Desert Daze is a music festival held at the Lake Perris Recreation Area in Moreno Valley, California.[1] Festival founder Phil Pirrone, formerly of post-hardcore band, A Static Lullaby, and of JJUUJJUU, had "...always wanted to do an extended festival, and all these people being in the desert for an extended amount of time presented a perfect opportunity to make that happen".[2] The current format of the festival is no longer extended, spanning a more traditional three days. Described as "sort of an anti-festival festival",[3] the festival grounds often showcase abstract and psychedelic art installations, thematically aligned with the artists primarily from the neo-psychedelia, experimental, dream pop, art pop, hip-hop, lo-fi, and noise genres.[4] Notable headliners include King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Iggy Pop, Tame Impala, Stereolab, Devo, Wu-Tang Clan, Beach House, and My Bloody Valentine.[5] In 2022, the festival drew an estimated crowd of 10,000 attendees[6].
History
Pirrone previously organized the Moon Block Party festival, which evolved into Desert Daze in 2012, where the festival was initially held in Desert Hot Springs, California.[2] For the following 3 years, until 2015, the festival took place at the Sunset Ranch Oasis in Mecca, shifting from it's previous extended 11 day format[7]. In 2016, the festival relocated to the Institute of Mentalphysics in Joshua Tree National Park.[8] The most recent iterations of the festival, since 2018, have been in the Lake Perris State Recreation Area with cancellations in 2020 and 2023.[3][9]
