If you missed your chance at scoring tickets to the sold out June edition of Splash House 2015, you may have another shot at dancing with your inflatable shark to tropical house music this summer. Due to high ticket demand, the growingly popular poolside music festival, Splash House, has announced that it will be adding the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs as a third venue to its August edition. This means that more attendees will have the opportunity to purchase hotel packages—news that Los Angeles, San Diego, and Orange County festivalgoers are very happy to hear.
Splash House returns to downtown Palm Springs August 8-9 to grace the pools and hotel balconies of The Hilton, The Saguaro, and the Hard Rock Hotel. The poolside stages are connected via non-stop transit shuttles (included in the price of admission) that eliminate excess traffic and efficiently allow attendees to get from venue to venue. All rooms at each hotel are exclusively reserved for festival ticket holders, “making for undeniable summer camp-like atmospheres” according to Splash House. “The experience of staying at a hotel within a music festival is unique,” said Tyler McLean, Splash House co-founder. Past festival attendees share that staying at Splash House provides an enjoyable, communal experience. From decorating hotel balconies for friendly competitions, to grabbing a bottomless mimosa brunch before hitting the pool, rooming with Splash House for the weekend provides never-ending good vibes.
Splash House has continued to grow since its debut in 2013, and has impressively attracted past Coachella artists including Flume, Anna Lunoe, A-Trak, Cut Copy, and Chromeo. Splash House has been praised by the LA Times and Vice for being “a unique weekender that [has the potential to grow] into something iconic.” Reviews of the sold-out June edition of Splash House rave about the festival’s welcoming pool party culture and its remarkable retro-inspired desert setting.
This year’s August program will feature a tropical house-disco fusion of artists including Tokimonsta, Shiba San, Klingande, Trippy Turtle, Com Truise, Jonas Rathsman, The Knocks and many more. The eclectic musical line up is perfect for setting the ideal dreamy and dancey vibe for the millennial poolside festival.
Hotel packages for the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs went on sale Friday, July 10 and will most likely sell out as quickly as The Saguaro and The Hilton did— so time is of the essence if you want your ticket to Palm Springs’ quintessential pool party. Hotel packages and General Admission tickets can be purchased at: www.splashhouse.com. Don’t miss your last opportunity to party with Splash House this summer. See you by the pool!
