Desert Daze festival will be back this fall, happening November 12-14 at Lake Perris, CA. Headliners are The War on Drugs (playing their only 2021 show), Kamasi Washington, Toro y Moi and Japanese Breakfast.
Organizers note "this year’s event will be scaled down to keep us together in spirit while socially distanced" -- the poster refers to it as "a weekend of concerts" -- and the lineup is primarily North American artists, given COVID travel restrictions. Also playing: Devendra Banhart, Andy Shauf, Tim Heidecker & Weyes Blood, Crumb, Yves Tumor, Ty Segall, The Black Angels, DIIV, Kikagaku Moyo, The Budos Band, Moon Duo, Sudan Archives, Deap Vally, La Luz, Sasami, Crack Cloud, SPELLLING, Pachyman, JJUUJUU and Geese, with stage projections from Mad Alchemy.
