Big music news for your Monday! Desert Daze festival is returning to the shores of Lake Perris in Riverside County, September 30th-October 2nd and just dropped a spectacular lineup. The announcement calls for a vibe out to headliner Tame Impala’s 2012 release “Apocalypse” from “Lonerism.” He’s set to perform this album in its entirety in celebration of the 10th anniversary of its release. We hear “Kepler-22b” from fellow prolific Aussie rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard who also grace the Desert Daze lineup.

We’ve got all the deets, including the full lineup, lodging info, and your ticket pre-sale to Southern California’s favorite psychedelic desert extravaganza!

Plus we ease into the week with “Let’s Live, ”a tranquil cut off FKJ’s (short for French Kiwi Juice) brand new album “Vincent. And a cool Persian cover by Martin Kanian of the Stevie Wonder’s 1976 classic “Past Time Paradise.”
