Longtime attendees of the California Roots Music and Arts Festival have been counting down the days until their return to California’s Monterey County Fairgrounds to see friends, family, and their favorite artists take the stage over the weekend of May 23-25, 2025. Today, Good Vibez Presents—the longtime festival organizers of the beloved festival—have given fans even more to be hyped about: the first installment of the 2025 Cali Roots lineup.
The ever-reinventive R&B renaissance man T-Pain will make his Cali Roots debut, and Cali Roots favorites like Rebelution, Iration, SOJA, and Steel Pulse should be a highlight for newcomers and lifers alike. Additionally, Common Kings, Collie Buddz, The Hip Abduction, Mike Love, Bumpin Uglies, Surfer Girl, Landon McNamara, Dubbest, and more were all included in the first artist announcement for this year’s California Roots Music and Arts Festival.
“This year’s lineup is packed with so much talent and good vibes, it’s going to be an unforgettable experience,” says Dan Sheehan, festival producer and co-host of Cali Roots Radio on SiriusXM’s The Spectrum. “It’s been incredible to witness the exponential growth of artists like Common Kings, who have truly come into their own right here on our stages. Cultivating and supporting artists has always been a core focus of Cali Roots, and we’re proud to continue creating a space where both emerging and established artists can thrive. We can’t wait for fans to experience what’s in store this year.”
Ticket sales will begin tomorrow, Wednesday, October 23rd, for those with artist pre-sale codes. The Cali Roots 2025 general on-sale begins Friday, October 25th, at 10 am Pacific. All tickets can be purchased right here. Per usual, Cali Roots is an all-ages-welcome event, and kids 10 and under can attend for free with parents or guardians.
