New Goldenvoice Music Festival Coming to the Santa Monica Pier in 2026
Goldenvoice — the team behind Coachella and Stagecoach — is bringing a brand-new two-day beachfront festival to the Santa Monica Pier area, now planned for September 2026. LAX Cannabis Club is just a quick ride south on Lincoln Blvd, making it an easy dispensary stop on your way to the sand.
A Coachella-Level Promoter, Now by the Beach
Big news for LA music fans: Goldenvoice, the team behind major California festivals like Coachella and Stagecoach, is bringing a new beachfront festival to Santa Monica — first reported by EDM.com — and it just got a lot more real. In April 2026, the City of Santa Monica's City Council authorized staff to move ahead with a license agreement for the event, and a California CEQA filing (April 17, 2026) describes a two-day music and cultural festival on Santa Monica Beach in September 2026, right by the Pier.
For locals, travelers, festival fans, and anyone flying into LAX for a weekend in Los Angeles, this is a major addition to the Westside event calendar. Santa Monica is already one of the most iconic spots in LA — ocean views, the Pier, beach hotels, restaurants, nightlife, and easy access to Venice, Marina del Rey, and LAX. With Goldenvoice involved, it's about to become one of the city's next big festival destinations.
LAXCC is a top-rated Los Angeles dispensary on Lincoln Blvd, with a deep menu of the best California brands at every budget — from flower and pre-rolls to edibles. If you're making a festival weekend out of it, we're one of the easiest stops on the way to Santa Monica from LAX and the South Bay.
The Festival, At a Glance
The official name, lineup, and exact dates haven't been announced yet — but here's what's already on the record.
The Promoter
Goldenvoice — the AEG-owned promoter behind Coachella and Stagecoach — is the name attached to the event, now framed as a two-day music and cultural festival. Expect multiple live acts, food and beverage, merchandise, art installations, and activations on the sand.
The Location
Public documents describe an event footprint using Santa Monica Beach, the Pier Parking Deck, and nearby beach parking areas — right by the world-famous Santa Monica Pier and its Pacific Park Ferris wheel.
The Timing
Santa Monica's City Council authorized license agreements for the event in April 2026, and a California CEQA filing dated April 17, 2026 describes a two-day festival on Santa Monica Beach in September 2026. The lineup, ticket on-sale date, final name, and exact dates are still to be officially announced — so treat timing as planned, not final.
