The 2025 BeachLife Festival isn’t just an event—it’s a vibe. From May 2-4, Redondo Beach will transform into the ultimate playground for music lovers, foodies, and anyone looking to soak up that sweet Southern California lifestyle.
Need convincing? Here are ten reasons why BeachLife 2025 is a must:
(although you’ll only need the first three!)
1. A Lineup That’s Too Good to Miss
This year’s lineup is pure fire! Where else can you catch Lenny Kravitz, Sublime, and Alanis Morissette on the same weekend? Add in legends like The Beach Boys, Pretenders, and Jackson Browne, plus acoustic sets from punk royalty (Milo Aukerman, Jim Lindberg, and Greg Graffin), and you’ve got a festival that caters to every music taste. It’s not just headliners either—discover gems like Skip Marley, Digable Planets, and local heroes Tomorrows Bad Seeds.
2. Sublime + Long Beach Dub Allstars: A Historic First
History will be made as Sublime and Long Beach Dub Allstars take the stage together for the first time ever. For fans of reggae, ska, and that iconic Long Beach sound, this is a moment you’ll be telling your grandkids about.
3. Sun, Surf, and Stunning Views
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Redondo Beach waterfront, BeachLife is a feast for the senses. Picture yourself with your toes in the sand, a cool drink in hand, and the ocean breeze in your hair as live music fills the air. It’s a postcard-worthy setting that takes the festival experience to the next level.
4. The California Surf Club
This year marks the debut of the California Surf Club, a luxury fine-dining and membership experience that’s the epitome of coastal cool. Festival-goers with the new Captain’s Plus Pass can enjoy gourmet cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, and private views of the main stage—all while basking in the good vibes of a surf-inspired oasis.
5. Foodies Rejoice
Calling all culinary adventurers! BeachLife is serving up an incredible selection of eats, from local food trucks to celebrity chef-crafted dishes. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options ensure everyone can dig in. Don’t forget to explore the craft cocktails, boutique wine selections, and premium beer gardens for the ultimate flavor pairing.
6. Feel-Good Vibes
BeachLife isn’t just about having a good time—it’s about doing good, too. The festival supports local and national nonprofits like Heal the Bay and the Surfrider Foundation through a silent auction and other philanthropic initiatives. When you party at BeachLife, you’re helping preserve the oceans and beaches that make this festival so special.
7. It’s a Festival for Everyone
Whether you’re a seasoned festival veteran, a first-time attendee, or bringing the kids (ages 6 and under get in free!), BeachLife has something for everyone. Chill out in General Admission, or splurge on VIP perks with sidestage views and luxury lounges. Want to go all out? Snag a Private Cabana Suite for the ultimate exclusive experience.
8. Three Days, Four Stages, Unlimited Fun
With four stages of live music, interactive art installations, boutique shopping, and brand activations, there’s never a dull moment at BeachLife. Wander the festival grounds, discover your next favorite band, or strike a pose at one of the many photo-worthy spots.
9. Skip FOMO – Tickets Are Selling Fast!
With 3-day passes starting at just $409, plus flexible single-day options, there’s no excuse to miss out. Feeling fancy? Check out premium options like the Captain’s Pass or Admiral Pass, which even includes boat mooring (yes, really).
10. It’s More Than a Festival—It’s a Lifestyle
As co-founder Allen Sanford puts it: “Our culture celebrates the power and beauty of the ocean and coastal resources—our waves, wind, smell of sea salt, and wildlife.” BeachLife isn’t just a weekend; it’s a celebration of what makes Southern California magical.
