The scenic coastal town of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, is gearing up to host its very first multi-day country music event, the Country Splash festival. Scheduled for Labor Day weekend, from September 4th to 6th, this new festival promises to deliver a unique blend of live country music performances and high-end travel experiences. Unlike previous country music gatherings in Mexico, Country Splash aims to create a boutique atmosphere, allowing fans to enjoy their favorite artists in an intimate setting, just moments from the Pacific Ocean.
The festival’s initial lineup, unveiled recently, features a mix of established stars and rising talents in the country music scene. Headlining the event will be Riley Green, known for his authentic country sound, Jon Pardi, celebrated for his traditional country style, and emerging artist Tucker Wetmore. Adding a unique cross-genre appeal, global DJ and producer Diplo is also slated as a headliner, promising an eclectic mix for attendees. The roster also includes up-and-coming country artists such as Dasha, Cameron Whitcomb, Zach John King, and Blake Whiten, ensuring a diverse musical offering. Additionally, popular duo Locash, along with Lauren Watkins and Jacob Hackworth, will perform, with DJ sets by Vavo and Dee Jay Silver to keep the energy high. Organizers have hinted that more artists will be announced in the lead-up to the event.
Country Splash is designed around the concept of "curated luxury travel," with the entire event taking place on the picturesque grounds of the Paradisus Los Cabos resort. This focus on luxury aims to provide festival-goers with not only exceptional musical performances but also access to premium amenities, fine dining, and various outdoor activities that Cabo San Lucas is renowned for. According to Robert Fried, a co-founder of the festival, the guest experience is paramount, emphasizing close interactions with artists and the enjoyment of the resort's offerings. Pre-sale tickets for hotel and villa packages became available on April 14th, followed by general ticket sales on April 15th, offering fans the chance to secure their spot at this highly anticipated event.
In other news, headliner Riley Green has been active on the music scene, having released his album 'Don’t Mind If I Do' in 2024, with a deluxe version following last year. He also recently collaborated with Carly Pearce on the evocative track 'If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay.' This blend of new music from featured artists and the promise of a luxurious festival experience sets Country Splash apart as a significant addition to the country music calendar.
The Country Splash festival distinguishes itself by offering an exclusive experience that merges the excitement of a music festival with the indulgence of a luxury vacation. Attendees can anticipate a blend of dynamic performances, relaxing resort amenities, and the natural beauty of Cabo San Lucas. With a diverse lineup and a focus on intimate fan engagement, the festival aims to create lasting memories for all who attend.
