Splash House 2025 is back for another unforgettable summer splash, unveiling the full artist lineup for its dual weekend editions returning to Palm Springs on August 8–10 and August 15–17, 2025.
Now over a decade strong, the festival continues to define what a boutique music getaway should be—seamlessly blending underground credibility with mainstream energy, all set against the sun-drenched backdrop of the California desert. The way we like to explain Splash House for someone who’s never been, imagine an intimate Coachella experience, mixed with a Las Vegas pool party, and access to 3 stages at 3 boutique hotels, with every room in the hotels full of fun-loving, disco dancing, festival friends!
By day, guests dance poolside at the festival’s trio of boutique hotels—The Renaissance, Saguaro, and Riviera—surrounded by the stunning San Jacinto Mountains, where the sun sets beautifully behind, illuminating the sky with shades of blue, pink, and purple. Between sets, the vibe flows through colorful experiences like drag brunches, curated thrifting, and pool party fun. As the desert sun fades, the party transitions to the legendary Palm Springs Air Museum, where vintage planes loom overhead and world-class DJs ignite open-air hangars to keep the party going!
In the past, Splash House has booked some of the world’s best house DJ’s, but this year’s lineup seems to be more diverse with some UK garage, dubstep, drum and bass, and wobble music to cater to a much larger crowd. Here’s what to expect –
Weekend One: August 8–10
Legendary UK genre-blender Troyboi, a record producer, and musician of Indian, Nigerian, Portuguese, and Chinese heritage, whose cultural diversity strongly influences his work making his sound so authentic and unique. Disco Lines, who is somewhat newer to the electronic music scene but has quickly excelled to be one of the hottest DJ’s in the field.
One of our personal favorites we’re looking forward to, Westend, who has great crowd work and always brings the energy. Known for driving basslines, crisp vocals, melodic hooks, and meticulous production, blending NY swagger with UK bass sensibilities and West Coast wonky influences.
During the pandemic, Westend pivoted into music education, offering production lessons and founding Kick & Bass, a Discord community supporting hundreds of new producers. He has since partnered with the music‑tech platform Scraps, where users can purchase project files (like “Get This Party Started”) for direct insight into his creative process.
Some up and coming DJ’s to catch – HILLS, a dark, groove‑driven tech‑ and bass‑house duo consisting of two producers working remotely across different cities. Their working process is entirely remote: they exchange demos daily, curate the best ideas, and develop their signature sound together despite the distance.
Jigitz, a Brooklyn-based DJ, producer, and electronic artist emerging through a steady stream of hypnotic, high‑tempo releases. NOTION, a Bristol-born producer and DJ who’s been pivotal in the revival of UK bassline and garage-influenced club music.
Special mention – Close Friends Only, comedians and DJ’s, CFO’s appeal lies in its authentic friendship-based banter, unfiltered humor, and tightly mashed-up EDM sets. It’s real, chaotic, and highly entertaining—a fresh format that resonates with Gen Z and meme culture. You may have seen a few of their viral clips on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Twitch streams.
Splash House 2025 Weekend Two: August 15–17
Praised for genre-bending production and sound design, Boys Noize, named among Rolling Stone’s Top 10 DJs Who Rule The World and multiple-time Best Electronic Act by Beatport, a German-Iraqi DJ, producer, and label founder whose signature sound blends electro-house, techno, and noisy maximalism.
Claude Vonstroke returns to the desert to bless our ears, known for immersive open-to-close sets, quirky stage persona, and community-driven events like Dirtybird Campout. One of California’s own, AYYBO, an Anaheim-born producer who grew up playing high school drumline; later turned to house, hip-hop, and ska influences during road trips with his dad. He actually broke out with the streaming hit “HYPNOSIS” (2022), earning millions of streams and even a remix from Pitbull.
Up and coming – Emmit Fenn, Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and producer known for dreamy, cinematic soundscapes in the realm of indie electronica /vapor soul. With a very ethereal sound, blending acoustic and electronic elements, forging introspective, emotionally rich music suited more for listening than peak‑hours rave sets.
Hailing from Mexico City, Andruss specializes in tech‑house infused with Latin and reggaetón flavors, blending driving grooves, percussion-driven drops, and catchy vocal hooks that will match the poolside vibe perfectly. He just recently made his US debut in March 2024 supporting Cloonee at Space Miami, followed by a sold-out 9-date US tour in September.
Splash House After Hours at the Palm Springs Air Museum
Splash House’s signature After Hours series transforms the Air Museum into a desert rave. Weekend One delivers a special Diplo B2B BLOND:ISH set, the debut of Waxtroda (Wax Motif x Matroda), and a set from Chicago’s Azzecca. Weekend Two follows up with a return of the iconic duo Disclosure and sleek tech-house vibes courtesy of our beloved, spicy boy, latin house king, Cloonee.
What To Wear to Splash House 2025?
Splash House is the epitome of poolside party meets music festival—so your outfit should be equal parts fun, cool, and ready for the desert heat.
Here’s a breakdown to help you slay each day and night while staying comfortable:
What To Wear To The Pools –
Vibe: Tropical rave, Y2K nostalgia, retro resort-core, funky streetwear.
For Women –
Swimsuit: Statement bikini or one-piece (cutouts, metallics, neon, mesh details). Cover-up, mesh skirt, crochet dress, oversized button-up, or sheer pants. Footwear: platform sandals, cute slides.
For Men –
Swim trunks: Bold prints, 5-inch inseams are popular.
Top: open shirt (Hawaiian, mesh, satin), tank top, or none.
Footwear: Slides or sporty sandals with good grip.
To The After Hours (Palm Springs Air Museum)
Vibe: Desert rave chic, elevated streetwear, stylish but dance-friendly.
For Everyone – lightweight layers, it can cool off at night—bring a light jacket or mesh hoodie. Breathable outfits, think two-piece sets, cargo pants + crop tops, mesh bodysuits, or jersey-style fits. Comfortable shoes, closed-toe sneakers or boots you can dance in all night.
Pro Tips:
Hydration pack or collapsible water bottle = lifesaver.
Sunscreen: Apply frequently, especially during pool hours. Cooling towel or mini fan for peak heat times.
Coordinate with your crew for cute group looks or themes (animal print, disco, Y2K, tropical vibes). This is a recurring vibe that groups bring to festivals in general.
Stay, Play, & Experience the Desert
Splash House offers exclusive hotel packages that keep the experience seamless and immersive. Stay at the festival’s core properties—the Renaissance, Saguaro, or Riviera—for direct access to the action, or opt for off-site options like the Hilton Palm Springs or L3 Oasis. Packages include a 3-night stay, festival wristbands, and shuttle service between venues—ensuring effortless exploration of all that Splash House has to offer.
Based on my experience from the last few years, the shuttles were a great way to get from one hotel to another, the team was on top of it, they were moving quickly and conveniently, but if you miss one or prefer a more private ride, Ubers and Lyfts are available 24 hours.
