The lineup also features a diverse range of artists such as Andy Frasco and The U.N., Daily Bread, a Desert Hearts beach takeover, Eggy, Justin Jay, Wreckno, Zingara, and many more. Genres span Bass, Electronic, House, Jam, Funk, and Rock, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

This year, SSBD is also introducing a new, multi-faceted area that promises to be a major attraction.
