The Beach Life Festival, which took place over three days, May 13-15 highlighted local and national music talents.
There were notable headliners like Weezer, the Smashing Pumpkins and the Steve Miller Band but also scores of others, especially up and coming new talent, at four different venues.
An exemplary performance by LA band Ozomatli, going strong after 27 years, got everyone jumping, shouting and dancing to their mix of cumbia, rock, jazz and hip-hop. Their playlist included Como Ves, Saturday Night and Cumbia de los Muertos. They ended by taking their instruments and jumping into the crowd and leading a conga line.
The Smashing Pumpkins played a set list that included more than a dozen songs like Bullet With Butterfly Wings, Drown, Today, Quiet, Ava Adore, Tonight, Tonight, Cherub Rock, 1979 and Zero.
Artistic talent was also on display at an outdoor gallery.
Vendors included local eateries, Heal the Bay, The Wyland Foundation (which has a mural on the AES Redondo Beach Power Plant) and a range of other commercial enterprises. Attendees were plied with new drink products, energy bars, games of chance and expensive food.
The festival offered expensive VIP packages that included private cabanas, lounges and eateries; those with a general admission ticket could readily hear all the performances happening concurrently.
