Pier Play has sold out all four of its earlier editions, and this year it grows to two days. The stage sits on the pier itself, so the afternoon sets run into a sunset over the Pacific. The lineup leans toward melodic house and techno, with Meduza, Monolink and Claptone at the top of the bill.
What to expect
An oceanside stage on the pier with sunset views, a capped crowd, and interactive installations around the dance floor. Sets run from mid-afternoon until 10:30 p.m. each day.

- Metro's E Line ends at Downtown Santa Monica, a short walk from the pier.
