gary Clark Jr. listed in the biggest font.

Below the top line are plenty of other top-notch acts to catch, including Duke Dumont, Janelle Monáe, The Fray, Isaiah Rashad, Portugal. The Man, 4 Non Blondes, Overmono, SiR, Julien Baker & Torres, Freddie Gibbs, Neon Trees, Leon Thomas, STRFKR, La Lom, Cavetown, Magdalena Bay, Allen Stone, Jordan Ward, Peter Cat Recording Co., Vacations, DRAMA, Orion Sun, Donovan Frankenreiter, Erick the Architect, EKKSTACY, Jalen Ngonda and a whole lot more. Peep the poster above to see who else has been booked to perform.

We would be remiss to also mention there’s a TBA spot on Sunday … who will it be? We have no idea but hope to follow up here with an update once we know more.

In the meantime, those who are interested in purchasing three-day or single-day GA tickets for $375 or $165, respectively, can head here with the presale beginning a couple of days before the public sale on Friday, February 14th. GA+ admission will also be available for $599 (three-day) and $275 (single-day), with VIP passes priced at $899 (three-day) and $399 (single-day).

As the weather warms up in SoCal, this is one fest you won’t want to overlook!

Ohana Festival reveals updated 2021 lineup with Brandi Carlile, Spoon, Black Pumas & more

Ohana Festival - 2021 lineup

Ohana Festival //
Doheny State Beach – Dana Point, CA
September 24th-26th, 2021 //

Oh how we have missed you, live music! If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything over the past 15 months, it’s that the concert experience should never be taken for granted.

But with U.S. vaccinations increasing and summer right around the corner, music festivals are preparing to make their return all over the country, including up and down California, which has the lowest COVID-19 infection rate in the country now.

So why not escape to Doheny State Beach for a long weekend this September where you can rock out to Pearl Jam, Eddie Vedder and Kings of Leon at Ohana Festival?

The three-day event founded by Vedder five years ago had already announced a 2020 lineup just days before the festival circuit was quickly shut down and now it has updated that roster, swapping in Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile, indie-rock veterans Spoon, psych-soul duo Black Pumas, LA punk rockers The Regrettes, Long Beach’s very own Cold War Kids, Salt Lake City four-piece The Backseat Lovers and TikTok sensation Sky McCreery for originally announced acts like The Pretenders, Dermot Kennedy, EOB, Broken Social Scene, Gangs of Youth, Inhaler and Ethan Gruska.

As you can see from the poster above, Ohana Fest has delivered another largely rock-leaning bill after an excellent showing in 2019 headlined by The Strokes, Vedder and Red Hot Chili Peppers, but this year also boasts one of its strongest undercards with My Morning Jacket, Maggie Rogers, Sharon Van Etten, Durand Jones & The Indications, Mac Demarco, Wild Belle and Real Estate all worthy of catching down in Dana Point.

UPDATE (September 23rd): Just a little more than 24 hours before they were supposed to take the stage, Kings of Leon have canceled their headlining performance on Friday due to a family emergency. In their absence, My Morning Jacket will play an extended set and Vedder will close out the fest’s first day with an additional appearance.

Three-day GA and Sunday single-day tickets are already sold out, but single-day tickets for Friday and Saturday can still be purchased here for $138.50 plus fees. Don’t wait before it’s too late, Ohana fam!
