The three-day Eddie Vedder-curated music and art festival returns to Dana Point’s Doheny State Beach from September 29th – Oct 1st, 2023 for its seventh year.
Every fall for the past seven years, Doheny State Beach is where music lovers unite for the highly-anticipated Ohana Festival. The annual event is set to take place from September 29th to October 1st in the picturesque town of Dana Point, California, and this year’s lineup is one for the books. Foo Fighters, The Killers, and Eddie Vedder himself are set to headline. The Chicks, Haim, Father John Misty, Japanese Breakfast, Suki Waterhouse, The War On Drugs, and many more are set to hit the stage at the festival this fall.
Also returning will be The Cove, an area within the festival where festival-goers can relax, enjoy, and learn. An area that combines music with activism, featuring panel discussions from leading conservationists, environmentalists, researchers, and professional surfers. The Cove also features a Charles R. Adler-curated art gallery that showcases a collection of pieces themed around music, surf, skate, and activism.
The daily lineup is solid. Friday brings The Killers to headline the festival, along with Haim, Father John Misty, and Japanese Breakfast. Saturday has Eddie Vedder and his all-star band, The Chicks, and The War On Drugs. Sunday sees the welcomed and highly-anticipated return of Foo Fighters to Southern California along with Pretenders, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and The Back Seat Lovers.
The musical lineup doesn’t stop there. Ohana Festival and Eddie Vedder have curated an impressive array of supporting acts that will be performing throughout the three-day festival.
In addition to the live music performances, the festival will also feature a variety of food vendors, craft beer, and wine selections from local establishments, as well as a number of interactive art installations.
