CRSSD Festival returns to San Diego for 11th fall edition

The 11th fall edition of the CRSSD Festival took place on September 26-27 at Waterfront Park in San Diego. The sold-out event drew approximately 15,000 daily attendees for a weekend focused on house and techno music.

The festival featured three distinct stages: The Palms, which focused on house grooves; City Steps, which hosted heavier techno sets; and Ocean View, which offered views of the harbor. Notable performers included Chris Lake, Disclosure, Mochakk, Marlon Hoffstadt, Boys Noize, and 999999999.

While the event was praised for its curated lineups and ability to balance major names with underground artists, reports noted some challenges with crowd density and bottlenecking at popular sets.
