San Diego’s Waterfront Park will be hosting a full weekend dance party this March. CRSSD Festival will be featuring a slew of your favorite acts just in time for Spring Break including ODESZA, Kavinsky, Biig Piig, Channel Tres & many more. Our anticipation for the weekend can no longer be contained, so we’re here to gush about our favorite artists on the lineup & help guide any other attendees on what sets to catch.

Biig Piig

With her new project Bubblegum, Jess Smyth (Biig Piig) has released her most hypnotic body of work yet. After supporting Big Wild on a big 2022 tour, Biig Piig is now embarking on a solo US/EU/UK tour in 2023 with Crssd Fest being one of the many stops. Be sure to check out her new single "Only One.”

NEIL FRANCES

NEIL FRANCES haven't been on the scene too long but they've already made quite the impact. With their widely appreciated single "Music Sounds Better With You" and full length album There is no Neil Frances; the two band mates that make up NEIL FRANCES are definitely here to stay. Be sure to also check out their new remix of ODESZA's "North Garden"— the perfect collaboration just in time for their set at Crssd Fest!

Chaos In The CBD

Now after ten plus years of releasing house music for the soul, the brothers who are Chaos In The CBD are about to embark on a small US tour. With their new single "Higher Elevation" out and a new album on the way, Chaos In The CBD is a must see at Crssd this year for one of the best House DJ sets with some jazzy vibes.

Kavinsky

French producer Kavinsky is definitely a must see at Crssd this year! Known for his 80s retro stylized electronic music, Kavinsky has worked with some of music's biggest artists. In 2022, after nearly 10 years, he finally released a full body of work called Reborn and that is truly what this album feels like... Kavinsky is Reborn. The wait for new solo music might have taken years, but it was well worth every second of it. Check out his huge single "Renegade (feat. Cautious Clay)."

Polo & Pan

Polo & Pan released Cyclorama in 2021 and have been touring the world since. With the huge success from their third studio album, Polo & Pan have been selling out shows and headlining festivals all over the globe. The energy they bring in their live sets is something you just have to experience for yourself. They are one of those artists many would consider as timeless. With that being said, we're really looking forward to their late night headlining set Saturday night on the Ocean View stage!

AMÉMÉ

Afro House DJ and Producer AMÉMÉ is bound to bring the heat to The Palms stage on Sunday. From playing clubs all over the world, AMÉMÉ has made quite the name for himself. With his new EP just being released, Power, we're sure to get a DJ set full of great vibes and good energy. Check out his new project now!

Luna Li

"Silver into Rain" was on our playlists all last year so we can't wait to see her perform it live! Her debut album Duality was very personal and full of substance that you can feel. With a music journey just starting, Luna Li is a must see this year. Check out her single "daydream" from her new EP, jams 2.

Purple Disco Machine

After a massive year winning a Grammy for Best Remixed Recording of Lizzo's single "About Damn Time," Tio Piontek better known as Purple Disco Machine is guaranteed to have one of the funkiest sets of the weekend. His massive 2021 album Exotica has plenty of hits to keep people moving on the dance floor all night. Check out his hit song "Hypnotized" from his latest album.

Channel Tres

Channel Tres is one of those artists you know is going to bring all the energy with every live set he does. After selling out three nights in Los Angeles just a few months ago, San Diego is sure to tear the house down cause "We ain't leavin.. til 6 in the morning." Be sure to check out his new dance track "6am."

ODESZA

Quite possibly the biggest EDM headliner of the past ten years, ODESZA is back headlining festivals in 2023 with Crssd being the first of the year! After the success of their third studio album The Last Goodbyes and a massive 2022 US tour, they will continue on that closing out the festival Sunday night. Known to have some of the best live productions, ODESZA is sure to bring a memorable night for us all to talk about for years.
