A new music festival is taking over San Diego in a little over a month, and it’s already making waves! Wonderfront Music & Arts Festival will be taking place November 22-24. 3-day passes are available now, as well as a limited number of single day passes.
If you haven’t gotten yours yet…
I get it. Buying festival tickets is a huge investment, and you may still be on the fence deciding on whether to actually do this or not. Well, I’ll pitch in two cents… here’s 5 reasons why you SHOULD check out Wonderfront this November!
1. THE LINEUP IS STACKED!
Wonderfront will feature over 80 nationally and locally recognized acts spanning across various genres. Check it out below!
Whether you love rap, reggae, rock, pop, Latin, jazz, or electronic music, Wonderfront truly has something for everyone on this lineup. I honestly can’t think of any other festival where I’d get to see my faves Alice Merton, CNCO, X Ambassadors and Miguel on the same day – performing full length sets!
I also heard there will be some surprise guests…
2. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!
There’s a reason why San Diego is called America’s Finest City, and Wonderfront will use downtown San Diego’s geographical layout to it’s advantage. Festival stages will be located at some of the bayfront’s most iconic spots, including the Embarcadero Marina Park North and South, Seaport Village, Ruocco Park, and the Broadway Port Pier.
Everything is within walking distance of one another, and I mean EVERYTHING. Hotels such as the Manchester Grand Hyatt, Hilton Bayfront and Gaslamp, Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina, Hard Rock and more are just a few minutes away from the music. The city’s top restaurants, bars, and night clubs are also footsteps away.
Don’t feel like walking from place to place? Yeah, I don’t blame you. I’d be exhausted after jumping nonstop during Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike’s set.
There will be plenty of pedicabs available to get you where you want to be, and you can always rent a bike or scooter. But Wonderfront has something WAAAAY cooler in store…
3. WATER TAXIS AND YACHT PARTIES
At Wonderfront, all ticket holders will have the opportunity to be transported from stage to stage on giant water taxis. You’ll be able to take in the gorgeous sights of the San Diego Bay while still technically being inside of the festival.
4. COME AND GO AS YOU PLEASE
Many festivals will allow ins and outs, but where would you go? The parking lot? *ba dum tss* no seriously though.
Wonderfront allows ins and outs so that you can not only get from stage to stage, but you can also explore downtown and curate your own weekend schedule. Feel like catching a few acts early in the day, leaving to your hotel to unwind, going across the street to an amazing eatery in the gaslamp for lunch, then coming back to the festival? That’s what Wonderfront is all about!
There’s no need to feel constrained when you’re at Wonderfront. You’re free to come and go whenever you want, however many times you want!
5. AFTER PARTIES
Noise curfews aren’t going to stop the fun at Wonderfront! Expect a silent disco at Broadway Pier, nighttime yacht parties, and after parties all throughout downtown.
I just hope I’m invited to some of them.
Wonderfront is our band new hometown festival, and YOU are the real reason why it’ll be so wonderful! For more info and to purchase your tickets, visit wonderfrontfestival.com. While you’re there, be sure to sign up for the WonderLIST for festival updates and surprises!
