Desert Daze - Festival 2021
I was so happy to be back taking photos in the US after such a long time not beeing able to travel due to the Pandemic !
With Lake Perris in southern California as its backdrop, Desert Daze aims to be an intimate Festival with a sharp Line Up and an amazing atmosphere ! The 2021 edition was scaled down but still pretty exciting with The War on Drugs, Kamasi Washington, Deap Vally, Ty Segall, Kikagaku Moyo and many more bands on the bill. Definetely one on my list of favorite Festivals. A few pictures below :
