Lenny Kravitz, Sublime, and Alanis Morissette & More to Headline BeachLife Festival

BeachLife Festival, Southern California’s premier live music, art and culinary event, is back again for its sixth year taking over Redondo Beach’s picturesque waterfront May 2-4, 2025. Those that have attended previous years know the festival delivers a high-end experience and memorable performances from an eclectic group of legendary top talent and exciting inspired emerging artists spanning rock, indie, pop, jam, reggae and more. BeachLife 2025 will feature headlining sets from Lenny Kravitz, Sublime, and Alanis Morissette, as well as Train, O.A.R., Pretenders, CAKE, Mt. Joy, Jackson Browne, The Beach Boys and many more (full lineup listed below). 

Since launching in 2019, the festival has quickly established a reputation for combining the best of Southern California’s idyllic culture into a one-of-a-kind immersive experience with something for everyone. Beyond the incredible live music, the festival also features wide-ranging food and drink offerings from acclaimed chefs, art installations and onsite activations highlighting various brand-led interactive experiences, fan engagements and philanthropic, sustainable initiatives. 

Shares Allen Sanford, BeachLife Founder & Owner, “We are especially excited this year to announce what we believe is a truly unique lineup and experience in music festivals — curated not by genre, but by culture, vibe, and that feeling of enjoying the beachlife with friends. We have something for everyone, from world-recognized superstars to local celebrities, and every artist on this lineup has a reason and a story on how they connected with BeachLife Festival. Driven by our passion to share the BeachLife culture with the world, we hope to see all of you on the water in May for a truly special, unforgettable three days.” 

“We build experiences,” shares Sam Meyers, BeachLife Festival Director. “The music makes the most noise, but every fiber of our festival plays a role in maintaining, and building, our fan’s trust.”

The California Surf Club comprises two buildings–one serving as a public-facing restaurant/bar and the other a membership-based club, inclusive to all (day-rates are available)–connected by a beautiful sunset deck and garden. It’s a communal place to meet, network, and connect with likeminded individuals, experience exceptional food and drink, and take part in a social calendar which will be announced soon featuring fitness classes, master class discussions, intimate music listening events and more.
