The festival's inaugural event was held in 2019, though its follow-up has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Wonderfront co-founder and CEO Paul Thornton said, "Our goal with this 2022 lineup was to still maintain a focus on emerging artists and artists with new music coming out this year, but to also take a significant step forward with bigger headline talent."
The Phase I lineup can be viewed at https://wonderfrontfestival.com. More than 80 acts are expected to be featured across seven stages stretching from the Embarcadero Park to Broadway Pier.
"Downtown is thrilled to see the return of the Wonderfront festival and the cultural vibrancy it brings to our city," said Betsy Brennan, president and CEO of the Downtown San Diego Partnership.
"It's hard to think of a more quintessential San Diego event than this combination of music and arts at the intersection of our urban neighborhoods and the San Diego Bay. We can't wait to welcome everyone to get outside and enjoy being together again."
