With this past weekend, San Diego’s FNGRS CRSSD has now hosted ten fully-fledged editions of its now always-sold-out CRSSD Festival. Make no mistake, selling out a festival is no small feat and if 6 years ago you had asked us whether it would be possible in a city like San Diego and with the types of names the festival hosts, we would have been very skeptical.

Yet, the team behind CRSSD has managed to build a brand so strong that it would now be a surprise if any of its imminent future edition didn’t sell out before doors open. That is not to say that it may not happen, but it’s simply a testament to the following the festival has built over the last 5 years and 10 separate editions.
