Splash House Festival Returns to Palm Springs with Moby and Kygo
Splash House will be making its second return to Palm Springs, California from June 13th through 15th. Here Goldenvoice and LED have partnered up to bring the three day affair to The Saguaro Hotel, The Hard Rock Hotel and the Hacienda Beach Club. This year you’ll be able to catch Kygo, Kaytranada, RAC, Moby, Claude VonStroke, Treasure Fingers and many more while getting your tan on at one of EDM Sauce’s favorite festivals of the year.
For anyone who caught last year’s debut event, you already know what makes Splash House different from your typical festival. Instead of one massive field with a single main stage, the whole weekend is spread across three separate pool venues within walking or shuttle distance of each other, letting attendees bounce between sets, dip in the pool, and soak up the Coachella Valley sun all at the same time. Continuous shuttles run between the three hotel venues, so there’s no reason to miss a set just because your favorite DJ is playing across town.
The lineup this year is stacked with a mix of house, disco and tropical-leaning talent that fits the poolside setting perfectly. Tickets for the Splash House Pool Festival can be purchased here.
Given the buzz last year’s inaugural Splash House generated, expect tickets for this second edition to move fast too, especially with a lineup that trades the usual big-room headliners for a more eclectic, house-and-disco leaning bill built for a pool party rather than a festival field. Moby brings decades of dance music pedigree to the bill, while Kygo was still very much on his come-up at this point, riding a wave of buzz off his tropical house remixes before he became a household name. Kaytranada, RAC, Claude VonStroke and Treasure Fingers round things out with a mix of house, disco-tinged production and remix work that fits the laid-back, poolside energy the event is built around.
Beyond the music, part of what’s made Splash House such a fast favorite is the setting itself. Palm Springs in mid-June means desert heat, dry summer air, and a backdrop of mountains that makes the whole weekend feel more like a hotel takeover than a traditional festival. Attendees can expect a rotating mix of DJ sets by the pool during the day, with the party spilling into nighttime programming at each venue once the sun goes down. It’s the kind of event that rewards showing up for the entire weekend rather than just catching a single headliner.
