Desert Daze Tickets

Passes are available for a single day (starting at $99) or for the whole weekend (starting at $289). Camping, parking, and upgrades are also available, so get your tickets before they’re gone. 

Musical performances by the Wu-Tang Clan, The Flaming Lips, Ween, and Devo take center stage at the festival, while dozens of other artists, Q&As, immersive art, and film screenings keep the entertainment going throughout the weekend. Desert Daze 2019 offers performances on multiple stages, including a stage on the beach, one on the lawn, one in the campgrounds, and one large tent stage.

Also take advantage of the Mystic Bazaar in the Camping Village, where you can practice yoga, soak in sound baths, join a class or plant walk, and experience everything Desert Daze has in store. This unique festival has become a Southern California staple for a reason, and you won’t want to skip out on it.
