We are Desert Daze, we carry the flame.

We'll fight for the psychedelia, we'll honor the Tame.

Super excited to be able to set this event up with Phil of Desert Daze and Dark Dazey who have been releasing a streak of awesome singles and are headlining. King Gizz fans will love them.

Our band Chorduroy recorded a heavier garage psych album at John Dwyer of The Oh Sees’ old studio that we’ll be ripping through taking the second slot.

Great up and coming LA band Trash Day is opening.

If you’re in SoCal and are a fan of psych rock we’d love to see you there and say what’s up

looks like a banger
was just browsing through the DD instagram looking for shows/concerts to request off for work and saw this lmao
also saw another date which was confusing lol since it says 2026 but is also in January

Assuming DD isn't happening again, if you're near Colorado, come check out Psychs Peak! 3 nights. 3 stages. 32 local and national psych bands. 1 hour west of Denver. August 27-29, 2026. psychs-peak.com.

That Joshua Tree location was perfect.

Looking to buy this poster so I can add it to my collection. If you have an extra one or someone willing to part with theirs, DM me. Or any other poster from this 2022 year. I tried looking up this particular one online and the artist website, but no luck so I’m trying my luck here.

I think it's time to cut off Phil from making anymore instagram accounts

We're super excited to announce Bucolic Valley, a small new psych fest coming to the West Kortright Center on August 22. Early bird tickets are $45 and go on sale at westkc.org at 12 PM EDT on Monday, March 9.

Our curators have attended Desert Daze several times and miss the festival dearly, but it was the main inspiration for trying to put together our own thing out here in the northeast. If you're out here, we hope to see you there!

Upcoming show at Non Plus Ultra (Los Angeles) on May 1, 2026.

The lineup features some artists and crew connected to Desert Daze (Gus Baldwin of Christian Bland and the Revelators/The Black Angels, Bert Hoover of Hooveriii/Primitive Ring/Groop, Baby Gabe of Hooveriii/Groop/Warped Visions).

The whole night will be a mixture of garage rock and psych at one of LA's best underground venues.

A dream show to see queens at the old DD grounds in Joshua tree. Hopefully this brings DD some momentum

Did anyone else get this shirt in 2018? I think I laughed out loud when I open the package.

That is all.

Hi everyone! I’m a senior at the University of Washington working on my undergraduate capstone project about music festivals and sustainability.

I’m studying how attendees perceive zero-waste efforts at festivals and whether that influences festival choice and loyalty. If you’ve attended at least one U.S. music festival in the past 5 years, I’d really appreciate your perspective.

I’m also looking to speak with music festival or live-event industry professionals for short, semi-structured interviews. These conversations focus on motivations for adopting zero-waste practices, perceived barriers and constraints, and internal perspectives on how sustainability efforts impact festival reputation, media attention, attendance, differentiation from competing events, and attendee response.

Interviews would be conducted via Zoom or Microsoft Teams at a time that works for you. If you’re interested—or know someone who might be—I would be incredibly grateful if you could comment or message me.

Thank you so much for helping out. I am happy to answer any questions, comments, concerns, and suggestions in the comments!

We have hope for the festival coming back!

Just makes me think, even with a lineup with headliners like Toro y moi, unknown mortal, osees, etc. I’d be all in, definitely more so than the attempt of DD 2024.
