When it comes to upping the ante on TV, Adult Swim is often first to do so with some of the most edgy programming available on TV. The same goes with doing live festivals as the network has done a few editions of mixing the bleeding edge comedy and music festival where other networks seem to be mostly OK with just doing a companion podcast for their hit shows.

The Adult Swim Festival is actually upping the ante on itself as it will take place, for the first time, in San Diego, right outside of the San Diego Convention Center, home to the world famous Comic Con, and be completely free so long as you’re 18+ (we’re assuming no kids are allowed rather than having to buy a ticket for them?). Thurs. Jul. 20th-Sat. Jul. 22nd will see headliners Eric Andre, Flying Lotus, and Sarah Squirm, just to name a few, take over what should be a wildly colorful outdoor genre-bending comedy/music/performance festival/experience. In fact, there will even be a Smiling Friends experience and a”Pop-Tarts Dining Experience” in the mix in addition to many other offbeat delights that have yet to be announced.

Though LA has gotten to enjoy The Adult Swim Festival the past few go arounds, at least all you have to figure out for this 2023 edition is how to get to San Diego that weekend and where you’ll sleep (or, conversely, how you’ll keep the party going for all three days).
