Tickets are now on sale for the 2026 BeachLife Festival, bringing a diverse lineup of iconic and emerging artists to Redondo Beach, California, from May 1-3. The festival promises a vibrant celebration of music, coastal culture, and the laid-back Southern California lifestyle.
The BeachLife Festival has quickly become a standout event since its launch in 2019, attracting over 35,000 attendees last year to experience performances by artists like Lenny Kravitz, Sublime, and Alanis Morissette. This year’s iteration builds on that momentum with a headlining roster featuring Duran Duran, The Offspring, and James Taylor and His All-Star Band.
Beyond the headliners, the festival boasts an impressive array of talent, including The Chainsmokers, My Morning Jacket, Slightly Stoopid, Sheryl Crow, Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Grouplove, Peach Pit, Sugar Ray, and Switchfoot, among others.
“We were lucky enough to grow up in Southern California on the beach, surfing, hanging out with sand between our toes, vibing with friends and living the beach life,” says Beach Life Founder and Owner Allen Sandford. “Our culture celebrates the power and the beauty of the ocean and coastal resources – our waves, wind, smell of sea salt, beaches, sand, and wildlife that call this their home.”
A Lineup for Every Music Fan
SPIN magazine recently highlighted five acts poised to deliver unforgettable performances at BeachLife ’26. First on the list is Duran Duran, lauded for their enduring relevance over a 45-year career. The publication notes that frontman Simon Le Bon continues to deliver captivating performances, backed by the band’s signature rhythms and synth sounds.
For fans of high-energy rock, The Offspring are set to ignite the stage with their fast-paced and humorous show. SPIN emphasizes the band’s continued energy and a setlist packed with hits like “Come Out and Play,” “Gotta Get Away,” and “Self-Esteem.”
Slightly Stoopid’s genre-bending fusion of reggae, rock, funk, hip-hop, blues, and ska is described as a perfect match for the festival’s laid-back vibe. The San Diego-based band is known for their energetic live shows and sing-along anthems.
James Taylor and His All-Star Band promise an intimate experience, even against the backdrop of the shoreline. SPIN highlights Taylor’s timeless songbook, including classics like “Carolina in My Mind” and “Fire and Rain,” and the emotional depth of his performances.
Rounding out the top five is My Morning Jacket, praised for their evolving sound and immersive live shows. The band’s tenth studio album, “is,” released last year, has solidified their position as one of America’s finest rock bands.
