Southern California’s signature beachfront music, art, and culinary festival is officially back. BeachLife Festival 2026 will return to the Redondo Beach waterfront May 1–3, 2026, marking its seventh year with a lineup that spans generations, genres, and moods, set against the Pacific Ocean.
This year’s headliners read like a greatest-hits soundtrack to coastal California living: Duran Duran, The Offspring, and James Taylor with his All-Star Band anchor the weekend, joined by major crowd favorites including The Chainsmokers, My Morning Jacket, Slightly Stoopid, Sheryl Crow, Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Grouplove, Peach Pit, and many more.
A Festival Built on Southern California Culture
Since launching in 2019, BeachLife has carved out a reputation as more than just a music festival. It’s a full weekend immersed in Southern California’s beach culture, welcoming, laid-back, and thoughtfully curated. Alongside live performances across multiple stages, the festival blends elevated food and drink, art installations, interactive brand activations, boutique shopping, games, and sustainability-forward initiatives throughout the grounds.
Last year’s BeachLife drew more than 35,000 attendees and delivered standout performances from Lenny Kravitz, Sublime, Alanis Morissette, Train, O.A.R., Pretenders, CAKE, Mt. Joy, Jackson Browne, and The Beach Boys (with special guest John Stamos), reinforcing the festival’s ability to balance legacy artists with contemporary favorites across rock, indie, pop, jam, and reggae.
