According to the press release, “Ocean Way Festival was created for Santa Monica. Produced by Goldenvoice and supported by the City of Santa Monica, it draws inspiration from the city’s remarkable music legacy. The festival takes its name from Ocean Way, the Santa Monica street where Allen Sides founded what would become the legendary Ocean Way Recording studios more than four decades ago. For Goldenvoice, whose early reputation was built producing landmark shows at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium blocks from the festival site, Ocean Way is a homecoming as much as a debut.”

The setting of this festival is a one-of-a-kind, with the Santa Monica Pier as the backdrop. “Stretching across the beach between the Santa Monica Pier and Bay Street, Ocean Way Festival features a main stage with five acts per day, a second stage offering a more intimate setting, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces. The grounds blend standing room and open blanket areas, designed for the way people naturally spend a day at the beach.”
