Are you ready for the 19th annual Desert Smash?

On Tuesday, March 7, La Quinta Resort & Club will host the charity tennis event of the season, the perfect lead-up to the 2023 BNP Paribas Open at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Desert Smash is partnering with Playing For Change Foundation, which looks to support communities around the world through music.

Speaking of music, Grammy award-winning artist P!nk will be making her Desert debut along with a roster of beloved musicians including James Marsden, Natasha Bedingfield, Lance Bass, and Colton Underwood.

Not only will the music rock the desert, but the tennis is going to be smashing. (Get it?)

Moving past the pun, let’s talk about this year's killer pro roster, including current world No. 4 Casper Ruud, two-time Grand Slam champion Victoria Azarenka, Wilson ambassador Grigor Dimitrov, rising star Marta Kostyuk, Australian Open semifinalist Donna Vekic, and American favorite Frances Tiafoe.

Ticket upgrades range anywhere from opportunities to participate and play in Desert Smash to invitations to an evening after party to VIP on-court seating where you can practically smell the sweat.

All of that culminates with a super-exclusive evening after party, the “Desert Smash Bash”, hosted at ZENYARA, the private estate of billionaire philanthropist and friend of the event, Michael Scott.
