Desert Daze

[edit]

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, My Bloody Valentine, Ween, The Flaming Lips, Primus, and The Brian Jonestown Massacre.[5]

History

[edit]

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.[6] In 2016, the festival relocated to the Institute of Mentalphysics in Joshua Tree National Park [7]. 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]
