Ohana Festival Hits Ten Years on the Sand in 2026!
The Ohana Music Festival is rolling back into Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, California for its 10th anniversary edition across three days, September 25, 26, and 27, 2026. Founded by Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder a decade ago to support local causes near his Southern California home, Ohana has grown from a small beachside gathering into one of the most beloved boutique festivals on the West Coast. The setting is unmatched: a sandy stretch of state park looking out at the Pacific, with palm trees, pelicans, and three days of music from a lineup that mixes legends with the kind of newer acts that always seem to break big right after they play here.
The 10th-anniversary lineup is stacked. Pearl Jam headlines Sunday night, Tyler Childers takes Saturday, and Friday belongs to Eddie Vedder and Friends alongside Mexican rock icons Mana. The undercard is just as good: Alabama Shakes, Billy Idol, Pixies, Fontaines D.C., Bad Religion, Rilo Kiley, Courtney Barnett, Men I Trust, The Front Bottoms, Stephen Wilson Jr., the recently reunited Sugar, The Format, Otoboke Beaver, Horsegirl, Ecca Vandal, and a whole lot more spread across the festival two stages.
What makes Ohana special is everything outside the music. The festival has always leaned into its charitable mission, with a portion of proceeds supporting causes Eddie Vedder champions including ocean conservation and pediatric care. There is a kids zone for families, an artisan village, sustainable food options, and the chance to roll up your jeans and stand in the surf between sets. Pearl Jam fans, country fans, and indie heads all end up in the same crowd because the lineup is built to bring them together. Ten years in, Ohana still feels like the festival friends tell other friends about.
Doheny State Beach sits right off Pacific Coast Highway in Dana Point, about an hour south of Los Angeles and forty-five minutes north of San Diego. Parking is limited on-site, so most attendees opt for the festival shuttles, rideshare drop-offs, or the nearby Dana Point Harbor lots. Camping is not allowed at the venue itself, but there are plenty of beachfront hotels and Airbnbs within walking distance if you want to make a weekend of it. Single-day passes, three-day GA, and VIP options usually go on sale in waves, and the earliest tickets always sell fastest because Ohana caps capacity to keep the vibe intimate.
If you have been holding out for the right year to make the trip, the 10th anniversary is it. Grab your Ohana Music Festival 2026 tickets through BigStub when listings drop and lock in your spot for a weekend of Pacific sunsets, rock royalty, and the kind of festival energy that only happens once a decade. We will have verified resale tickets ready as soon as inventory hits the marketplace, so check back here for the full schedule and find your seats when the listings go live!
Inside the Ohana Music Festival Story
When Eddie Vedder launched the Ohana Music Festival in 2016, the idea was simple: bring great music to the beach he loved most and use the platform to support causes close to his family. A decade later, that small first-year gathering has grown into a three-day, multi-genre destination event at Doheny State Beach that consistently sells out and consistently lands on year-end best-festival lists. The 2026 edition marks the 10th installment, and the lineup reflects exactly that milestone -- a mix of classic Pearl Jam-orbit acts, current chart movers, and indie discoveries that have become an Ohana signature.
The festival location is half the experience. Doheny State Beach hugs the Pacific in Dana Point, a quiet coastal town in Orange County known for its surf history and harbor culture. The festival grounds occupy the wide grassy area just back from the sand, with two stages set up so attendees can wander between sets, dip into the water, or post up under a palm tree with a cold drink. Sunsets over the ocean during the late afternoon sets have become an Ohana signature -- the kind of moment that ends up on every attendees camera roll.
The 2026 anniversary lineup is one of the strongest in the festival history. Pearl Jam closes the weekend on Sunday, September 27, marking another homecoming-style performance for Vedder on the stage he built. Tyler Childers, the Kentucky country-soul force whose recent run of arena dates has cemented him as one of the genre biggest current draws, headlines Saturday, September 26. Opening night, Friday September 25, features Eddie Vedder and Friends -- an unpredictable set that has historically included guest appearances from artists across the lineup -- and Mexican rock legends Mana, whose stadium-filling catalog of hits brings a different energy to the Doheny sand.
Beyond the headliners, the supporting lineup is where Ohana earns its reputation as a festival worth flying in for. Friday brings Billy Idol, punk veterans Bad Religion, Australian songwriter Courtney Barnett, the recently reunited Bob Mould project Sugar, Japanese punk powerhouse Otoboke Beaver, and rising acts like Florence Road. Saturday adds Alabama Shakes -- back from a long hiatus and one of the most anticipated returns of the year -- plus Men I Trust, Stephen Wilson Jr., and The Front Bottoms. Sunday rolls out Fontaines D.C., the always-incendiary Pixies, indie heroes Rilo Kiley, The Format, Ecca Vandal, and Chicago noise-pop trio Horsegirl.
Ohana also has a charitable backbone that sets it apart from other festivals of its size. Proceeds support a rotating list of causes including ocean conservation, pediatric health initiatives, and local Dana Point community programs. Attendees see the impact firsthand in the on-site nonprofit village, where partner organizations set up booths between the stages and the sand. It is part of why the festival has become a passion project for many of the artists who return year after year, and part of why fans treat Ohana less like a typical festival and more like a yearly pilgrimage.
Logistically, the festival is easy to plan around. Doheny State Beach sits just off Pacific Coast Highway, with parking at nearby lots, an official shuttle service from designated pickup points, and a steady stream of rideshare drop-offs at the main entrance. Camping is not available on-site, but Dana Point and neighboring San Clemente offer plenty of beachfront hotels, vacation rentals, and harbor-adjacent inns within walking distance or a short drive. The 10th-anniversary weekend is expected to sell through faster than usual, and hotel rooms in particular tend to book up months in advance, so planning ahead is the move.
BigStub has been helping fans get into festivals like Ohana for more than 20 years, with verified resale listings, transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and a full buyer guarantee on every order. When 2026 passes hit the secondary market, this is the place to find them.
