The much-anticipated BeachLife Festival is back again in Redondo Beach from May 2-4, 2025, promising another unforgettable weekend of live music, vibrant art, and exceptional culinary experiences. Known as Southern California’s premier waterfront event, the festival has gained a stellar reputation for blending legendary performances with coastal vibes, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Pacific Ocean.
A Stellar Lineup of Headliners
The sixth annual festival boasts a remarkable lineup that spans rock, indie, reggae, pop, and more. This year’s headliners include the iconic Lenny Kravitz, Sublime, and Alanis Morissette, joined by an impressive roster of artists such as Train, O.A.R., Pretenders, CAKE, Mt. Joy, Jackson Browne, The Beach Boys, Aloe Blacc, and many more.
Shares Allen Sanford, BeachLife Founder & Owner, “We are especially excited this year to announce what we believe is a truly unique lineup and experience in music festivals — curated not by genre, but by culture, vibe, and that feeling of enjoying the beachlife with friends. We have something for everyone, from world-recognized superstars to local celebrities, and every artist on this lineup has a reason and a story on how they connected with BeachLife Festival. Driven by our passion to share the BeachLife culture with the world, we hope to see all of you on the water in May for a truly special, unforgettable three days.”
“We build experiences,” shares Sam Meyers, BeachLife Festival Director. “The music makes the most noise, but every fiber of our festival plays a role in maintaining, and building, our fan’s trust.”
