BeachLife Festival returns to Southern California’s waterfront May 1-3 with one of its biggest lineups yet. The three-day coastal celebration takes over Redondo Beach once again, bringing together music, food, art, and ocean culture in a setting that has quickly become one of the most distinctive festival experiences in the country.
This year’s lineup is stacked from top to bottom. Duran Duran, The Offspring, and James Taylor and His All-Star Band headline the weekend, joined by a diverse roster that includes The Chainsmokers, My Morning Jacket, Slightly Stoopid, Sheryl Crow, Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Grouplove, and Peach Pit.
Since launching in 2019, BeachLife has carved out a reputation as a festival that blends laid-back California energy with serious musical firepower. The lineup stretches across rock, indie, pop, reggae, jam, and alternative sounds, creating a weekend soundtrack that mirrors the culture of the South Bay itself.
Festival founder Allen Sanford explains the spirit behind the event: “BeachLife’s grateful for the opportunity to continue curating music, food, and lifestyle experiences that celebrate the beach culture of Southern California. This year’s lineup is once again highlighted by a special collection of artists and bands who’ve helped shape the soundtrack of our California lifestyle…from its early days to today.”
Music is only part of the draw. BeachLife also delivers a strong culinary program, art installations, brand activations, and premium experiences throughout the grounds. Executive Chef Chase Carlson oversees the elevated dining experience inside the California Surf Club, while the Captain’s Culinary Experience adds another high-end option for festivalgoers looking to pair great music with standout cuisine.
