Sept. 27th-29th

The annual OHANA FESTIVAL will showcase over 25 acts from FRIDAY, SEPT. 27th to SUNDAY, SEPT. 29th, at DOHENY STATE BEACH in DANA POINT, CA. Headlining are THE STROKES, EDDIE VEDDER, THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, TASH SULTANA, INCUBUS, NATHANIEL RATELIFF & THE NIGHT SWEATS.

"It's been a true honor to work with the community and organizers to create a stimulating vibe and uplifting atmosphere for the great crowds and incredible musicians who come out to play in the park," EDDIE VEDDER said after last year's event. "To have the PIXIES, X, MUDHONEY, JACK JOHNSON, etc., etc., etc. play your festival has been so satisfying. Far beyond our initial vision for it all.

"Seeing FIONA APPLE play a truly joyful set in the sun, I know I'll never forget that. Being there while LANA DEL REY and CHAN MARSHALL (CAT POWER) hung out for the first time. (LANA, who is singing on CAT POWER's new single. When you get to witness that and know you've had a small part in that, there's definitely a healthy sense of pride you can glean from that.

"Practicing a song backstage with ELVIS COSTELLO. Another highlight. When he starts singing from the chair across from you, you're hit with the realization that he is equipped with his own personal P.A. system in his throat. Perfectly tuned and a voice that's like no other. It's ELVIS!"
