The event, which is co-curated by Vedder, also included turns from Haim, Father John Misty, Japanese Breakfast, The War on Drugs, The Chicks, Charley Crockett, Goose, The Pretenders, Suki Waterhouse, Thee Sacred Souls and many more throughout the three-day weekend.
Though the weather was gloomy on Friday and fans were lightly sprinkled on at the festival grounds on Saturday, the sun poked out on Sunday for a beautiful, and a little chilly, end to the 2023 installment of Ohana.

As with every year, Vedder, who pops out during various sets throughout the event, joined a few acts on stage on Friday and Saturday, but was noticeably absent on Sunday. However, there were other surprises sprinkled throughout the fest including rocker Sammy Hagar showing up to sing with The Killers on Friday and tennis star John McEnroe coming out with the Pretenders on Sunday to jam out on guitar to “Precious.”
Ohana is a unique festival, mostly because of its location, situated at Doheny State Beach, just steps from the sand and Pacific Ocean. The location limits the size of the crowd to about 15,000 per day, but Vedder’s festival partners at Live Nation said there are no plans of relocating the event though it has grown significantly in popularity since it began in 2016.
“It just has this vibe and this spirit,” Rich Best, president of booking at Live Nation California, said during an interview earlier this year. “Obviously, it has grown and we’ve been asked many times about ‘Have you ever thought of expanding or changing sites?’ And, honestly, it’s just a hard ‘No.’ I don’t think Ohana would be Ohana if it was not right there.”
