The Same Same But Different (SSBD) Festival has capped off its 2024 season with record-breaking success, reporting a 17% increase in revenue and a 10% rise in attendance, underscoring its place as a standout event in the festival world. SSBD’s commitment to fostering a vibrant, community-focused experience at Lake Perris, CA has earned it a loyal following, with fans returning each year to enjoy a unique blend of music, wellness, and immersive activities. Amid a challenging festival landscape, SSBD’s growth speaks to its ability to deliver something genuinely distinct—a holistic, transparent, and joyful space where attendees can connect and celebrate in an unforgettable atmosphere.

For 2025, SSBD is introducing “Community Tier” pricing, available until November 15, offering early supporters the best ticket prices. This special pricing supports SSBD’s commitment to making its festival accessible and transparent. To further enhance this approach, SSBD has announced a “no hidden fees” policy, enabling fans to plan without unexpected costs. This move aligns with SSBD’s values, centering on inclusivity, trust, and a strong sense of community, creating an experience where all attendees feel valued and respected.

SSBD’s lineup consistently brings together top-tier indie, jam band, and electronic artists, while also incorporating wellness-focused activities, private island excursions, and a range of creatively themed spaces. Among this year’s highlights was a sunrise set by Mindchatter on Nakey Island, with attendees enjoying a tranquil, immersive experience on the festival’s private island just as the day began. In a whimsical twist, several couples even celebrated weddings at SSBD’s Chapel of But, which was part of a Las Vegas-inspired takeover at the But Stage area, blending fun and commitment in a unique festival atmosphere.

The festival intentionally limits attendance to 7,500 to maintain its close-knit, intimate vibe, which has become a signature part of the SSBD experience. This capping of attendance ensures that every attendee has room to relax and fully engage with the festival’s offerings. With pre-sale tickets already showing strong demand, SSBD’s 2025 edition is poised to bring together a community of music lovers who value connection, creativity, and shared experiences in a beautiful lakeside setting.

Since its inception in 2018 with a small gathering of friends, SSBD has grown into a festival that remains true to its roots, bringing attendees far more than just a lineup. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Lake Perris, SSBD provides a space where creativity, friendship, and wonder blend together, drawing a diverse community each year. For fans and newcomers alike, the 2025 SSBD Festival promises to be another remarkable journey into music, mindfulness, and connection.
