SPLASH HOUSE RETURNED FOR ANOTHER SUMMER OF SWEAT, DANCING AND GOOD VIBES ALL AROUND. The August double weekenders of this year’s Splash House were an unforgettable experience in Palm Springs. With a lineup packed with top-tier talent, iconic venues, and a vibrant atmosphere, the festival delivered on all fronts.

Weekend Two featured a star-studded cast, including John Summit, Disco Dom(Dombresky), Chris Lorenzo, AC Slater, Meduza, and SG Lewis. Each artist brought their unique style and energy to the stage, creating an exciting musical experience that catered to a wide range of tastes.

The venues at Splash House were equally impressive. The Palm Springs Air Museum, with its vintage aircrafts and industrial setting, provided a unique and unforgettable backdrop for the after-hours parties. The Renaissance, Margaritaville, and Saguaro Hotels also offered stunning poolside stages and a relaxed atmosphere.

One of the highlights of the weekend was John Summit's headline set at the Air Museum. His energetic and crowd-pleasing music had the entire crowd dancing and singing along. Disco Dom, the future disco alias of Dombresky, also delivered a memorable performance, keeping the energy high throughout the night.

We started our Saturday at Margaritaville with John Liwag - it was early enough in the day we were able to find a spot in the pool and ease into the day. We then made our way to Rennaissance to groove to Moon Boots. Renaissance was packed and the energy was already high despite the sun beating down. Girl Math (VNSSA b2b NALA), took over and took things up a notch. Chris Lorenzo closed the evening, who knew just exactly what the crowd was wanting. 

We started our Sunday early with BIATA at Saguaro. The colorful hotel provided the perfect background for her fun vibe. We made our way to Margaraitvilel to catch Truth x Lies before heading back to Saguaro for Riordan, who had the crowd moving. SG Lewis closed Saguaro and the weekend and provided a perfect balance of his signature dance tracks like his new single “HEAT” while spinning some harder techno tracks as well.

Beyond the music, Palm Springs itself is a beautiful and inviting destination. The city's mid-century modern architecture, lush palm trees, and stunning mountain views create a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. While the desert heat can be intense, especially during the day, the hotels and staff did their best to keep attendees hydrated.

Splash House provided the perfect weekend getaway for new and returning attendees alike.
