BeachLife Returns To Redondo Beach This Spring With Touch Of 80s Rock. See Lineup

REDONDO BEACH, CA — BeachLife Festival will return this spring with a touch of 80s rock and a hint of 90s punk rock.

The three-day event — from May 1 to May 3 at Seaside Lagoon in Redondo Beach— will include headliners Duran Duran, The Offspring and James Taylor and His All-Star Band, the festival announced on social media last week.

“BeachLife’s grateful for the opportunity to continue curating music, food, and lifestyle experiences that celebrate the beach culture of Southern California,” festival co-founder Allen Sanford said in a statement to The Daily Breeze. “This year’s lineup is once again highlighted by a special collection of artists and bands who’ve helped shape the soundtrack of our California lifestyle … from its early days to today.”

Co-founded by Sanford and Rob Lissner, the festival held its inaugural show in 2019, with headliners Bob Weir and Wolf Bros, Brian Wilson w/ Al Jardine & Blondie Chaplin and Willie Nelson & Family, Live For Live Music reported.

“We’ve painstakingly curated this lineup to capture what we believe is the unique spirit of BeachLife, bringing together a mix of legendary icons, headlining touring bands and emerging artists who all in some way represent our Southern California beach lifestyle,” the co-founders said in a written statement to the outlet in 2019.

BeachLife aims “to inspire community, authenticity, and generosity through the celebration of music, art, and our Southern California beach life culture,” according to festival organizers.

“We were lucky enough to grow up in Southern California on the beach — surfing, hanging out with sand between our toes, vibing with friends, and living the beach life,” organizers said. “Our culture celebrates the power and beauty of the ocean and coastal resources — our waves, wind, smell of sea salt, beaches, sand, and wildlife that call this their home.”

Since its inception seven years ago, BeachLife has burgeoned into more than a music event.

It’s become a well-known South Bay institution, Palos Verdes Magazine reported last year.

The brand includes two Redondo Beach restaurants — California Surf Club and BeachLife Grotto — a general store and even a brand-specific rum.

“When I first started, people asked me what business I was in,” Sanford told Palos Verdes Magazine. “Some people are in the music business. Some are in food. Some in cocktails. I like to think of us as in the vibe business.”
