Scenestar

Another great local music festival is coming our way, Scenestar readers! Besides the festivals currently scheduled to take place at Brookside at the Rose Bowl, Goldenvoice is heading to the beaches of Santa Monica for its newest festival, Ocean Way Festival, set for Saturday, September 26, and Sunday, September 27.

Ocean Way Festival will feature headlining sets by The Killers and Olivia Dean. Other acts scheduled to perform over two days at Ocean Way Festival include 54 Ultra, Alvvays, Austin Millz, BLOND:ISH, Carlita, Coco & Breezy, DJ Harvey, Durand Jones & The Indications, EREZ, Good Neighbours, Heidi Lawden, Hiatus Kaiyote, Hot Chip (DJ Set), Jack White, Khruangbin, Nala, Poolside, SG Lewis, Sublime, Vandelux, and more.

Ocean Way Festival is designed from the ground up as a sustainable, transit-first festival experience. There is no on-site parking by design as LA Metro’s E Line terminates steps from the festival entrance, Big Blue Bus and shuttle service are available, and bike valet and micro-mobility options are built into the experience. Some official off-site parking options also exist that include complimentary shuttle passes available through Goldenvoice.

Tickets for this all-ages music festival will go on sale Thursday, July 23, at 11 a.m. PDT via the festival ticketing site with tiered pricing starting at $399 to $459 each (all in pricing) for 2-day general admission ($229 to $269 each for single-day passes) and $749 to $799 each (all in pricing) for Premium Pit passes ($449 to $499 each for single-day passes).

There’s also an upscale Proper Beach Club VIP option, a beachfront hospitality experience created in partnership with Proper Hotels, featuring a premiere lounge designed by Kelly Wearstler Studio. Set within the festival grounds, the Beach Club offers panoramic views of the Main Stage where The Killers and Olivia Dean will perform, as well as views of the Pacific Ocean, complimentary all-day dining and premium beverages, and private spaces designed for an exceptional festival experience.
