The countdown to festival season has officially begun, and our favorite bi-annual gathering at Waterfront Park in San Diego just dropped a bombshell. CRSSD Festival has announced its return for Spring 2026, taking place March 14-15, and looking at this billing, it is shaping up to be a massive weekend.
If you’ve been to CRSSD, you know the drill: perfect Southern California weather, grassy dancefloors, stunning sunsets over the bay, and a mature crowd that knows their music. This year, the curators have outdone themselves, blending legendary heavyweights with the hottest rising stars in the underground.
CRSSD Festival Spring 2026 Lineup
The Palms: House Heaters
Over at the main stage, The Palms, the groove is going to be undeniable. Australian hitmaker Dom Dolla is set to bring the energy, alongside global heavyweights The Martinez Brothers and Brazilian superstar Vintage Culture.
But the real magic often lies in the depth of the roster. Keep your eyes on Maccabi House co-founder Mita Gami, the afro-infused selections of KILIMANJARO, and the infectious energy of sibling duo Shermanology. Whether you like your house deep, driving, or vocal-heavy, this lineup has every corner covered.
Ocean View: Melodic and Live
When the sun starts to dip below the horizon, the Ocean View stage is the place to be. Melodic mastermind Lane 8 is back to provide those emotional, hands-in-the-air moments we all crave. We’re also getting a vibe check from the visionary French duo Polo & Pan and the Grammy-nominated soundscapes of Tycho.
For a hit of nostalgia and synth-pop excellence, La Roux is on the bill, alongside indie-electronic pioneer Cut Copy. And for the experimental heads, the German innovators Modeselektor will be bringing their genre-bending sound to the waterfront.
City Steps: The Techno Sanctuary
Leading the charge is none other than Eric Prydz’s darker, techno-driven alias, Cirez D. If you haven’t experienced the mouseville sound live, prepare for a masterclass. Joining him is the undisputed queen of high-octane beats, Amelie Lens, and a rare treat: Collabs 3000, the joint project of techno titans Chris Liebing and Speedy J.
For those who like it fast and driving, we are getting a heavy dose of peak-time power with Space 92, Italian trailblazer Deborah De Luca, and the industrial sounds of Alignment. The City Steps stage is going to be relentless this year.
