Get your sunscreen and swimsuits out. Splash House returns this weekend in Palm Springs, bringing electronic music to several of the city’s most beloved pools.
The first weekend of the EDM festival runs from Friday, Aug 7 through Sunday, Aug. 9, and then again the following weekend, Aug. 14-16, with a different lineup. The event is held across three Palm Springs hotels, featuring some of the biggest names in electronic music, such as ALLEYCVT, Laszewo, Kenny Beats and more.
Here’s everything you need to know about the festival, whether you have a pass or are looking for a last-minute ticket.
What is Splash House Palm Springs?
Splash House was founded in 2013 by desert locals (and siblings) Tyler and Kelly McLean and is a co-production of Goldenvoice, the promoters behind the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach country music festival. The festival is Palm Springs’ largest summer concert and draws thousands of attendees during the city’s slowest and hottest month of the year.
The McLeans were inspired by the city’s history of pool parties and began planning the first Splash House in 2013 while Tyler was a senior at University of California, Los Angeles. Three Southern California promotion companies partnered with the McLeans to promote the event: LED, Private Label and Pacific Festival.
