San Bernardino music festivals center around the massive Glen Helen Amphitheater and Regional Park, which hosts some of Southern California's largest music events including Knotfest and various rock and metal festivals. This Inland Empire location offers sprawling festival grounds an hour east of Los Angeles, providing ample space for large-scale productions while maintaining accessibility to the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area and its massive concert-going population.

The location's desert climate and mountain backdrop provide dramatic settings for heavy music and rock festivals that have made Glen Helen a legendary venue for generations of Southern California music fans.
Whether you're attending Knotfest for heavy metal and alternative rock, catching major rock festivals, experiencing the legendary venue that's hosted everything from Ozzfest to California roots music gatherings, or camping at one of SoCal's premier festival grounds, San Bernardino delivers large-scale festival experiences with authentic Southern California desert and mountain beauty.
