Desert Air music festival returning to Palm Springs, Kaytranada and Jamie xx to headline

Desert Air, a winter electronic music festival founded by Goldenvoice and the organizers of Splash House in 2021, is returning Nov. 15-17 at the Palm Springs Air Museum and Palm Springs Surf Club.

Similar to Splash House, the air travel-themed festival features a mix of DJs and electronic music trendsetters in open-air venues. Desert Air will also include distinguished food offerings, after parties and more reflecting the local nightlife and cultural aesthetics of Palm Springs. The Palm Springs Surf Club will host daytime music programming and other activities and shift to the tarmac of the Palm Springs Air Museum during the evening.

"Our goal has always been to offer live music experiences during off-peak times for local tourism, and this is a new extension of that," said Tyler McLean, founder and producer of Splash House, in 2021.

Thousands attended the 2021 Desert Air festival

McLean told The Desert Sun in 2021 he anticipated 3,000 people to attend throughout the weekend, adding the number was lighter than Splash House earlier that summer, which saw 7,000 people daily at Margaritaville Resort Palm Springs, The Saguaro Palm Springs, Renaissance Palm Springs Hotel and the Palm Springs Air Museum.

Peggy Gou, The Martinez Brothers, Channel Tres and more performed during the 2021 festival.
