The Wonderfront Music & Arts Festival is once again setting up shop along San Diego's idyllic waterfront, ready to serve up a platter of musical diversity that spans multiple genres. With a lineup ranging from electronica to soul, the festival will run today through Sunday, offering locals and visitors a hefty dose of live performances.
Attendees can expect big names like Anderson .Paak, Khruangbin, and Janelle Monae to grace the main stages, which are scattered across several scenic locations including Embarcadero Marina Park North, Seaport Village, and Ruocco Park. As reported by NBC San Diego, the event kicks off with Friday headliners Peggy Gou and Daniel Caesar, complemented by artists Duke Dumont, Isaiah Rashad, and others. "Wonderfront is not just a festival, it’s an opportunity to celebrate community, culture, and the natural beauty of our city," Paul Thornton, Wonderfront's founder and executive producer, shared in a statement to the publication.
The festival doesn't hold back on offering variety, featuring a cadre of "Next Wave" performances by emerging acts such as Bombargo, Timmy Skelly, and Boostive, which give festival-goers a glimpse into the future of music. Breaking up the act, an enhanced "Electric Lounge" promises to deliver continuous EDM beats for those looking to dance the weekend away.
For those plotting their festival journey, practical details have been outlined by CBS8. Proximity to San Diego International Airport and access via various public transportation lines, including the trolley's Green, Blue, and Orange Lines, make the festival easily accessible for attendees. And, as far as ticket availability goes, passes range from $165 for single-day general admission to $899 for the 3-day VIP experience.
