BeachLife Festival returned to Redondo Beach, Calif. over the weekend for its seventh annual staging. Against the stunning backdrop of the Redondo Beach Pier, the local favorite festival welcomed a grand total of 43 acts spanning the worlds of rock, indie-pop, Americana, roots-rock, new wave and more, amounting to an eclectic spectacle that stands among the event’s most impressive lineups to date.
The 2026 presentation was helmed by a diverse array of headliners, including Duran Duran and The Chainsmokers on Friday, The Offspring and Slightly Stoopid on Saturday, and James Taylor and his All-Star Band alongside My Morning Jacket on Sunday.
The festival continues to solidify its reputation as a premier destination for music lovers, blending high-energy performances with the relaxed, scenic atmosphere of the California coast. From the nostalgic hits of the 80s to the modern sounds of today’s indie scene, the weekend offered something for every musical palate.
