Same Same But Different Festival
We’re sad to share that the Remethé Lounge will no longer be appearing at this year’s Same Same But Different Festival. While we had been looking forward to bringing our experience to the event and had an agreement in place, the festival team has made a change in plans.
We want to thank everyone who was excited to see us there — your support means everything. We hope to cross paths with you at another event very soon, and we’ll be announcing our next adventures shortly.
Join the Remethé Lounge at Same Same But Different Festival 2025. SSBD is a vibrant lakeside music and arts festival held at Lake Perris, California, blending live music, immersive art, wellness experiences, and community under the sun and stars. Known for its eclectic lineup and playful, creative atmosphere, SSBD invites you to dance, connect, and celebrate the beautifully weird.
We invite you to step into the strange and splendid world of Bumstead & Co. Curios, a traveling cabinet of oddities, potions, and peculiar delights. This vintage-inspired experience invites you to explore a pop-up curiosity shop filled with elixirs, antique treasures, and interactive encounters designed to enchant and amuse. Part immersive installation, part tea and tonic bar, part theatrical mischief — Bumstead & Co. is your portal to the weird, the whimsical, and the wonderfully unexpected.
Same Same But Different Pre-Party
Get a taste of the magic early at SSBD’s A But County Affair pre-party on August 2 at Wicked West. Join us for a night of live music, dancing, art, and community vibes as we warm up for the main event at Lake Perris. This intimate gathering brings a spark of SSBD’s eclectic energy to the city — come connect, groove, and start the countdown in style.
