The Palm Springs Aerial Tramway was closed Friday, Aug. 8 due to unexpected technical issues with its electronic system, with no immediate word on when it will reopen.
Tramway officials emailed a press release at 12:57 p.m. that said maintenance teams were actively working to resolve the issue and restore service "as quickly and safely as possible," but a reopening timeline was still unknown as of 5 p.m. Friday.
Closure affects Splash House Palm Springs
The closure is particularly pertinent to the few lucky Splash House eventgoers who were chosen to attend an intimate DJ set by BLOND:ISH aboard the tram Friday night as part of the poolside music festival.
Sara Hartzell of Infamous, the public relations company hired by the festival, told The Desert Sun that the set "won't be happening anymore." No other information was provided, and as of 5:15 p.m., the Monday, Aug. 4 Instagram post announcing the special set had not been deleted.
