TL;DR

Splash House returned to Palm Springs for two weekends in August 2026, spreading house, bass, and techno across three resort hotels and the Palm Springs Air Museum.

New Venues and After-Hours Activations

The 2026 edition of Splash House incorporated the Palm Springs Hilton into its roster, replacing the Margaritaville Resort. The Hilton was easily integrated into the mix, showcasing top-tier production throughout its footprint. The after-hours event at the Palm Springs Air Museum also featured new activations, including a small stage near the entrance where burgeoning artists performed.

Poolside House to After-Hours Bass

The festival's eclectic soundscapes spread across three resort hotels and the airport museum, mixing house, bass, and techno from day to night. Whether daytime poolside lounging or raving in the evening next to World War II aircraft, the sounds of house music enveloped every venue. The unique event marries festival vibes with a laidback pool party atmosphere.

Standout Sets

Kaskade brought his Redux set to the desert, while Alison Wonderland delivered her signature bass-heavy performance. Gorgon City kept the house grooves flowing, and rising talents Riordan and OMNOM rounded out the weekend's defining performances.
