The inaugural Darker Waves Festival is set to hit Huntington City Beach on Saturday, Nov. 18 and festival promoters just dropped the set times.
With more than 30 acts on the bill there was bound to be some overlap in set times and there are a few instances where fans are going to have to make some tough calls on which band to see or they will have to split their time. Los Angeles punks X and English electronic duo OMD overlap on the Darker and Waves stages, as do The Cardigans and Devo and The Psychedelic Furs and Echo & The Bunnymen. There’s also no way to see The B-52’s and The Human League at the same time and if you choose X or OMD, you’re definitely missing out on T.S.O.L over on the Tiki Stage.

One could make the mad dash and start at She Wants Revenge on the Waves Stage for a pair of songs, head over to check out Crosses on the Tiki Stage for a few tracks, hop back to see Echo & The Bunnymen on the Waves Stage for a couple of songs before getting to the Darker Stage just in time for The Psychedelic Furs encore and to settle in for The B-52’s set.
But that’s a lot of walking on the beach. Difficult decisions will be made.
There are no conflicts in seeing New Order on the Waves Stage at 7:25 p.m. and Tears For Fears will close the event at 8:45 p.m. on the Darker Stage.
The forecast is also calling for some light rain and this event is going off rain or shine so far, opening gates at 10 a.m. and wrapping up at 10 p.m. The festival is sold out, however fans can sign up for the waitlist at darkerwavesfest.com.
