Hootiefest: The Big Splash Hits The Beach Again In January

Daytime pool party performance at the inaugural HootieFest: The Big Splash in 2022

Hootie & the Blowfish is heading to the beach once again this January with the return of their destination concert vacation, HootieFest: The Big Splash.

Hosted Jan. 25-28, 2023 at Moon Palace Cancún, the four-day celebration will feature three headlining performances by the band, as well as appearances by Gin Blossoms, Collective Soul, Everclear and Edwin McCain. Additional artists, as well as pool party performances and off-site adventures, will be announced in the coming months.

“Enjoying music together on the beach in Mexico was a great way to kick off 2022,” notes front man Darius Rucker. “I’m not sure who had more fun–us or the fans! We love that this event brought together some of our best friends in concert, too, so we knew we had to make this a new annual tradition.”

HootieFest packages go on sale to the public on Aug. 23. A special 24-hour pre-sale for HootieFest Alumni will begin Aug. 22. Package options and details are available at hootiefest.com.
