Ocean Way Festival (Courtesy of Ocean Way Festival)<\/span><\/p>\n Goldenvoice<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Santa Monica is about to get cooler! <\/p>\n Goldenvoice<\/a>, the producers behind Coachella <\/a>and Stagecoach<\/a>, has just announced Ocean Way Festival, a new two-day music festival on the beaches of Santa Monica on September 26 and 27. <\/p>\n The lineup they\u2019ve announced is no joke. As the first major music festival in Santa Monica, Ocean Way Festival is bringing the big guns with The Killers and Grammy\u2019srecent Best New Artist Olivia Dean as headliners, alongside Jack White, Khruangbin, Sublime, Durand Jones and the Indications, Alvvays, SG Lewis, 54 Ultra, Hiatus Kaiyote, BLOND:ISH, Poolside, Hot Chip DJs, and more performing across two nights. <\/p>\n With the iconic Santa Monica Pier framing the main stage, Ocean Way Festival brings together rock, indie, soul, house, and more across two stages for two full days. The festival has received full support from the City of Santa Monica and was christened with the name of the street, Ocean Way, where Allen Sides founded Ocean Way Recording Studios more than 40 years ago. <\/p>\n \u201cSanta Monica has an incredible music history, and Goldenvoice has been fortunate to be part of that story,\u201d said Nic Adler, VP Regional Festivals, Goldenvoice, in a press statement. \u201cFrom legendary shows at the Civic Auditorium to the origins of Ocean Way Recording just steps from the beach, there\u2019s a creative legacy here that\u2019s unlike anywhere else. Ocean Way Festival is our opportunity to celebrate that history while building something that feels authentically Santa Monica for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n The City of Santa Monica has been seeking to develop the Ocean Way Festival as part of its $60M+ Realignment Plan and has chosen Goldenvoice to produce it. The festival serves as a cultural anchor of \u2018The Sandbox on the Beach,\u2019 the city\u2019s new beachfront district for major civic events and gatherings, alongside FIFA World Cup 2026, Super Bowl LXI, and the LA28 Olympics and Paralympics activations. <\/p>\n \u201cSanta Monica is in the middle of a renaissance,\u201d says Santa Monica\u2019s Mayor Caroline Torosis. \u201cThe city is welcoming the world to its shores, and Ocean Way Festival is how we\u2019re making sure our own community is at the center of it.\u201d<\/p>\n Leading up to the festival, there will be free events and activities throughout Santa Monica, including free concerts, beach cleanups, leadership programs for local high school and college students, youth surf and water safety programming, and local business partnerships.<\/p>\n (Courtesy of Ocean Way Festival)<\/span><\/p>\n Goldenvoice<\/small><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n The Ocean Way Festival will be held on Santa Monica beach on Saturday, September 26, from noon – 11 pm, and Sunday, September 27, from noon – 11 pm. <\/p>\n \u201cThe Sandbox\u201d is the beach area between the Santa Monica Pier and Bay Street. The Pier Event Deck is also being utilized for this event.
