Since 2015, the FNGRS CRSSD team has been shaping the festival experience in downtown San Diego. During the day, revelers will enjoy roaming between three stages and grooving the day away. Each stage has its own unique feeling and decor with beautiful views of the city landscape behind the stages. By night, CRSSD takes over a multitude of venues around the city ranging from intimate DIY spaces to premiere nightclubs. There’s so much to see and do! 

And the talent will be the best of the best! The brand is known for bringing forward-thinking and top tier international talent to the West Coast, FNGRS CRSSD will once again welcome all strains of electronic music from the established veterans to the next generation risers.

And the stages themselves will be to die for! The Ocean View stage hosts CRSSD’s live performers who define the present and future of crossover electronic. This spring’s lineup is topped by Grammy-nominated live duo ODESZA, fresh off the release of their acclaimed album The Last Goodbye, and playful French production duo Polo & Pan, whose mix of house and funk-infused stylings make them one of the most compelling live acts du jour. Additional highlights include melodic house star Lane 8, in-demand collaborator and chart-topping hitmaker Becky Hill, standout Compton act and versatile beatsmith Channel Tres, a live set by British producer and songwriter Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Irish singer-songwriter Biig Piig, and French musical trio Bon Entendeur.

The Palms stage, known for its display of all dynamics of house, welcomes headliners such as middle-eastern inspired DJ and production duo Bedouin and French synthwave favorite Kavinsky. This coming together of scenes from around the world is further demonstrated by the likes of globally recognized Detroit house and techno icon Seth Troxler going back to back with pioneering UK stalwart Eats Everything, German disco and house producer Purple Disco Machine, boundary breaking Aussie export Mall Grab and London’s own Jackmaster.

Some of the world’s most in demand techno giants and left of center electronic acts will occupy the City Steps stage, with the internationally-acclaimed Sola_mente label head Deborah De Luca, seasoned UK house veteran Maya Jane Coles, and Slovenian legend Umek topping the bill. Additional City Steps acts include West African DJ and producer Amémé, Napoli-based producer and N:S:DA label head Anifsa Letyago, Palestinian riser Sama’ Abdulhadi, and acid techno pioneer and Dame-Music label owner Bloody Mary.

CRSSD has always been about shedding light on the underground, which is still true to this day! The spring festival welcomes so many of the best underground acts in the business. The spring festival welcomes the wild antics of London by way of New Zealand’s Chaos In The CBD, Ireland’s Steel City Dance Disc mainstay KETTAMA, the hard hitting eclecticism of Jensen Interceptor, plus Stay on Sight’s Skin on Skin. 

The CRSSD experience extends beyond the stages, with fans able to enjoy craft food and cocktails from a variety of vendors, dig for vinyl or experiment with new production gear while meeting artists at the interactive and newly rebranded CRSSD Lab, or explore all Downtown San Diego has to offer before and after the show.

CRSSD will also host After Dark programming across the city in San Diego venues with names to be announced.

CRSSD is a 21+ festival.
