OCTAGON, !!!, BIG FREEDIA, HEAVEN 17 and ALVVAYS are among the acts who will be playing SANTA MONICA COLLEGE Triple A KCRW/LOS ANGELES' MUSIC TASTES GOOD, returning to LONG BEACH, CA, SEPTEMBER 30th through OCTOBER 1st at the waterfront MARINA GREEN PARK.

With an amplified focus on their culinary program food this year, MUSIC TASTES GOOD's new "Taste Tent" will assemble some of the top chefs from both SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA and the BAYOU, for what organizers are calling, a "Port-to-Port" experience, a cultural exchange of flavors and ideas between LONG BEACH, NEW ORLEANS, and their surrounding communities. 

Music Tastes Good's return this fall, marks the one-year anniversary of the death of festival founder and chief curator, artist/musician JOSH FISCHEL, who passed away on SEPTEMBER 29th, 2016, after a battle with liver disease. With a mission to carry on his legacy and vision for the future of the festival, MUSIC TASTES GOOD's eclectic lineup once again aims to unite music fans, foodies and art patrons alike.

JOSH's wife ABBIE FISCHEL commented, "My sweet husband was brimming with vision and creativity and passion and love for art in all its forms. It is no small task to create a fest that truly represents the man he was, but I think we have done him justice. JOSH's favorite thing was to give people the gift of experience...experience that hits on multiple levels: sight, sound, taste, touch, emotion. Through this fest, he continues to give that gift to us all."

Tickets for the two-day music, food and art festival go on sale MAY 12th.
