Why Santa Monica Is Upping Its Live Music Game

“Santa Monica has an incredible music history, and Goldenvoice has been fortunate to be part of that story,” said Nic Adler, Goldenvoice vice president of regional festivals. “From legendary shows at the Civic Auditorium to the origins of Ocean Way Recording just steps from the beach, there’s a creative legacy here that’s unlike anywhere else. Ocean Way Festival is our opportunity to celebrate that history while building something that feels authentically Santa Monica for years to come.”

Fans can register for passes now at oceanwayfestival.com. Santa Monica residents have access to a presale beginning July 22 at 11 a.m. PT. Tickets go on sale to the general public July 23 at 11 a.m. PT.

Hotel packages are available, and the festival also introduces the Proper Beach Club, a beachfront hospitality experience designed in partnership with Proper Beach Club. Those tickets are now available at hospitality.oceanwayfestival.com.

“Music and design have always been at the core of what we do at Proper. Proper Presents has been a big part of that journey, and the Proper Beach Club at Ocean Way Festival feels like a natural next step,” said Brad Korzen, CEO of Proper Hospitality. “To bring our approach to hospitality to an event of this scale, right here in Santa Monica, takes everything we’ve built to a whole new level.”
