Ohana Festival Rocks Doheny State Beach

August 27 & 28, 2016: Eddie Vedder headlined the inaugural Ohana Festival this past weekend at Doheny State Beach. The event benefited the Orange County State Beaches, California State Parks and the San Onofre Parks Foundation.

Saturday’s performances included a spirited set from Alt rock veterans Mudhoney and 80’s LA stars X. Elvis Costello also took the stage at dusk for an incredible solo performance showcasing his guitar and piano solos throughout the set. Vedder joined Costello on stage at the end of his session for a spirited version of “Peace, Love and Understanding.”

Vedder started off his set with a parade of ukulele hits which thrilled the crowd. He wrapped up the night with an amazing duet with pro surfer Kelly Slater, who’s singing prowess deserves much praise.

Sunday’s crowd was entertained by another solid lineup of bands, including City and Colour and headlined by Lana Del Rey. Vedder also returned Sunday evening to join Del Rey on stage to put the finishing touch on an amazing weekend of music. Naturally, we can’t wait for next year’s show!
