This past weekend, San Diego's iconic Waterfront Park was taken over for the inaugural Bleached Festival, a two-day event that provided a uniquely Southern Californian summer experience to festival season. Many FLOOD faves took the stage—including Caroline Polachek, Remi Wolf, Blondshell, Yves Tumor, and Ethel Cain—as fans took in the scenic bay views, ocean breezes, and the sights of neighboring downtown San Diego.
Photographers Rachael Polack and Nicolita Bradley were there throughout the festivities to capture intimate backstage portraits for FLOOD with several of the fest’s brightest artists. Check out their shots below, and listen to the pre-fest playlist Blondshell compiled for us here.
