Today, Wonderfront Music & Arts Festival shared phase one of the lineup who will join them at San Diego's downtown waterfront on Nov. 18-20. The inaugural Wonderfront festival took place in 2019 but was unable to take place in the following years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
To celebrate their return the festival has announced a packed lineup flush with big-name talent. Phase one artists include Zac Brown Band, Kings of Leon, Gwen Stefani, G-Eazy, Young the Giant, Lauren Daigle, Swae Lee, Quinn XCII, Fitz & the Tantrums, Earthgang, Big Boi, Thundercat, SOJA, Noah Cyrus, Cam, Judah & the Lion, Whethan, Trevor Hall, Hippie Sabotage, Two Feet, Skip Marley, Mod Sun, Max, Cheat Codes, Bakermat, Goldfish, Bakar, and more. The acts will be spread out on multiple stages across the waterfront.
“Our goal with this 2022 lineup was to still maintain a focus on emerging artists and artists with new music coming out this year, but to also take a significant step forward with bigger headline talent," said Wonderfront co-founder and CEO Paul Thornton in a press release. "After the 2019 success we have had so many great artists wanting to play on this year’s lineup, it has been an internal battle with our programming team as to which artists we booked to fill the available stage slots. We also wanted a great mix of artists across the time slots, so that not all the bigger names were just playing at the same later times. We really appreciate the artists that have worked with us to make that possible. There are more great artists to be announced, which we can’t announce until May as some are playing
on other large festivals and shows in the Southern California region.”
Festival co-founder and Chairman Ernie Hahn added; “We have a fantastic team of local San Diego ambassadors in Rob Machado, Tony Hawk, and Trevor Hoffman. We’re excited to also partner up with the Belly Up team, the RMD group team, and other Wonderfront ambassador partners in Miguel and DJ Skee. It’s going to be an epic weekend showcasing San Diego with amazing music and culinary experiences on the Bay in downtown San Diego.”
More acts are expected to be announced in May. Find tickets and learn about festival packages here.
