HUSHfest: Ocean BeachTRUST. A loaded concept that takes years to build and seconds to destroy. HUSHconcerts has have earned it from event producers, civic agencies, and our community through over 20 years of creatively curated and professionally-managed events. Said trust enables us to do things that others might consider improbable. Cases in point? Our upcoming HUSHcasts at Ocean Beach and Hardly Strictly.
After 5 years of events ay Ocean Beach, one might take them for granted, but we do not. We remember a time when the beach had no music, long before we started convincing the three different civic agencies that now enthusiastically support our event. And to repay that trust we present our most globetrotting lineup, featuring MAD PROFESSOR, KARSH KALE and MARTIN FLEX. We are also super proud to have earned the trust of the City’s largest free music gathering Hardly Strictly. We did this by curating a lineup as musically daring, and profound as the event itself. This year’s activation includes 20 Djs each playing deep-dive theme sets in line with the HSB’s ethos. With events like these, we hope we can continue to earn your trust.
