Spring is a time for renewal. It’s also a time for music festivals, and one of the best locations in Southern California for a festival is the beautiful Brookside at The Rose Bowl. On May 10th, the venue situated just next door to the infamous Rose Bowl stadium is hosting the Just Like Heaven Festival once again.
Just Like Heaven has long been known for its eclectic lineup, spanning indie, alternative, electronica, punk, and everything in between, and this year’s edition is no exception – the 2025 lineup is positively stacked!

Headliner Vampire Weekend is riding the momentum of their upcoming album release, “Only God Was Above Us,” which is due out April 5th. Be ready for the “Oxford Comma,” and “A-Punk” to be delivered to the masses!
Also exciting is the reunion of Rilo Kiley and their first show in 17 years.
The excitement doesn’t stop there – expect electrifying sets from Empire of the Sun, Bloc Party, TV On the Radio, Grouplove, Peter Bjorn and John, and many, many more.
Beyond the music, the festival offers unique experiences: A Club Called Rhonda, dubbed for LA’s preeminent party girl, concertgoers can dance on a checkered floor as the “iconic diva” delivers her awesome curated DJ sets all day long.
For the music-loving parents and their kids in tow, there’s the Cosmic Kids Land, where parents can rest in a shaded tent while the kids have fun and get into space-themed activities, such as galactic bubbles, interstellar instruments, planetary Polaroids, cosmic crafts, and more. Kids 10 and under can enter the festival for free!
Tickets are on sale now, and besides the usual general admission and VIP experience, Goldenvoice is offering the ultimate ticket called “Clubhouse Access,” which is for the 21+ crowd only. Experience entry to the indoor air-conditioned Clubhouse, centrally located inside the festival with a ton of perks, including complimentary gourmet food and drinks.
The Just Like Heaven Festival takes place on May 10th at Brookside at The Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
Tickets are selling fast; secure yours now and get ready for an unforgettable day of music, nostalgia, and festival magic.
