Goldenvoice Announces Santa Monica Ocean Way Festival
The two-day beach festival will feature a transit-oriented layout, no on-site parking and tickets starting at $399.
Goldenvoice, the promoter behind Coachella, will launch the inaugural Ocean Way Festival on Santa Monica Beach this Sept. 26-27, featuring headliners Olivia Dean and the Killers.
Developed in partnership with the City of Santa Monica, the event serves as a centerpiece for the city's new beachfront event district, designed to host major gatherings including the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The festival is permitted for up to 35,000 concertgoers daily, with general tickets starting at $399 on sale July 23, while Santa Monica residents access an exclusive presale on July 22.
Organizers designed the festival to be transit-oriented with no on-site parking, utilizing a venue footprint that extends along the sand between the Santa Monica Pier and Bay Street.
This debut marks a return to the city where Goldenvoice started, aiming to fill a void in the local music scene since the beachside city's famous Twilight Series ended a dozen years ago.
