Formed in 2020, Columbian trio Balthvs are known for their atmospheric chill groove-driven psychedelic funk sound that blends global influences with '70s stoner rock, disco, Cumbia, and ambient textures. They’ve been prolifically building up their discography with popular albums such as their debut MACROCOSM (2020), as well as Cause & Effect (2022), and Third Vibration (2023). They’ve performed at notable festivals such as SXSW, Rock al Parque, Outside Lands, and Austin City Limits, and their significant worldwide following is evident from their extensive streaming numbers.

The CRSSD Festival Fall ’25 electronic music fest offers food and drink vendors, art installations, water-themed features, and fashion-centered events and displays.

The bill includes costumed Australian showmen Empire of the Sun, accountant-turned-global DJ John Summit, Berlin-based DJ-producer Boys Noize, Dirtybird Records honcho Claude VonStroke, UK house DJ-producer Cloonee, Welsh DJ Jamie Jones, German DJ-producer Purple Disco Machine, DARKSIDE, Caribou, Maribou State, and more.

- Humphreys by the Bay, 2241 Shelter Island Drive, San Diego
- Age Limit: Not available
Founded in 1992, Welsh band Stereophonics achieved mainstream attention and praise in the late 1990s and early 2000s with hits like “Have a Nice Day” and “Dakota.” They’ve enjoyed consistent chart success, with multiple number one albums in the UK, and an evergreen presence on the outdoor festival circuit. Known for their anthemic alt-rock sound, frontman Kelly Jones’ gravelly vocals and storytelling lyrics provide insightful glimpses into Welsh working-class life, as well as musings on more universal themes of everyday life and shared human experiences. They’re touring in support of their thirteenth studio album, Make ‘Em Laugh, Make ‘Em Cry, Make ‘Em Wait, which topped the UK Albums chart in April.
