Splash House Weekend 2 2026 Brings the Party Back to Palm Springs

Splash House Weekend 2 2026 Brings the Party Back to Palm Springs
Splash House returned to Palm Springs for Weekend 2 from August 14 through August 16, 2026, closing out another summer of electronic music, pool parties, and late-night sets in the California desert.
The second weekend spread the daytime action across three Palm Springs hotels: the Renaissance, Saguaro, and Hilton. The Hilton was a new addition for 2026, replacing the Riviera as one of the festival’s three host hotels. After the pools closed, the party moved to the Palm Springs Air Museum for separately ticketed After Hours events on Friday and Saturday night.
That setup remains one of the biggest reasons Splash House stands apart from other California EDM festivals. Instead of spending the entire day at one festival site, attendees can move between different hotels, pools, and stages. Complimentary shuttles connect the host venues, making it possible to build your own schedule around the artists you want to see.
Weekend 2 Splash House brought a deep electronic music lineup to Palm Springs, including Alison Wonderland, OMNOM, Riordan, D.O.D, Prospa, Tiga, Whethan, YDG, Classmatic, BL3SS, GUDFELLA and many more.
Three Pool Stages Create Three Different Festival Routes
Splash House is built around movement. There is no single main stage that everyone has to follow. Saturday and Sunday offered overlapping sets at the Renaissance, Saguaro and Hilton, giving festivalgoers plenty of reasons to move around Palm Springs throughout the afternoon and evening.
Saturday started at the Renaissance with Wet Velvet at 1:00 p.m., followed by 440Hz, WELKER, Torren Foot, Fallon and GUDFELLA before OMNOM closed the stage with a 7:30 p.m. set.
The Saguaro schedule began with Chica at 1:00 p.m. LIGHTLEAK, Murphy’s Law and Jamback followed before Riordan took over at 7:00 p.m.
Over at the Hilton, Pitchblack opened at 1:00 p.m., followed by spüke, Atura, AVELLO and Know Good. Alison Wonderland closed the Hilton stage beginning at 7:15 p.m.
Sunday gave fans another full afternoon of electronic music. At the Renaissance, the schedule moved from the TBA DJ Mix Contest Winner into Tommy Phillips, Julian Fijma, Classmatic and Tiga before Prospa began the final set at 8:30 p.m.
Saguaro featured Devdea, Broken Hill, Twin Diplomacy and OMRI. Before D.O.D closed the stage, starting at 8:00 p.m.
The Hilton lineup included Matt Faulk, Tsu Nami, Arlo, BL3SS and YDG before Whethan took over at 8:15 p.m.
The overlapping schedules created choices throughout both days. Fans could settle into one hotel or spend the afternoon bouncing between pools depending on which artists they wanted to catch.
Saturday Delivers OMNOM, Riordan and Alison Wonderland
Saturday’s schedule put three major sets against the Palm Springs sunset and early evening.
OMNOM took the Renaissance stage at 7:30 p.m., while Riordan started at Saguaro at 7:00 p.m. Alison Wonderland began at Hilton at 7:15 p.m.
That scheduling made Saturday a choose-your-own-adventure for electronic music fans.
Earlier in the day, the lineup gave attendees plenty to explore. GUDFELLA played Renaissance from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m., Jamback performed at Saguaro from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m., and Know Good occupied the Hilton stage from 5:45 to 7:15 p.m.
The afternoon schedule was just as packed. Fallon, Murphy’s Law and AVELLO all had 4:00-hour sets at their respective hotels, while Torren Foot, LIGHTLEAK and Atura handled the previous time slots.
That depth is important at Splash House. The festival experience is bigger than waiting all day for a single headliner. There is electronic music running across multiple pools for hours, giving attendees a chance to find something different each time they change venues.
Sunday Closes Strong With Prospa, D.O.D and Whethan
Sunday kept the momentum going with another three-stage schedule.
The Renaissance featured a particularly strong late afternoon run with Julian Fijma from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m., Classmatic from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m., Tiga from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., and Prospa beginning at 8:30 p.m.
Saguaro offered Broken Hill from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m., Twin Diplomacy from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m., OMRI from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m., and D.O.D beginning at 8:00 p.m.
Hilton moved from Tsu Nami into Arlo, BL3SS, YDG, and finally Whethan at 8:15 p.m.
Once again, the schedule forced some difficult decisions late in the day. Prospa, D.O.D and Whethan all occupied closing slots at different hotels.
For fans searching for a Palm Springs electronic music festival with a wide selection of DJs, Splash House Weekend 2 delivered a lineup that stayed busy from the first afternoon sets through Sunday night.
After Hours Takes Splash House to the Palm Springs Air Museum
The pool stages are only one part of the Splash House experience.
After Hours moves the festival to the Palm Springs Air Museum, where electronic music continues at night among archived aircraft with the San Jacinto Mountains surrounding the area.
Friday night began with Milad Squad B2B Masala from 9:00 to 9:30 p.m. SCRIPT followed from 9:30 to 10:30 p.m., with Jackie Hollander taking over from 10:30 p.m. until midnight. Gorgon City then closed Friday with a set beginning at midnight.
Saturday’s After Hours schedule started later. ROSEY performed from 10:00 to 10:30 p.m., followed by TOBEHONEST from 10:30 p.m. until midnight. Kaskade Redux then took over at midnight to close the night.
The Air Museum creates a dramatic change of scenery from the daytime hotel pools. Splash House officially describes the experience as moving from three resort pools during the day to parties among vintage aircraft at night, and that contrast has become a defining part of the festival format.
A Wide Mix of House, Bass and Electronic Music
Weekend 2 showed why Splash House continues to appeal to a broad electronic music audience.
Artists including OMNOM, Riordan, Tiga, Prospa and D.O.D gave house music fans plenty to build a schedule around. Alison Wonderland and Whethan expanded the musical range of the weekend, while the supporting lineup provided dozens of additional opportunities to discover artists across the three pool venues.
The format also makes music discovery easier. Walking into a different hotel means walking into another set, another crowd, and another corner of the festival.
For anyone asking, “What are the best EDM festival experiences in California?” Splash House has a format that is difficult to duplicate. Palm Springs becomes part of the festival itself, rather than simply serving as the city where the event happens.
Splash House Weekend 2 Wraps Up the 2026 Season
Splash House Weekend 2 closed the 2026 season with three days of poolside electronic music and two nights of After Hours programming.
Saturday brought OMNOM, Riordan and Alison Wonderland into the final pool slots. Sunday answered with Prospa, D.O.D and Whethan. At night, the Palm Springs Air Museum featured Gorgon City on Friday and Kaskade Redux on Saturday.
The combination of resort pools, Palm Springs scenery, multiple electronic music styles, and late-night Air Museum sets continues to give Splash House its own identity within the Southern California festival calendar.
With both 2026 weekends now complete, the attention turns toward another summer in the desert. Keep an eye on the official Splash House website for future festival announcements and the next chance to return to the pools in Palm Springs.
