CRSSD Festival is back for fall and celebrating its 10th anniversary! The festival just revealed its full lineup for its Fall 2025 edition. It returns September 27 and 28 at San Diego’s iconic Waterfront Park. Celebrating a decade of music, CRSSD brings an expertly curated mix of global electronic artists and underground talent.
Ocean View
Firstly, the Ocean View stage will showcase leading electronic talent against the stunning Pacific coastline and San Diego’s downtown skyline. Empire of the Sun, Australian synth-pop royalty, headlines with their cinematic and theatrical live performance. House music superstar John Summit also headlines his chart-topping productions and electrifying shows as one of dance music’s most in-demand acts. It’s sure to be packed and a fantastic time.
They’ll join ethereal German multi-instrumentalist Ben Böhmer (live), genre-defying Canadian visionary Caribou, and critically acclaimed experimental duo DARKSIDE. Plus, UK electronica outfit Maribou State. Additionally, disco-infused electronic group Midnight Generation, UK crossover favorite Elderbrook, and rising alt-dance vocalist and producer Mindchatter are also performing. Even Berlin-based melodic duo Sultan + Shepard (live), and enigmatic live newcomers Fcukers.
The Palms
Secondly, The Palms brings a diverse lineup of boundary-pushing selectors and dancefloor mainstays in house. You’ll find Jamie Jones B2B Adam Ten, Claude VonStroke, Purple Disco Machine, Dombresky, and Cassian. The bill expands to Chris Stussy, Cloonee, Beltran, and Max Styler. Lastly, enjoy Parisian deep house talent Alex Wann, and nostalgia-evoking French producer Swimming Paul.
The City Steps
Thirdly, the City Steps, a sanctuary for cutting-edge techno and underground club culture, presents a formidable lineup of uncompromising talent. The stage welcomes Boys Noize, ¥ØU$UK€ ¥UK1MAT$U, Brutalismus 3000, Eli Brown, and playfully experimental Berlin selectors DJ Gigola B2B MCR-T. They’ll be joined by fast-rising Turkish techno force OGUZ, KETTAMA and Partiboi69’s high-flying KETBOI69, Will Clarke, Blawan (making a rare US appearance), and Melbourne’s Tobiahs. They bring the next wave of high-intensity, progressive techno to the CRSSD faithful.

Attendees can explore innovative stage designs, indulge in handpicked local food and craft beverage vendors, and dive into interactive experiences. That includes the CRSSD Lab, a music-tech lounge and on-site vinyl market. Set against the scenic backdrop of San Diego’s Waterfront Park, the festival certainly offers an unmatched daytime atmosphere that seamlessly transitions into the beloved CRSSD After Dark series. This series takes over select venues across the city with late-night sets and exclusive performances. CRSSD will reveal full afterparty programming closer to the festival date.
