If catching a wave gets you more stoked than camping out in the desert for three days at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, then get ready to hang loose.

The Surf Club, put on by promoter Goldenvoice at the Palm Springs Surf Club, returns with its resort-style weekend parties, headlined by top EDM artists and coinciding with the festival just a few miles away.

Saturday and Sunday will feature performances by Sammy Virji, Chris Lorenzo, Fcukers (DJ set), Atrip, Sandra Landry, Rico Nasty, Vtss and Kitty Ca$h. April 19 and 20 will bring Polo & Pan (DJ set), Ben Böhmer, Maribou State (DJ set), Josh Conway (The Marías), Eli Brown, Max Styler, Massano and Carola.

New to this year’s event is the Expression Sessions pro surf competition, hosted by Surfer Magazine, which will take place both weekends alongside live entertainment. Pro surfers will compete in the wave pool for $4,000 in cash prizes for best air, best wave and most creative. Surf talent includes Jacob “Zeke” Szekely, Blair Conklin, Jett Schilling, Chance Gaul and more to be announced.

Single-day tickets start at $49, and weekend passes are available starting at $85 at gvsurfclub.com. Passes grant access to the park’s features, including the music amphitheater, the main pool, the lazy river, Amala restaurant and the island bar. Those who want the full experience of the park, which includes access to the water slides, can purchase an additional pass for $20 on-site.

While Coachella has previously hosted similar off-site activations, including the Coachella Day Club pool parties, which have featured performances by electronic and dance music artists, last year was the first time Goldenvoice hosted Surf Club. Programming included sets by Jungle, Neil Frances, Bicep DJ, Barry Can’t Swim and Juliet Mendoza.

The property was known as the Wet n’ Wild Park before being approved for an estimated $80 million renovation in 2019. It reopened as Palms Springs Surf Club in January 2024 but shut down after 10 days due to technical issues. However, it reopened just in time to host the first iteration of Surf Club.
