The Do-Over Tokyo 2024

Whatever the weather, The Do-Over summer daytime party series always brings out a bit of California sunshine in everyone. Established in 2005 in Los Angeles, The Do-Over has been supplying the best daytime party options for nearly 20 years. The magical tropical daytime get-down has built a following like no other, all thanks to the deep, consistent vibe and "hang loose" attitude, curated by founders Chris Haycock, Jamie Strong and Aloe Blacc. Over the years, The Do-Over has spread its fun-loving, funky sounds across the world with a philosophy of keeping all guest DJs a mystery, encouraging attendees to leave all hype and expectations at home. Well-known for its offerings of sangria, buckets of beer and an all-day BBQ, The Do-Over is a stone-cold winner to all who’ve experienced it — the only sensible conclusion to a proper weekend of partying.
