Desert Daze, the long-running alternative and psych-rock festival centered at Lake Perris, California, has revealed their impressive 2024 lineup, with Jack White, Cigarettes After Sex, Alex G, The Mars Volta, Thundercat, and Fleet Foxes topping the bill.
The festival goes down across four days on Moreno Beach in Lake Perris from October 10th to October 13th. This year’s edition will be the festival’s first since 2022 — Desert Daze announced last year that 2023 would be a fallow year, and they’d resume in 2024.
Other notable acts at Desert Daze 2024 include Liz Phair, 100 gecs, Sleep, De La Soul, Marc Rebillet, The Kills, DIIV, Beach Fossils, Unwound, Power Trip, Floating Points, Danny Brown, Low’s Alan Sparhawk, Wisp, Hinds, Sasami, and many more. Also set to play special album play-throughs are Death From Above 1979 (playing their 2004 album You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine), and Temples (playing their 2014 debut Sun Structures).
Meanwhile, Los Angeles recording studio, event space, and hotel Gold Diggers are curating a special “In the Desert” showcase for the festival, featuring Makaya McCraven, Tortoise’s Jeff Parker, and several others. Bikini Kill and Le Tigre’s Kathleen Hanna will also read an excerpt from her memoir Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk in conversation with At the Drive-In and The Mars Volta’s Cedric Bixler-Zivala, and David Lynch will appear for something called “Remote Midnight Messages.”
Weekend passes, as well as camping and parking passes, go on-sale on Friday, July 26th at 10:00 a.m. PST via Desert Daze’s website.
