It’s springtime in the Coachella Valley, which means just about everywhere you look there’s a pool party brimming with 20-somethings sipping on mojitos while deep house echoes from the speakers to the desert sky.
Bearing that in mind, when Goldenvoice announced another Coachella-centered pool event, the four-day spectacle seemed excessive for the saturated market. Even with a roster of top-tier electronic tastemakers, the Goldenvoice Surf Club had to elevate and execute its amenities to stand out from the crowd. And they did.
Having been gifted the honor of hosting their soiree at the infrequently-used Palm Springs Surf Club, Goldenvoice took full advantage of the built-in infrastructure to create a one-of-a-kind experience for dance music lovers.

Once a former water park, the grounds at the Palm Springs Surf Club included accommodations not found at your run-of-the-mill desert pool party. From water slides, a meandering lazy river, a swimming pool and a massive surfing wave pool, these accessible water play areas added a level of amusement that blended perfectly with the house music blasting from the amplifiers.

Promoters also included an early morning wellness package for those wanting a more relaxing start to their day. Sound baths, yoga, HIIT training and guided meditation were just a few of the health-focused activities available to guests.

As for daily programming, the talent performing across both weekends included a who’s who of stars from across the electronic music spectrum. Spread across two distinct stages, the main stage was situated alongside a picturesque grassy amphitheater, while the Beatport Next stage featured rising acts in an indoor setting.
Notable performances from all four days include Mary Droppinz, Barry Can’t Swim, Bicep, Mall Grab b2b Skin On Skin, Skream and Juliet Mendoza.

In the end, Goldenvoice prevailed as it took full advantage of the amenities provided by the Palm Springs Surf Club. The unique setting allowed for a more jovial tone to take place amongst the many aquatic features scattered throughout the property.
The Goldenvoice Surf Club was a true adult playground, and we’re hoping for a return to Coachella 2025 and beyond. You can find out more about the series here.
