CRSSD Fall 2026 Lineup is Here
Disclosure, Chris Lake, Prospa, Groove Armada, Helena Hauff, and Skepta hit Waterfront Park this September.
Since 2015, San Diego's Waterfront Park has been home to CRSSD with thousands of festival-goers each year. Captained by FNGRS CRSSD, the festival prides itself on curation over scale. With a daily capacity of around 15,000 across three stages (Ocean View, City Steps, and The Palms), CRSSD operates closer to a club weekend stretched across a harbor than a traditional festival. The intimacy is what shapes what works. CRSSD will return this Fall on September 26-27. Let's explore who is on this year's lineup.
Groove Armada, Tom Findlay and Andy Cato, are still one of the most underrated live electronic acts out there. They bring a catalog that stretches from downtempo to peak-hour breaks, and a stage presence that tends to convert new fans. Their inclusion is a reminder that the 2000s produced music still holds up in a festival context, if you book the right act.
On to the more techno part of Crssd, where most of the acts will be found at the City Steps. Helena Hauff appears on the lineup. The German born electro and industrial techno DJ will definitely throw down. I Hate Models and VTSS reinforce the commitment to a rawer, more abrasive wing of the lineup. KAS:ST, the French duo whose melodic techno has earned them a devoted following, thread the needle between those worlds.
Carlita, a Colombian-born DJ, who has risen quickly through the Afterlife and independent circuit, brings a warmth and fluidity to melodic house that tends to play well in outdoor settings. MATHAME, the Italian brothers whose atmospheric, cinematic sets have become a staple of the Afterlife label — are a strong fit for a harbor sunset. MOCHAKK, the Brazilian producer whose eclectic, genre-crossing approach has made him one of the more talked-about bookings of the past couple of years, rounds out a genuinely diverse mid-tier.
There are plenty of amazing artists to check out this CRSSD season. Head to the official website for more details and to sign up for presale access.
