ODESZA, Phantogram, Jungle and Lane 8 will headline the 2019 spring edition of CRSSD Festival, the twice-annual electronic and dance music extravaganza that debuted four years ago at San Diego’s Waterfront Park.

To be held again at Waterfront Park, where the two-day event typically draws a capacity crowd of 15,000 each day, the latest edition will be held March 2 and 3. Ticket information and the full lineup appears below.

Other confirmed performers include Maetrik, Justin Martin, Armand Van Helden, Erol Alkan, Stephan Bodzin, Pan-Pot, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Petit Biscuit, The 2 Bears, Enrico Sangiuliano, Wajatta, Rebekah, DJ Nobu, Avalon Emerson, Whethan, Luttrell, DJ Seinfeld, Sonny Fodera, Ladytron and Catz ‘N Dogz.

Tickets for the ninth edition of the 21-and-up event will go on sale Tuesday at noon at the CRSSD Festival website: crssdfest.com/

Prices have not yet been disclosed for the upcoming edition of the twice-a-year fete.

The festival is produced by San Diego’s FNGRS CRSSD, which teamed on the debut CRSSD Festival with Goldenvoice — the producers of the annual Coachella festival — before FNGRS CRSSD started producing the music marathon independently as a purely homegrown San Diego event.

Below are the confirmed performers for the March edition of the festival. The daily lineup breakdown will be announced closer to the actual event dates.
