Morrissey and Cardi B. headline the 2018 Tropicália Music and Taco Festival at the Queen Mary Events Park in Long Beach on Saturday, Nov. 3 and Sunday, Nov. 4.

This year’s event boasts a diverse lineup that caters to a range of musical palettes, from 1960s pop with Ronnie Spector and The Ronettes, to the most crowd-surfable alternative music with bands like Surf Curse and Jurassic Shark.
