Cali Vibes Returns to Long Beach with Another Banger of a Line-Up All Weekend Long
Festival season is here already and it’s gonna be LIT!! Seriously, LIT at Cali Vibes! It seems there’s never really a bad time of the year to hold a music festival, especially when those festivals are in Southern California. The winter might still be with us, the California sun and the mild winters allow for a comfortable time outdoors for three days and nights. Golden Voice has done it again this year with a packed tight, top shelf bowl line up that will have you high long after the festival’s weekend. Tickets are still available but limited for this once in a lifetime experience.
Each year we have covered and featured Cali Vibes, it’s been nothing but fire and great vibes. Join us in Long Beach as we celebrate music, art, and Cannabis! This year’s sponsor of the Vibes stage is American Weed Company. Cali Vibes knows great Reggae and Hip-Hop and this year’s line-up is even BIGGER than last year for both genres of music. As you may have heard, 2023 celebrated 50 years of Hip-Hop, the music, the culture, the art is all part of that. Cali Vibes is celebrating artists both local and abroad this year with a special Saturday performance from Orange County’s own, Gwen Stefani! I suspect Gwen will be bringing all her hits along with some SKA hits that helped launch her career with her original band, No Doubt.
Here’s the Line-up for three days of hard hitting Reggae and Hip-Hop.
This year’s line up is fire everyday!
There are three stages at Cali Vibes; The Greens, The Vibes, and the Boomyard stage. Each stage will offer audiences an opportunity to see and hear artists from around the world as well as locally. This year’s line-up includes Stephen Marley and & Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley on the Vibes stage in the early evening on Friday and Stephen’s daughter Mystic Marley will be performing on the smaller world stage, Boomyard stage on Saturday afternoon. It’s awesome to know how far Bob Marley’s legacy has carried on through his children and grandchildren. Speaking of Bob, check out the new movie about Bob this week “One Love” (opening in theaters on February 14).
The weather, what to wear and bring.
Friday and Saturday’s forecast says partly cloudy and it will be a bit chilly day and night. Most of us here in the region know to layer clothing from day to night, it’s going to be colder this weekend than last year. Sunday is indicating rain, so make sure to bring a rain poncho or rain coat to stay dry. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, it’s a lot of walking and standing throughout the day. Check out all the items that are allowed and not allowed here.
Cashless Cali Vibes, make sure you plan ahead to pay with a credit or debit card for food and goods inside.
Tickets are still available for most levels of tickets, get yours here.

There is going to be incredible amount of brands and products to purchase while you’re there, make sure to visit both the Cali Vibes merch booths as well as your favorite artist’s booths selling branded apparel and more. I’m going to predict that once again Stick Figure’s merch booth will have the largest line out of all, beautiful artwork, quality threads. Supporting your favorite artists and looking good is what it’s all about. Many of these bands are launching their year’s tours at Cali Vibes, so that is another reason to go this weekend to Cali Vibes.
