Chris Lake and Disclosure, Mochakk, Skepta Mas Tiempo and VTSS are among the artists set to perform at Waterfront Park this September.
CRSSD Festival has announced the lineup for its Fall 2026 edition, which will take place again at Waterfront Park in San Diego on 26–27 September. The two-day event will once again bring together a broad mix of house, techno, garage, indie-electronic and crossover live acts across its three-stage format.
The festival, which has become a regular fixture on the North American electronic music calendar, will feature a combination of established international names and emerging artists. Organisers have also confirmed the return of CRSSD After Dark, the associated series of club events hosted across San Diego during festival weekend.
A Diverse Programme
Among the most high-profile bookings is a back-to-back DJ set from Chris Lake and Disclosure, marking a rare pairing between two of the most recognisable names in contemporary dance music. The lineup also includes Brazilian house artist Mochakk, techno act 999999999, grime pioneer Skepta performing his Mas Tiempo project, and Groove Armada in DJ set format.
Elsewhere, the programme features Carlita b2b Rossi., Layton Giordani, KETTAMA, Mathame, I Hate Models, Marlon Hoffstadt and horsegiirl, reflecting the festival’s continued focus on artists operating across different corners of electronic music culture.
CRSSD’s Ocean View stage will once again host a range of live and crossover performances. Big Wild brings his blend of electronic production and live instrumentation, while DRAMA returns with its combination of dance music and pop songwriting. French artist Sebastien Tellier, indie-electronic duo Balu Brigada and electronic project ROYA are also scheduled to appear.
The Palms stage, traditionally dedicated to house-focused programming, includes Sonny Fodera, Prospa and CHASEWEST alongside artists such as Dean Turnley, Genesi, Greg 99, Jay de Lys, Locklead, Marco Strous and Torren Foot. The selection reflects the continued popularity of groove-led house music and UK garage influences within contemporary club culture.
CRSSD’s City Steps
CRSSD’s City Steps stage will feature a more underground-oriented programme led by VTSS, Helena Hauff, KAS:ST, Ben UFO and salute. Additional performances from MPH, Son of Son and ARODES continue the stage’s emphasis on techno, rave and club-focused sounds.
The lineup highlights several trends currently shaping electronic music festivals. Artists such as horsegiirl, salute and Marlon Hoffstadt have attracted growing international audiences through a combination of club credibility and online visibility, while the inclusion of figures such as Helena Hauff and Ben UFO maintains a connection to more established underground scenes.
Set against San Diego’s waterfront backdrop, the festival will once again combine music programming with food, beverage and cultural activations, including the return of CRSSD Lab, an area dedicated to vinyl culture and artist discovery.
