The lineup for the upcoming inaugural Los Darks Festival on Saturday, March 28, 2026, has been confirmed, with headliners Caifanes and The Growlers joined by Johnny Marr, Twin Tribes, The Adicts, London After Midnight, and Mareux at Santa Ana Stadium in Santa Ana, California.
Los Darks presents a one-day festival format inviting a broad mix of rock, dark-wave, goth and synth-pop acts, spanning emerging and legacy artists across genres. Pre-sale tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 7, with layaway payment options available for attendees via losdarkslive.com.
The setting at Santa Ana Stadium offers a mid-size venue for this curated event, combining local roots and international appeal. Festival promoters say they aim to deliver “a celebration of gothic, dark wave and synth-pop” through live performance, while retaining accessibility via a single-day timeframe.
The Growlers bring a local connection: the band originally formed in Dana Point, Orange County in 2006 and later moved to Costa Mesa, making their appearance at Los Darks a home-region highlight. Their surf-psychedelic style and independent rise in the Southern California music scene set them apart from many festival headliners.
Caifanes, meanwhile, are a foundational force in Latin rock. Formed in Mexico City in 1986, they helped shape the rock en español movement and continue to influence generations of artists with their blend of new-wave, alternative rock and Mexican cultural motifs.
Early ticket buyers should plan for travel and parking logistics as the stadium sits in the heart of Santa Ana’s stadium district. Updates on supporting acts, VIP options, and experience add-ons are expected closer to the event date.
