The BeachLife Festival, a first-of-its-kind coastal event in Los Angeles taking place this May 3 – 5, 2019 at Redondo Beach, California’s Seaside Lagoon, is pleased to announce it has partnered with Body Glove, the globally recognized outdoor water sports brand founded in 1953 in Redondo Beach. Over the festival’s three days, Body Glove will be on-site hosting interactive activities and free giveaways, as well as serving up surfside drinks at the “Body Glove Bar.” Several of Body Glove’s professional athletes will be in attendance at the festival’s May 2 kick-off event, the World Surf League’s Big Wave Awards, including big wave surfer Alex Gray and world champion wakeboarder Harley Clifford.
“Body Glove is an iconic water sports brand born right here in Redondo Beach, so they’re woven into the fabric of the community in a strong way and we’re stoked they want to be a part of BeachLife,” said Allen Sanford, co-founder of the BeachLife Festival. “The Meistrells aren’t just a part of the South Bay family, now they’re a part of the BeachLife family and we’re happy to have them along for the ride. They represent the ultimate beach lifestyle and will be globally recognized by festival-goers attending from all over the world.”
“Partnering with Beach Life Festival is a natural fit for us. Redondo Beach is our backyard and where my grandfather built the Body Glove brand,” said Nick Meistrell, Body Glove’s marketing director. “Our brand is everything the festival is about, from the beach culture to music to surfing and having a good time with friends new and old. It’s what we live for.”
The BeachLife Festival is a three-day immersive experience celebrating Southern California beach culture, featuring iconic headliners Brian Wilson, Bob Weir and Willie Nelson performing oceanside, along with artists who are synonymous with SoCal ‘beach life’ including Jason Mraz, Ziggy Marley, Violent Femmes, Steel Pulse, Grace Potter, Blues Traveler, Bruce Hornsby, Everclear, Chevy Metal, Sugar Ray, Donavon Frankenreiter, and many more.
Designed to embrace SoCal’s coastal essence where live music is synonymous with sand in your toes and a cold drink in hand, The BeachLife Festival will feature California culinary stars and multiple surf and skateboarding components in addition to the 40 musical acts. The BeachLife Festival will also take a “content-first” approach by creating a highly-integrated level of engagement between artists and guests – even before announced musical acts take the stage.
Single Day General Admission, VIP and Captain’s passes can be purchased for $97, $275 and $995, respectively, While Three Day General Admission passes are sold out, Three Day VIP and Three Day Captain’s passes are still available for $795 and $2,500 respectively. Tickets can be purchased on the BeachLife website. A percentage of ticket sales will be donated to several charities, including: Surfrider Foundation, 5 Gyres, and Redondo Beach Police Foundation.
The BeachLife Festival will be located at 137 N. Harbor Drive in Redondo Beach, California. Website: Beachlifefestival.com
