Origins of Splash House

Founded in 2013 by siblings Tyler and Kelly McLean, Splash House emerged from the locals’ desire to bring something unique to Palm Springs. Initially inspired by the city’s longstanding tradition of pool parties, the first festival took shape when Tyler was just a senior at UCLA.

The turning point came when Goldenvoice, the powerhouse behind renowned festivals like Coachella and Stagecoach, partnered with the McLeans. This alliance allowed Splash House to grow and attract bigger names, transitioning from a local gathering into a significant player on the international festival scene.

The Festival’s Evolution

The festival has evolved considerably over the years. Starting as a modest summer event, it has grown into a multi-weekend experience that features not only great music but also a celebration of social connections and vibrant culture. Each edition features standout performances and memorable moments, contributing to the festival’s reputation for high energy and fun.

Splash House is more than just a music festival; it’s a gathering of like-minded individuals who share a passion for electronic music and the joy of summer in Palm Springs. With each year bringing larger crowds and even more excitement, this festival stands as a testament to the thriving EDM scene.
