California’s coolest oceanfront music festival is serving up a three-course meal of rock legends next May. BeachLife Festival just dropped its 2025 lineup, and it’s the musical equivalent of finding extra fries at the bottom of your takeout bag.
Redondo Beach will transform into a sun-soaked concert venue May 2-4, with Lenny Kravitz kicking things off Friday. His blend of funk and rock should pair nicely with ocean breezes. Saturday belongs to Sublime, while Sunday closes with Alanis Morissette, whose angst-filled anthems might finally answer whether it’s ironic to sing about irony at the beach.
Festival Founder Highlights Unique Lineup
“We are especially excited this year to announce what we believe is a truly unique lineup,” stated festival founder Allen Sanford in the official announcement. The enthusiasm in his statement reflects the festival’s growing profile on the Southern California music scene.
Beyond the headliners, the lineup includes Aloe Blacc. BeachLife Festival’s 2025 artist lineup features Train, Skip Marley, and Cake. In a twist that has millennials buzzing, The Beach Boys will perform with John Stamos. (Anyone else remember his Full House character’s obsession with them? The casting director deserves a raise.)
Legendary Songwriter Rounds Out Star-Studded Bill
Jackson Browne rounds out the bill, adding serious songwriter cred to the weekend’s sandy soundtrack.
BeachLife has quickly established itself as a standout festival experience, combining world-class music with the unique atmosphere that only a beachfront setting can provide. Previous festivals have featured notable performances that showcase the venue’s distinctive oceanside charm.
Ticket Options Selling Fast
When it comes to getting tickets, VIP and Admiral passes have already sold out completely. General admission tickets remain at $409 for the weekend, with single-day passes at $189.
For those who treat festival season with the strategic intensity of someone planning a heist in an Ocean’s Eleven movie, Captain tier tickets offer the deluxe package. At $3,299 for three days, these include front-row access, a private bungalow, hosted drinks, and artist meet-and-greets. You know how it feels when the restaurant host walks you past the waiting crowd to your reserved table? That energy.
Intimate Beach Experience Sets Festival Apart
Unlike giant corporate festivals where you need a map and emergency contact plan just to find your friends, BeachLife offers an intimate oceanfront setting. Attendees can hear the music while feeling sand between their toes.
As creative director of the festival and Pennywise frontman, Jim Lindberg has emphasized the unique beach culture that defines the event. The festival experience combines music with the natural oceanfront environment in ways other venues simply cannot match. No worries. You won’t have to worry about it being one of the ten worst disasters. We think.
Sustainability and Culinary Highlights
The festival features foodie-approved chef pop-ups serving sustainable seafood, art installations built from reclaimed ocean plastic, and zero-waste initiatives. BeachLife isn’t just about music—it’s equally focused on environmental awareness.
Grab tickets on the festival’s official website before they vanish. The remaining passes will probably disappear faster than your motivation to stay at a party after someone suggests playing Monopoly.
