Desert Daze is a music festival held at the Lake Perris Recreation Area in Moreno Valley, California.[1] Festival founder Phil Pirrone, formerly of post-hardcore band, A Static Lullaby, and of JJUUJJUU, had "...always wanted to do an extended festival, and all these people being in the desert for an extended amount of time presented a perfect opportunity to make that happen".[2] The current format of the festival is no longer extended, spanning a more traditional three days. Described as "sort of an anti-festival festival",[3] the festival grounds often showcase abstract and psychedelic art installations, thematically aligned with the artists primarily from the neo-psychedelia, desert rock, experimental, dream pop, art pop, hip-hop, lo-fi, and noise genres.[4] Notable headliners include King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Iggy Pop, Tame Impala, Stereolab, Devo, Wu-Tang Clan, Beach House, and My Bloody Valentine.[5] In 2022, the festival drew an estimated crowd of 10,000 attendees.[6]
