Kaskade is bringing Sun Soaked back to Huntington State Beach on September 12, and it already feels like one of Southern California’s easiest wins of the fall. Set right on the sand and built around that open-air beach energy, the festival continues to stand apart by feeling expansive without losing the intimacy that made people fall for it in the first place.
This year’s lineup is strong from top to bottom, with Kaskade joined by Cassian, Matroda, BUNT., D.O.D, Me N Ü, Lavern, Bobby Harvey, and Esse. Kaskade will also play two sets during the day, including a solo headline performance and a special back-to-back with BUNT., which gives the lineup an extra jolt considering how much momentum they already have together right now.
That timing matters. Kaskade has been on a serious run this year, from his huge Coachella return and the launch of his ORIGIN // era to “Meet Again” with Layton Giordani and Natalie Jane, plus new music with BUNT. that already feels built for moments like this. Sun Soaked lands right in the middle of that wave, but still feels personal in a way a lot of bigger events do not.
That has always been the point. Sun Soaked is not just a festival with a beach backdrop, it is a festival that actually understands what that setting can do to the music, the crowd, and the feeling of the day. Presale begins Friday, June 26 at 10:00AM PT, followed by the public on-sale at 12:00PM PT. With a sold-out return behind it in 2025 and another stacked edition now on deck, it is starting to feel less like a comeback and more like a permanent California ritual.
