Goldenvoice, the team behind Coachella Music Festival and the promoter for the Santa Barbara Bowl, is introducing a new two-day festival on Santa Monica Beach on September 27-28. The inaugural lineup will feature headliners The Killers and Olivia Dean, alongside Jack White, Khruangbin, Sublime, Durand Jones & The Indications, Alvvays, SG Lewis, 54 Ultra, Hiatus Kaiyote, BLOND:ISH, Poolside, Hot Chip DJs, and more. Music genres such as rock, soul, indie, house, and beyond will be featured across two stages for an all-ages, day-into-night experience right on the sand.
Produced by Goldenvoice and supported by the City of Santa Monica, the festival draws inspiration from the city’s remarkable music legacy. The name of the festival stems from Ocean Way, the Santa Monica street where Allen Sides founded what would become the legendary Ocean Way Recording studio. Goldenvoice, whose early reputation was built on producing landmark shows at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, blocks from the festival site, is an Ocean Way homecoming as much as a debut. Ocean Way Festival sets its sights on being a celebration of music, California culture, food, wellness, design, and community.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on Thursday, July 23, at 11 a.m. PT at oceanwayfestival.com, with a Santa Monica residents’ presale beginning on Wednesday, July 22, at 11 a.m. PT.
Tickets are available as single-day (Saturday or Sunday) or two-day passes:

- Two-Day Premium Pit | Starting at $749: All GA access plus entry to the Premium Pit at the main stage, featuring a dedicated bar, flushable restrooms, and access to an elevated viewing deck.
Ocean Way Festival also introduces the Proper Beach Club, a beachfront hospitality experience designed in partnership with Proper Hotels, featuring a premiere lounge designed by Kelly Wearstler Studio. The Proper Beach Club brings elevated service and creative culture to the sand. Proper Beach Club tickets are on sale at hospitality.oceanwayfestival.com/proper.
