Happy Thursday!
All of this rain is putting a little damper on Southern California concerts and festivals, but it certainly isn’t stopping the party.
It looks like we have a little sunshine on the horizon and we’re crossing our fingers (but packing our rain boots and ponchos just in case) that the weather is mellow and sunny in April for Coachella and Stagecoach.
Here’s the latest music festival news.
🌮 Orange County-based company Activated Events announced the return of its Fiesta De Taco Festival in Norco in May. The single-day event will feature performances by Flo Rida, T-Pain, 2 Chainz and more. Who doesn’t want to listen to bangers like “Low,” “Bartender” and “I’m Different” while noshing on tacos and sippin’ on a margarita? Find out more about the festival and how to get tickets here.
🐴 DJ Diplo is not only closing out the Stagecoach Country Music Festival in Indio on April 30 with the Late Night in Palomino set; he’s also curating the Honky Tonk. He’s bringing a few of his famous friends including Girl Talk, Dillon Francis and Lost Frequencies to perform in between line dancing lessons all weekend long. Get more details about the 2023 Stagecoach festival and ticket information here.
🎶 Cole Swindell headlined Boots in the Park in Norco on Saturday, March 11 and reporter Holly Alvarado was out there in the rain for all the music, line dancing, corn hole competitions and more. Read a review of the festival and get lots of photos here.
