CRSSD Festival is gearing up for a major return to San Diego’s Waterfront Park on March 14–15, 2026 — once again cementing its status as one of North America’s most celebrated electronic music experiences. Known for booking artists who push the sound forward while embracing California’s coastal spirit, the festival has unveiled a Spring lineup that blends global icons with the genre’s most compelling new innovators.
From its earliest editions, CRSSD has mastered the art of balance — pairing world-class production with a setting that feels laid-back and intimately connected with its fans. It’s the kind of festival where the biggest names in house and techno soundtrack a golden-hour skyline, ocean air rolling through every beat.
This year’s lineup is a testament to CRSSD’s future-focused programming. Ticket holders can expect a standout performance from Eric Prydz’s darker techno alias Cirez D, plus massive sets from Dom Dolla, The Martinez Brothers, Vintage Culture, Lane 8, Amelie Lens, and the cinematic French duo Polo & Pan.
The genre-crossing magic continues with TOKiMONSTA, GRAMMY-nominated Tycho, indie-electronic favorites Cut Copy, funk explorers Franc Moody, and avant-electronic trailblazers Modeselektor. Synth-pop favorite La Roux also joins the bill, alongside rising talents Zimmer90, jigitz, Nimino, and viral newcomer it’s murph.
For house heads, the offerings are especially rich: UK groove craftsman Ben Sterling, Maccabi House’s Mita Gami, garage-leaning duo Obskür, Afro-flavored selector KILIMANJARO, and Mellow Circus’ Brunello bring a fresh wave of dance-floor flavor. High-energy sets from HoneyLuv, Odd Mob, Franky Rizardo, Shermanology, and Omar+ amplify the momentum.
Techno fans also score a deep roster — including high-impact duo Collabs 3000 (Chris Liebing + Speedy J), Italian powerhouse Deborah De Luca, French top-liner Space 92, Swedish favorite Ida Engberg, and Berlin’s Clara Cuvé. Harder selections arrive via Franck, Alignment, Polygonia, bullet tooth, and Silva Bumpa, ensuring peak-time intensity from start to finish.
Waterfront Park remains an integral part of CRSSD’s identity: wide lawns, ocean views, palm trees, and three distinct stages — Ocean View, City Steps, and The Palms — each engineered for their own energy arc beneath the Southern California sun.
Beyond the stages, fans can dive into creative food + beverage experiences, photo-worthy installations, and the beloved CRSSD Lab, where crate-digging vinyl culture thrives alongside music-tech innovation.
And when the lights go down? The party continues citywide with CRSSD After Dark, lighting up San Diego’s clubs and cultural venues with artists from the lineup and surprise guests.
CRSSD alumni presale begins Tuesday, December 9 at 12PM PT for Weekend Pass purchasers from CRSSD Spring ’15, CRSSD Spring ’25, Proper NYE 24/25, DAY.MVS w/ Chris Lake, CRSSD Fall ’25, and Proper NYE/NYD 25/26.
