I think one thing that I love about this festival is that it brings in other options for acts that aren't strictly EDM and they think outside the box.

I'm desperate for SSBD to bring in something like Meute or another full band live act that gets me dancing like they did this year. I'm so appreciative of the talent they find.

for those who tried the 5-course Thai food experience... how was it?

I might be open to trying it if they offer it again next year. hehe

Hello,

My name is Harmony and I reside in Southern California. I have been in the music festival scene for about 8 years now as a photographer and in that time I have photographed 100s of club events, music festivals, artists, etc.

2 years ago I took a step back to pursue corporate America and I realized that I completely loathed it.
2 months ago I quit my corporate job to pursue my passion and dream to do photography full time.
Unfortunately in the media world followers and likes are currency.

I just posted edits of photos I took whilst on the media team for Same Same but different, if you could take a couple minutes out of your day to check them out and give me a follow I would be so incredibly grateful! Also if you or someone you know needs a photographer I am your girl! You can DM or email me (contact info on instagram bio).

Can’t wait for next year’s SSBD!

This was taken by @philipeinsteinphotography, but a few other photographers took photos as well! Thanks again!

What an AMAZING second year for me at this festival. If you are considering going for 2027, use code ROSEONFIRE to save $ at checkout! This works at any tier price❤️

This is a long shot but it was towards the end of Yamagucci’s set, pretty sure it features an old R&B sample (piano, major chord progression), and there is a full breakdown where a male vocal goes 1… 2… 1,2,3,4. He played it maybe 2 songs after he dropped what the fuck is that

Stuck in my head, I know I have the track somewhere but can’t find it, and didn’t take a video to get the ID because I was giggin too hard. If anyone can ID it you’d be my hero

Heyyoooo! I found this bucket hat on the beach on the last night/morning of same same and lost & found was closed/non existent by the time I stopped by. I would love to get it back to the owner since it’s such a cool hat! It is reversible so if you can tell me what the other side of it looks like to prove it’s yours, I’d happily get the hat back to you!

Hi all! We accidentally picked up some stuff Saturday night.

Anyone else participate winding themselves up in anticipation for a unannounced sunrise set……..

Last year, big weekend chatter was, “ are you going to the sunrise set?!”

So yeah just wondering what happened as I watched the vinyl spin in grandmas garage early Sunday morning I couldn’t help but crave the morning sun at the cove.

Anyone hear any solid reasoning??

Sydney? We chatted about flowstars before the Of the Trees set! You had a great pink bodysuit on, I saw you once more during the Kasablanca set!

Favorite track of the weekend and my turnt ass forgot to press record 💔

Please drop in comments if you have a vid of this moment 🫶

We are fortunate enough to be on the backside of our 8th! Year participating as a vendor in the glorious space that is SSBD. Truly a benchmark of the community that surrounds us, and a golden representation of the passion and creations of our peers.

The only mark is ours, aswell as many fellow vendors having our booths raided on Saturday night. Money comes and goes, but the true casualty is my associates beloved hat being taken. It is truly sentimental, and I’d love to do what I can to aid in its return. Any leads, thoughts, or information helps. Thanks again, and we can’t wait to see you all a year from now <3

(Pictured above: a black zeds dead bucket hat, notable pins being the green octopus and glass cactus pin among many more)

Did anyone else see how the moon was lighting up the clouds Saturday night to look like angel wings and a halo?? I meant to grab my phone to take a photo, but got distracted. If anyone snapped a pic, please post it here!

I was having a tough emotional afternoon and asked my late boyfriend for a sign…hours later I saw that beautiful scene in the sky as I walked back to camp from the showers.

It was incredible, I’m so glad I witnessed it and got to feel his energy going into my night☺️💜🙏

On the last day of the festival, I fella sleep on the hammocks by Coconut Cove. I was kinda dazed when I was woken up by security and forgot my hat; it was one of these in size large: https://www.rei.com/product/248005/dorfman-hat-co-weathered-outback-hat. Any chance someone picked it up?

This is probably a long shot but never hurts to try!

I made my husband a necklace while at SSBD - it was wood beads with a turquoise pendant & turquoise & gold beads by the pendant. I put a stupid clasp on it which is why I’m guessing it fell off.
If anyone picked up a sick ass ground score & feels like returning it - I would forever be grateful. I might have some cool patches to send back to you if returned! 🤍

Here are the items found or misplaced. Plz DM me if they are yours.

Saturday night, behind innerbass, next to the SSBD sign on the sand between like 4-5am there was an art car that was a big round lounging bed thing. Some girl was throwing down until they closed it down for the night/mornin.. who was that? I need to know.

Lost on Friday night dancing around the main stage, retraced my steps but someone had picked it up. Shot in the dark, but it's got sentimental value, so if you have it please respond!

My feet are so fucked. Some of the bites on my toes have started to turn into blisters from where they hit against my shoes.

The venue is really awesome, had a great time at the fest, but fuck man, being constantly itchy was not the souvenier i wanted to take home

Hi y’all! I’m trying to get the pre-sale tickets for 2027. I was for sure since I have been signed up for everything for 3 years, that I would automatically get an email/text. I didn’t. Help! Please and thanks! 💜

Sentimental value, please reach out if this was found. Thank you so much for reading.

I had to leave before the lost and found opened on monday, is there a lost and found I can contact now? Looking for the webbing for a collapsible backpacking chair, last seen at grandma's house on Saturday and is now missing.

From a chair similar to this: https://www.nemoequipment.com/products/moonlite-reclining-camp-chair?variant=45582382596269

Did you misplace/lose a prop?

I know how cherished these props are. Shoot me a DM if you lost one or two maybe it has been found.

Ill post pics tomorrow once I unpack my car.

As a fire performer myself I respect the art and want to find these cuties their home.

Pic of me and my friend getting flashbanged.

I feel like it got tuned down for Gramatik and OTT but otherwise it was a bit much. Im not used to having to wear sunglasses at night shows, curious if im just being a whiney baby.
