KROQ, Travis Barker & John “Feldy” Feldmann’s Back To The Beach lineup also included Reel Big Fish, The Story So Far, Anthony Green, and many more.

At Saturday’s sold-out show, blink-182 treated fans to a first-ever live performance of their Enema Of The State album in its entirety, marking the multiplatinum pop-punk classic’s 20th anniversary. For the second year in a row, Goldfinger’s memorable set turned into an all-star jam, featuring special guest appearances from Sublime With Rome’s Rome Ramirez, 311’s Nick Hexum, The English Beat’s Dave Wakeling, Save Ferris’s Monique Powell, former Goldfinger guitarist Charlie Paulson, and more. Sunday highlights included John Feldmann joining headliners The Used for “All That I’ve Got” and Travis Barker playing drums on Anthony Green’s “Dear Child (I’ve Been Dying To Reach You).” The Used also performed an emotional cover of Linkin Park’s “Shadow Of The Day,” which vocalist Bert McCracken dedicated to the late Chester Bennington. In what can only be described as a truly remarkable moment during the song, the skies opened up and it started to rain for a brief shower, aptly ending as the song came to a close.

The Lil’ Punk KidZone offered healthy, kid-friendly food options, along with games and activities including scavenger hunts, mermaid photo ops, hula hoop instruction, face painting, cartoonist, palm reader, hair braiding, and a giant cornhole game.

The reviews are in and everyone loved Back To The Beach 2019:

One area where Back to the Beach truly succeeded was making sure there was something for everybody. – Brittany Woolsey, OC Weekly, 4/29/19

Stepping into a festival like this one, where you can bring your children to play in the sand, and watch your favorite artists from 20 years ago perform on stage, while their children look on as well, adds a level of sentimentality that doesn’t exist in many places. Back to the Beach is everything you could have wished for in the ‘90s, come to life in the world of today. Fans of all ages got to turn their ska-punk dreams into a reality, in the very place that allowed the genre to flourish. – Sari Cohen, AXS.com, 5/1/19

Back to the Beach not only brought out the ‘90s nostalgia but it was able to welcome a family friendly environment for all ages to enjoy. – Anthony Carrera, The Hornet (Fullerton College), 4/29/19
