BeachLife Festival, the “Coachella of the South Bay” as PubClub.com calls it, returns for its seventh year in 2026 with a powerful lineup led by rock ‘n roll legends Duran Duran.
Also performing will be Sheryl Crowe, The Chainsmokers – the headliner for Sports Illustrated’s Super Bowl LX party this year in San Francisco – James Taylor and his All-Star Band, Slightly Stoopid, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, plus local talent Jeremy Buck and the wildly popular party band The Schizophonics.
The BeachLife 2026 dates are Friday, May 1-Sunday, May 3. The location is Seaside Lagoon in LA’s Redondo Beach.
“BeachLife’s grateful for the opportunity to continue curating music, food, and lifestyle experiences that celebrate the beach culture of Southern California,” said BeachLife founder Allen Sanford. “This year’s lineup is once again highlighted by a special collection of artists and bands who’ve helped shape the soundtrack of our California lifestyle…from its early days to today.”

Philanthropy
Philanthropy and community are ever important to BeachLife. Throughout the year and leading up to the annual festival event, BeachLife supports many organizations in Southern California’s South Bay community and beyond, specifically as they relate to the preservation of beaches and oceans. With the support of several national and local nonprofit organizations, BeachLife will host a Silent Auction on Wednesday ahead of festival weekend to raise critical funds and awareness for ocean conservation and community-based causes. Philanthropic partners for 2026 include Heal the Bay, Surfrider Foundation, Redondo Beach Education Fund, Wyland Foundation, and the Redondo Beach Police Foundation.
