REDONDO BEACH, CA — Get ready for a punk fan's paradise. BeachLife Festival announced its fourth stage with artists curated by Pennywise frontman Jim Lindberg.

The fourth performance area "the SpeakEasy" stage is presented by Jack Daniels and features punk acts and more personal performances.

"Picture an old-west style saloon with stripped-down acoustic sets from a hand-picked selection of celebrated rockers, surfers, and skaters," festival organizers said. "With performances by members of Face to Face, Strung Out and Authority Zero, it’s punk enough to satiate even the most hardcore fans at the event. And with a setting as up-close-and-personal as this, it’s like seeing these wild musicians play in your living room."

The fourth stage is expected to have a different vibe from other stages at the festival.

"The Speakeasy is going to be the ‘outwest badlands’ section of the Festival where fans can hang out with a bunch of salty punk rockers and legendary surfers and skaters, like Tom Curren and Steve Caballero, playing acoustic sets and telling stories," organizers said.
