Desert Daze Cancels 2023 Festival to Take a Year Off Coming Back Oct 2024

Desert Daze has long been regarded as one of the best live music events going on. Unfortunately, there will be no Desert Daze in 2023. The fest just announced that it is taking a year off and will return from Oct. 10-13, 2024.

“After careful thought and consideration, DESERT DAZE organizers have decided to take a year off from the event at Lake Perris and return in 2024, using the extra time to ensure an experience that surpasses expectations for many years to come,” reads an official statement.

Desert Daze already sold early tickets for the 2023 festival. Those who already purchased tickets can convert 2023 passes to 2024 or request a refund via See Tickets. Those with further questions are encouraged to email info@desertdaze.org.

The Desert Daze team has organized a series of concerts at multiple SoCal venues. Under the name of Daze in The City, it will run from Oct. 10-15 of this year and feature artists including Les Claypool’s Frog Brigade, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, Melody’s Echo Chamber, the Black Angels, the Dandy Warhols, and Blonde Redhead. On the festival website, they’re calling it “a concert odyssey featuring some of our favorite music and visual artists performing at multiple venues across Southern California, in homage to the marathon of the first Desert Daze which ran 11 days long.”
