Remember the days when MTV had its beach house and people hung out at the pool, watching artists perform in between Carson Daly talking about some up-and-coming artist like Backstreet Boys?
You can recapture the fun of pool parties and music minus the boy bands when Splash House invades Palm Springs Aug. 10 and 11. Nearly two dozen electro artists and DJs have been announced to appear across three pools. You can take a free shuttle between the three pools at Saguaro Hotel, Caliente Tropics and The Curve hotel.
The lineup includes Anna Lunoe, Bones, Bag Raiders (DJ Set), Bixel Boys, Brazzabelle, Classixx, Colourvision, Eats Everything, Juan MacLean (DJ Set), Kedd Cook, Kidnap Kid, Miami Horror (DJ Set), Modus, Neon Indian (DJ Set), Para One, Perseus, Plastic Plates, Poolside (DJ set), Posso, Steffi Graf, Tropicool and Viceroy.
A wristband will get you into the three pools, plus select after parties. Right now, the tickets are $99 for a two-day general admission pass and $55 for an individual day’s general admission pass. You have to be 21 or older to attend the event.
You can purchase them at the Splash House website at www.splashhouse.com.
And because Tropicool has my favorite name on the lineup, here’s “Dopamine Dreams.”
