Holo Holo Music Festival is officially heading back to California in 2026—and it’s coming in hot with two stacked weekends celebrating island music, reggae culture, and community connection. The beloved festival, produced by Good Vibez Presents, brings its trademark aloha energy to Irvine on April 18 and San Jose on April 25, each date offering its own curated lineup of heavyweight artists and local favorites.
Since its debut, Holo Holo has carved out a distinct identity on the West Coast festival circuit—not just as a gathering for island-reggae fans, but as a cultural touchstone where generations meet on shared ground. The 2026 edition doubles down on that ethos with two unique bills.
In Irvine, fans will catch Grammy-winning reggae giants SOJA, island mainstays The Green, breakout star Iam Tongi, New Zealand groove-makers Sons of Zion, and longtime favorites Three Plus, Joseph Soul, and Bo Napoleon, with Western Conference returning as hosts. One week later in San Jose, Holo Holo shifts the spotlight to another wave of top-tier talent: Common Kings, The Green (pulling double duty), Iam Tongi, Three Plus, Mike Love, Eli-Mac, and Jordan T, once again guided by the Western Conference crew.
For festival co-founder Dan Sheehan, the mission remains unchanged—even as the brand continues to expand across the West Coast.
“What’s always mattered most to us is the people, the fans, the artists, and the shared experience that happens when everyone comes together,” Sheehan says. “As Holo Holo continues to grow, our focus remains on the music, the culture, and creating moments that feel genuine, welcoming, and unforgettable.”
That commitment shows. Over the past several years, Holo Holo has become a go-to destination event for fans seeking more than just a festival—they’re seeking togetherness. The 2026 chapter promises immersive environments, community-driven activations, and the unmistakable warmth that has made Holo Holo one of the most anticipated island-reggae gatherings on the mainland.
Tickets for both dates go on sale Friday, December 12 at 10 a.m. PT at holoholofestival.com, and if past years are any indicator, the early-bird rush will be serious.
