Lake Perris: Celebs Rumors

Lily Moayeri Over the weekend, Desert Daze, California’s psych-rock festival (and two-time nominee as Pollstar’s festival of the year), celebrated its 10th anniversary as a destination event for the free-spirited, open-minded, anti-commercial, pro-instrument music fan. It was a veritable Australian takeover of the desert with two out of the three headliners being from that region: King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, who are practically the Desert Daze house band, and Tame Impala, who in 2018 had their set cut very short due to weather conditions and were returning to somewhat finish what they started. The hippie-natured festival’s titular ethos has involved several different locations in its decade-long history, with its latest headquarters, on the sand at Moreno Beach, Lake Perris, being one of the most scenic. The backdrop of craggy mountains and a crystal-clear lake is life-affirming for festival-goers who brave the relatively rough terrain of Desert Daze, where the focus is more on the vibe than it is on logistics.

Thania Garcia Desert Daze is back for its 10th year of festivities with Daze veteran Tame Impala, which will return as a headliner to help make up for 2018 headlining set that was infamously cut short by a massive thunderstorm. Four years later, Tame Impala will perform its landmark second album, “Lonerism,” in its entirety on the weekend of the album’s own 10-year anniversary.The music and art festival will take place from Sept.
