CRSSD Festival has revealed the full artist lineup for its Spring 2026 edition, set for March 14–15, 2026 at Waterfront Park in San Diego. Long regarded as one of North America’s most trusted tastemakers in electronic music, the festival returns with a forward-leaning mix of global stars, underground innovators, and coastal California energy.
Known for its tight curation and immersive production, CRSSD has carved out a niche as a boutique festival with world-class standards. Its setting—sunlight, ocean air, and the panoramic expanse of the Pacific—creates a backdrop that elevates both the artistry and the atmosphere, making each set feel intimate despite the festival’s scale.
This year’s lineup continues the tradition of pushing boundaries. Among the biggest draws are Eric Prydz performing as Cirez D, Australian hitmaker Dom Dolla, house titans The Martinez Brothers, Brazilian favorite Vintage Culture, melodic icon Lane 8, techno powerhouse Amelie Lens, and French visionaries Polo & Pan.
Cross-genre standouts include TOKiMONSTA, GRAMMY nominee Tycho, indie-electronic favorites Cut Copy, funk-driven collective Franc Moody, and German experimental duo Modeselektor. The bill also welcomes synth-pop pioneer La Roux and rising electronic names Zimmer90, it’s murph, jigitz, and Nimino.
House music will take center stage with sets from UK stylist Ben Sterling, Maccabi House co-founder Mita Gami, garage-leaning duo Obskür, Afro-inspired selector KILIMANJARO, and Mellow Circus founder Brunello. They’re joined by fast-rising favorite HoneyLuv, next-gen talent Omar+, Australian party-starter Odd Mob, Dutch staple Franky Rizardo, sibling duo Shermanology, and breakout sensation It’s Murph, showcasing the full spectrum of global house.
Techno fans will find plenty to explore—from the precision and intensity of Collabs 3000 (Chris Liebing + Speedy J), to Italian standout Deborah De Luca, French force Space 92, Swedish favorite Ida Engberg, and Berlin’s own Clara Cuvé. The heavier edge of the genre continues with Franck, Alignment, Polygonia, bullet tooth, and Silva Bumpa, each bringing their unique take on techno’s harder contours.
Waterfront Park remains an essential part of the festival’s identity. With views of the bay, palm-lined lawns, and breezy open-air staging, the venue’s three areas—Ocean View, City Steps, and The Palms—guide fans through a range of moods and sounds from day until dusk.
Beyond the music, CRSSD enhances the experience with curated dining, craft cocktails, interactive photo moments, and the fan-favorite CRSSD Lab, where music lovers dig through vinyl selections and explore the intersection of sound, culture, and technology.
When the main stages wind down, CRSSD After Dark takes over clubs and cultural venues across San Diego, offering intimate late-night sets from festival artists and special guests. More details on the afterparty programming will arrive closer to the event.
