Desert Daze Adds Uncle Acid, Beak>, Jarvis Cocker, and More to 2018 Lineup

Southern California's beloved psychedelic jaunt Desert Daze announced its return last month, with a new lakeside location and a starting lineup that includes Tame Impala, Warpaint, Mercury Rev, and a lot more.

Today, Noisey is pleased to present the second phase of Desert Daze's 2018 rollout, with a chunk of rising talent and old school heroes to sweeten the deal. New additions include Earth performing 2008's breakthrough The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull, an exclusive North American performance by Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats, Portishead side project Beak>, Jarvis Cocker's mysterious new solo project JARV IS…, HINDS, Boogarins, and a lot more. Damien Echols of the West Memphis Three has also been tapped for the fest's alternative programming lineup to present High Magick: A Guide to the Spiritual Practices That Saved My Life on Death Row. All that, plus great films, talks, art installations and projections, the return of the Mystic Bazaar, and newly added late night programming.
