BeachLife Festival 2026 hits the Redondo Beach waterfront May 1-3, and the lineup says everything. Duran Duran, James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, The Offspring, My Morning Jacket, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, The Chainsmokers, Grouplove, Peach Pit, Flipturn, and dozens more are converging on 239 N Harbor Drive for three days of music, food, and coastal California energy. This is Southern California’s biggest live music weekend.
Four stages run across all three days. The HighTide Stage presented by Fiji Airways anchors the weekend with headliners Duran Duran (Friday), The Offspring (Saturday), and James Taylor (Sunday). The LowTide Stage presented by Cove Soda delivers The Chainsmokers, Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, and My Morning Jacket on their respective nights. The RipTide Stage presented by LA Chargers and the SpeakEasy presented by STōK Cold Brew Coffee round out a schedule packed from early afternoon through late evening.
For those who can’t make it to Redondo Beach, BeachLife is livestreaming select performances for free at ions.com, presented by Music Gives to St. Jude Kids. Donations are encouraged, with all proceeds going directly toward supporting St. Jude families who never receive a bill for treatment, travel, housing, or food.
The festival experience goes well beyond the stages. The California Surf Club, the first-of-its-kind fine-dining membership club on the festival grounds, returns with Executive Chef Chase Carlson overseeing a gourmet dining experience with views over the LowTide stage and the Redondo Beach coast. Captain and Captain Plus ticketholders access the Captain’s Culinary Experience in the Captain’s Bungalow, featuring South Bay restaurants including Tin Roof Bistro, AttaGirl Hermosa Beach, and California Surf Club North Grill.
The beloved California Craft Brew Tent is back, with Embolden Beer Company serving as the official craft beer partner. New this year, the Aperol Garden brings a relaxed Italian-coast atmosphere to the grounds, while Cove Soda hosts the Cove Bar and Cove Soda Shoppe at the LowTide Stage. STōK Cold Brew Coffee rolls in with a custom vintage cold brew truck, games, and giveaways at the SpeakEasy Stage.
New partners joining the 2026 festival include Fiji Airways, whose on-site Kava Bar celebrates authentic Fijian culture, along with a chance to win a trip for two to Fiji. Citizens Private Bank joins as the official financial services partner, hosting VIP ticket holders on the High Tide VIP Deck. Aboard brings its reimagined all-new RV for an exclusive first look. Returning partners include Skechers, DAOU, Hendrick’s Gin, Jack Daniel’s, Tequila Herradura, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, and more.
