THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO WELCOME THE SPRING SEASON — than with back-to-back days of live music along the coast. CRSSD Festival returns to impress with an exciting lineup featuring some of the most admired electronic acts today. 

Often referred to as the West Coast’s most celebrated house and techno festival, the locally beloved music weekend occurs bi-annually and is routinely sold out by community-oriented fans who cannot wait to immerse themselves in great sounds and SoCal sunshine. The event will take over the picture-perfect San Diego Waterfront Park from March 4–5, inviting music lovers from all over. 

CRSSD Festival is known for bringing forward-thinking and top tier international talent to the West Coast, and this March 2023 lineup is no different. The massively celebrated electronic duo ODESZA — known for their groundbreaking and immersive live performances — is set to headline the festival, but the excitement does not end there. Among the highly anticipated list of acts include the timeless vibrance of Polo & Pan, Lane 8, and hard techno gem Deborah De Luca.

Some non-traditional wild card acts, such as singer-songwriter Luna Li and psychedelic group CARRÉ, will also make an appearance at the three-stage festival.
