Documented collaborators

Nestled on the shores of Lake Perris State Recreation Area in Moreno Valley, California, Desert Daze has built a reputation as a boundary‑pushing festival and artist collective. Since its 2012 origins under founder Phil Pirrone—following his Moon Block Party days—the event has become a trusted platform for neo‑psychedelia, desert rock, and experimental sounds. Desert Daze blends big‑name headliners with immersive art, outdoor stages, and a lakeside backdrop that makes it a standout destination in Southern California’s live music scene.
