ANAHEIM, Calif. — Since 2016, Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder and Los Angeles-based concert promoter Live Nation have curated the annual Ohana Festival, bringing music, art, education and diversity to the multiday event, which takes place at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point.
Now in its sixth year, Ohana returns to its seaside home Sept. 30-Oct. 2 with Stevie Nicks, Vedder and Pink topping the bill, along with an eclectic mix of other artists like Khruangbin, Brittany Howard, Jack White, Billy Strings, Manchester Orchestra, St. Vincent, Dermot Kennedy, Grouplove, Bomba Estero, Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, The Revivalists and many more.
“It would be easy to put a bunch of like-minded rock bands on the bill, and you will see some of that, but just look at our headliners alone this year: It’s an incredible lineup,” Rich Best, president of booking at Live Nation in California said during a recent Zoom chat.
