Pacific Sound Fest Unveils Star-Studded 2025 Lineup
LOS ANGELES, CA – Pacific Sound Fest, the eagerly anticipated annual music event, has officially announced the complete artist lineup for its 2025 iteration. Set against the iconic backdrop of Griffith Park in Los Angeles, the festival is scheduled to take place from October 18th to October 20th, 2025. The reveal confirms a robust and diverse roster, promising a significant expansion from previous years and solidifying the festival’s growing presence in the Southern California music landscape.
Headlining the 2025 festival are two powerhouse acts: the globally renowned, Grammy-winning artist Aurora Borealis, and the critically acclaimed independent band The Sunken Cities. Aurora Borealis, known for their ethereal soundscapes and captivating live performances, brings a pedigree of major awards and widespread international recognition. Their inclusion marks a significant coup for Pacific Sound Fest, indicating a major step forward in attracting top-tier talent. Sharing the top billing are The Sunken Cities, a group celebrated for their intricate musical arrangements and profound lyrical depth. Their consistent critical praise across numerous releases positions them as a compelling co-headliner, appealing to a broad audience seeking both artistic innovation and established quality.
Expanded Roster and Multi-Stage Experience
Beyond the headliners, the 2025 lineup features an impressive depth of talent, comprising over 60 additional acts. This extensive roster spans a wide array of genres, ensuring there is music to satisfy diverse tastes across the festival’s multiple stages. Attendees can expect to discover emerging artists alongside established performers, creating a dynamic and engaging atmosphere throughout the weekend. The curation of the lineup reflects the festival’s commitment to showcasing a broad spectrum of contemporary music.
The inclusion of such a large number of artists necessitates the utilization of multiple stages strategically placed throughout the Griffith Park grounds. This setup is designed to minimize overlap and allow festival-goers to explore concurrent performances, maximizing their experience and exposure to the diverse sounds on offer. Detailed stage schedules and performance times are expected to be released closer to the festival dates, providing attendees with the information needed to plan their weekend.
Festival Growth and Format Change
The 2025 event marks a significant milestone for Pacific Sound Fest, representing its third consecutive year. This sustained presence underscores the festival’s successful integration into the Los Angeles cultural calendar and its ability to draw both artists and audiences. Building on the momentum of previous editions, the organizers have opted for a substantial format change for 2025.
For the first time, Pacific Sound Fest will expand to a three-day format. This expansion from its previous length is a direct response to the growing scale of the event and the caliber of the artists now featured. The decision was driven by two primary factors: the need to adequately accommodate the significantly larger and more diverse roster of over 60 acts without sacrificing set lengths or creating excessive scheduling conflicts, and the anticipation of high demand from the vibrant and expansive music audience in the Los Angeles area. A three-day structure allows for a more relaxed pace, providing attendees more time to experience the full lineup, explore the festival grounds, and engage with the various activations and vendors present.
Tickets and Anticipated Demand
With the lineup now public, attention turns to ticketing information. Festival organizers have announced that early bird tickets for Pacific Sound Fest 2025 are scheduled to go on sale starting June 15th. Prospective attendees are encouraged to mark this date on their calendars, as early bird pricing typically offers the most favorable rates and is often subject to rapid sell-out due to high demand.
Tickets will be exclusively available for purchase via the festival’s official website. The organizers strongly advise purchasing tickets only through this official channel to ensure validity and avoid potential scams. Further details regarding pricing tiers (beyond early bird), VIP options, and payment plans are expected to be released in the lead-up to the June 15th sale date.
The return to Griffith Park for the third consecutive year highlights the venue’s successful partnership with the festival and its suitability for hosting a large-scale outdoor music event. Griffith Park offers a unique and scenic urban escape, providing ample space for stages, food vendors, art installations, and attendee amenities, all within a centrally located area accessible to the Los Angeles community and visitors alike.
The announcement of the full 2025 lineup, spearheaded by Aurora Borealis and The Sunken Cities and supported by over 60 diverse acts, sets the stage for what is anticipated to be the biggest and most successful Pacific Sound Fest to date. The expansion to three days reflects the festival’s ambition and its commitment to delivering a premier music experience. Music fans in Los Angeles and beyond are now looking towards June 15th for the opportunity to secure their spot at this increasingly prominent West Coast festival.
