CRSSD Festival announces fall 2021 lineup, featuring headliners KAYTRANADA and Zhu

After more than a year in the dark, CRSSD Festival will return to downtown’s Waterfront Park this fall.

Slated for Sept. 25 and 26, the two-day San Diego music festival features various electronic, techno and house music performances. There are currently more than 30 confirmed acts for the weekend, with more expected to be announced over the next few weeks.

Performances will be spread across three stages: Ocean View, The Palms and City Steps. In addition to headliners KAYTRANADA and Zhu, eight acts — including Boyz Noize, Flying Lotus, Jon Hopkins and Paul Kalkbrenner — will perform sets at Ocean View, the event’s main stage.

Along with music, the 21-and-up event will offer craft beer, cocktails, food vendors and more.

Launched in 2015, CRSSD typically hosts two events per year. Last year, the biannual festival’s spring edition was held March 7 and 8, 2020 — just days before the COVID-19 shutdown. The Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 editions were canceled due to the pandemic.

This year’s CRSSD Festival will be held Sept. 25-26, 2021.
