A decision made with safety in mind
The music festival planned for September 26–27 on the beach south of Santa Monica Pier was cancelled. Surf and runoff eroded the site, leaving insufficient room for audiences, production facilities and emergency access. General beach use and the conditions required for a major festival need separate assessments.
Check refunds with your original seller
The organiser announced automatic full refunds for 2026 tickets through the original point of purchase. Keep your booking confirmation and payment record to hand while checking the seller’s notice and refund transactions. Use the official website’s contact details and your seller’s customer-service channel if you need help.
Coordinate settlement and follow-up work
Production partners and performers can confirm work stoppages and settlement schedules with their contacts, and check separately whether any community projects are continuing. For a future waterfront event, include an on-site review of load-in routes, storage areas and emergency access in the preparation process.
Look for a new announcement about 2027
The organiser has described plans for a 2027 return, while dates, programming and ticket sales are to be announced separately. A 2026 booking should not be treated as a reservation for the next event. Keeping records and checking the new guidance will make a future visit easier to prepare.
