The lineup for this year's Desert Daze festival was just announced. Beloved LA bands Warpaint and Failure are set to headline the event along with RJD2, Minus the Bear, Dan Deacon and tons more. Once again, psych rock destroyers Dahga Bloom are on the bill repping OC along with LA-by way of South County band Mr. Elevator and the Brain Hotel. This year, Moon Block Party's annual full-day excursion out to the Sunset Ranch Oasis is pushed back to May 2 (though typically help in April). It'll continue to be a one-day, one-night event with camping available. Tickets are currently on sale starting at $55 for general admission. For full lineup, poster and event info, see below. Though we're sad that it won't technically qualify as one of our favorite Coachella parties this year, the decision to move it back on the calendar and further solidify its ability to stand on its own earns them thumbs up from us.
