CRSSD Spring 2024 Lineup
CRSSD fest has an absolutely stacked lineup this year. FNGRS CRSSD continues to spoil the city of San Diego with their events. While you’ll be satisfied seeing any of the artists on the bill, here are 5 artists that are sure to put on an incredible show:
Armand Van Helden
Legendary DJ Armand Van Helden is set to close out The Palms stage on Saturday night. Van Helden boasts an extremely impressive dance music resume. He’s one half of the dance duo, Duck Sauce, which you may know from their mega hit and classic Just Dance 3 track, “Barbra Steisand.” He’s collaborated with Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter, Steve Aoki, and remixed the likes of the Rolling Stones, Janet Jackson, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, and Sneaker Pimps. He’s an incredible get for CRSSD fest and one that is sure to absolutely throw down on Saturday.
Sammy Virji
The UK’s Sammy Virji always knows how to put on a show. His music is infectious! Virji has long been mastering what it takes to get a crowd moving. His energetic grooves are irresistible. Virji loves to DJ and constantly feeds off of the energy of the crowd. See Sammy Virji spin his magic at The Palms on Saturday at 9pm.
KI/KI
Hailing from Amsterdam, KI/Ii has developed a fascinating blend of acid, trance, and techno that is sure to move the CRSSD crowd. Knowing how to dazzle the dancefloor, KI/KI will often mix in 90s rave classics into her sets. She is absolutely excellent and someone that will not disappoint. Hear KI/KI shine on the City Steps stage, Saturday at 6:15 pm.
Little Dragon
Little Dragon stands out on the lineup as being one of the only bands. Hailing from Sweden, this band has come a long way. Fronted by the incredible vocalist, Yukimi Nagano, fans are in for a delightful auditory treat as Little Dragon takes the Ocean View stage at 6:15pm on Sunday. Their unique and innovative sound has led to them being a highly sought-after collaborator, working with the likes of Flume, Gorillaz, Flying Lotus, Kali Uchis, Mac Miller, and fellow CRSSD artist SBTRKT.
SBTRKT
Pronounced, “Subtract,” (that took me far too long to realize) SBTRKT is set to rock the Ocean View Stage on Sunday at 7:30 pm, right after Little Dragon. This English musician and Producer has such an admirable ability to create incredibly slick grooves. His talent had led to frequent collaborations with Sampha as well as work with Ezra Koenig, ASAP Ferg, Drake, and Teezo Touchdown. SBTRKT is a true gem that you do not want to miss!
Whether you’re an Angeleno looking to get away for the weekend, a San Diego native, or someone traveling from afar, CRSSD fest is sure to deliver a raging good time to all!
