The Palm Tree Music Festival returned to Montecito for its second year over the weekend. 

Founded in 2021 by DJ Kygo and his manager Myles Shear, the festival now hits multiple major destinations, including Napa, Aspen, the Hamptons and West Palm Beach. 

The event took place Saturday and Sunday at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club under beautiful weather. Attendees enjoyed food trucks, drinks, shopping and incredible music over the two-day festival. 

The lineup featured big names like The All-American Rejects, The Chainsmokers, Zedd, Loud Luxury, Kygo, and T-Pain.

Bringing a wave of nostalgia, The All-American Rejects performed crowd favorites like “Gives You Hell,” “Dirty Little Secret,” and “Move Along.”

The Chainsmokers kept the energy high with tracks like “Closer” and “Something Just Like This” and “Don’t Let Me Down.”

Kygo played Sunday, his last show of 2026 with over an hour-long set packed with anthems like “It Ain’t Me,” “Firestone,” “Higher Love,” and “Born To Be Yours,” even bringing out special guest Justin Jesso to perform “Stargazing.”

Kygo also paid a meaningful tribute to legendary Avicii with “Levels.” Avicii, the professional name for Swedish DJ and record producer Tim Bergling, died in 2018.

T-Pain wrapped the night up with bangers like “Cyclone,” “Up Down (Do This All Day),” “Kiss Kiss” and “Low.” 

It was a spectacular weekend that left music fans enthusiastic to see what next year’s festival lineup will be.
