There will be four stages of music but another stage, the Daou SideStage Experience provides foodies the opportunity to be seated onstage and served a four-course meal by celebrity chefs. There will also be a craft beer bar with local L.A. breweries, other bars, and lounges for concert-goers. Additional food vendors and food trucks across the venue will offer vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options available as well.

BeachLife was co-founded by Cali locals Allen Sanford and Rob Lissner, along with support from Partner and SpeakEasy Stage curator Jim Lindberg (of Pennywise). “These artists, along with our beautiful Pacific Ocean as the backdrop, and the sand and salt in our face, will make for another unforgettable weekend at BeachLife,” said Sanford in a press release, “Throw your boardshorts or sundresses on and join us!”
