Splash House 2023: What to know about tickets, field trips, who's performing and more

The Coachella Valley’s hottest music event of the summer is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, and there’s still time to snag a ticket.

Part pool party, part electronic dance music festival, Splash House kicks off this Friday, and the lineup features EDM favorites Chromeo, Armand Van Helden, The Knocks, Purple Disco Machine and many more.

Here’s everything you need to know to get in on the fun:

What is Splash House?

Splash House is a co-production of Goldenvoice, the promoters behind the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and Stagecoach country music festival, that was founded in 2013 by desert locals (and siblings) Tyler and Kelly McLean.

The event, which takes place across three Palm Springs hotels, is the city’s largest summer concert, continually drawing thousands despite its occurrence during the area’s slowest (and hottest season). All artists perform poolside, so festivalgoers can kick back, cool off and enjoy an array of EDM acts while taking a dip.

When and where does the festival take place?

Splash House takes place on three weekends spread across the summer:

• The June edition of the festival occurs on June 9-11

• The two August editions of the festival take place Aug. 11-13 and Aug. 18-20

Each of the three weekends, all performances are spread across three Palm Springs hotels:

• Renaissance Palm Springs Hotel, 888 E. Tahquitz Canyon Way

• Margaritaville Resort Palm Springs, 1600 N. Indian Canyon Drive

• Saguaro Palm Springs, 1800 E. Palm Canyon Drive
