Long Beach’s beloved Cali Vibes Music Festival is making big moves in 2025, both literally and figuratively. Goldenvoice’s premier reggae and beach culture festival is shaking things up, shifting from its traditional February weekend to a brand-new summer schedule on June 7-8 at Marina Green Park. Not only that, but the festival has downsized from three days to two, condensing all the irresistible vibes, legendary performances, and oceanfront magic into an action-packed weekend.
And let’s talk about that lineup—because this one is stacked.
A Festival-Exclusive Performance & Special Collaborations
If you live in Southern California and love Stick Figure, listen up: this is your only chance to catch them live in SoCal in 2025. That’s right—Cali Vibes will be Scott Woodruff & Co.’s exclusive Southern California performance this year, making it an absolute must-attend for the diehard fans.
Not to be outdone, Slightly Stoopid is rolling into Long Beach with some serious surprises. Performing as “Slightly Stoopid and Friends,” the Ocean Beach legends are known for throwing down massive jam-style collaborations and unforgettable guest appearances at festivals. Expect this to be one of those “were you there?” moments that only happen at Cali Vibes.
Reggae’s Biggest Names & Hip-Hop’s Finest Collide
Reggae and Cali lifestyle music remain at the heart of the festival, with Rebelution, Dirty Heads, Iration, Pepper, J Boog, and Steel Pulse bringing their signature island-infused sound to the waterfront stage. The festival also shines a light on emerging talent, including The Elovaters, Fortunate Youth, HIRIE, and Landon McNamara, the Hawaiian-born pro surfer and reggae artist whose name has been blowing up in both the surf and music worlds after his big win at the 2024 Eddie Aikau Invitational.
On the hip-hop side, Cypress Hill is set to perform their entire classic album Black Sunday, delivering legendary tracks like “Insane in the Brain” and “Hits from the Bong” in full for longtime fans. Kid Cudi joins the lineup with his otherworldly energy, while Ludacris is bringing the high-energy, chart-dominating hip-hop nostalgia that never fails to get the crowd hyped.
And let’s not forget about YG Marley, the grandson of Bob Marley and son of Lauryn Hill, who is set to carry the torch of his family’s legacy while making a name for himself in his own right.
Festival Experience & What’s New for 2025
Aside from the shift to June and the two-day format, Cali Vibes is evolving in other exciting ways. The festival remains dedicated to sustainability, with $5 from every pass sold going toward environmental initiatives. Additionally, a limited-edition Cali Vibes merch drop will raise funds for California wildfire relief efforts, and first responders and military members who purchase passes through GovX will receive a special complimentary merch bundle at the festival.
Of course, the immersive art, top-tier food vendors, craft cocktails, and stunning oceanfront views that make Cali Vibes one of the most scenic festivals in the country will all be back. And for those looking for a next-level VIP experience, the Beach Club Pass is available again this year, offering luxury lounges, complimentary drinks and bites, premium viewing areas, and private restrooms.
