West Coast Weekender 2018
West Coast Weekender is a celebration of music, dance, and culture in Southern California. The music conference and festival is blossoming right alongside San Diego’s incredible cultural renaissance. With nearly half of attendees coming from out of town, the West Coast Weekender audience rings in a truly one-of-a-kind vibe. The influx of activity—plus the San Diego underground community’s enthusiasm—creates an infectious, old school energy that’s of another era.

Alien Tom and I are playing poolside on Friday, May 4th for a special Red Alien Invasion set of house & techno. The lineup is stacked day and night all weekend, we can’t wait for our Staycation here in San Diego!


West Coast Weekender Festival Locations:
Immerse yourself in the music, art, and community at the eclectic Worldbeat Cultural Center. Located at the world renowned Balboa Park, WorldBeat Center will play host to the festival on Friday & Saturday.
