Set against an idyllic bay-front setting, CRSSD’s Fall 2025 edition promises an exciting and eclectic range of music to deliver another unforgettable weekend of sonic exploration in San Diego’s iconic Waterfront Park.
CRSSD, a vibrant two-day celebration of house, techno, electro, and indie-dance returns for its 10th anniversary this September on the 27th and 28th. With a backdrop of rolling lawns, fountains, and ocean breezes, the festival features three unique stages offering everything from genre-blurring live performances to cutting-edge DJ sets, sure to leave any music fan satisfied.
The event has announced a stacked lineup, including industry heavyweights such as Empire of the Sun, Caribou, Purple Disco Machine, Boys Noize, Ben Böhmer (live), Maribou State, Elderbrook, John Summit, Eli Brown, DARKSIDE, Cassian, Brutalismus 3000, and many, many more.


Beyond its eclectic array of artists and jaw-dropping stage designs, CRSSD promises to deliver a fully immersive experience that engages all the senses. Attendees can discover handpicked local food and craft beverage vendors, and dive into interactive experiences at CRSSD Lab featuring a music-tech lounge and on-site vinyl market.
The party doesn’t stop at night either with CRSSD’s After Dark series, where select venues are taken over across the city with late-night sets and exclusive performances – full programming is set to be revealed soon, so keep your eyes peeled for further announcements.
