After holding its inaugural beach bash last January, Hootie & the Blowfish have announced rescheduled dates for the return of their destination concert vacation – HootieFest: The Big Splash. Set for April 26-29, 2023 in Moon Palace Cancún, the four day celebration of rock will feature three complete sets by the Grammy Award-winning group as well as two headlining performances and a special set at sunset.

The Goo Goo Dolls and Barenaked Ladies will also hit the beach and the stage, along with Collective Soul, Gin Blossoms, Everclear, Edwin McCain, Lit and Cowboy Mouth, as well as Occasional Milkshake and Voice of Harold, both featuring Mark Bryan of Hootie & the Blowfish. Other details, including pool party performances and off-site adventures are still to come.

The celebration’s continuous commitment to a comprehensive greening program remains in partnership with Moon Palace, which has been designated as a low carbon tourism provider. In addition to a single-use plastic-free concert area, all waste discarded throughout the resort will be sorted during the event and diverted from landfills. These efforts result in more responsible and sustainable event production while directly contributing to the fight against climate change.

HootieFest: The Big Splash will continue to closely monitor relevant recommendations and guidelines from the CDC, the WHO and local authorities in order to prioritize the health and safety of all guests, artists and staff.

Current 2023 HootieFest package holders should receive an email regarding options for the new dates. Revamped ticket packages for the April 2023 event will be available to the public next week, Oct. 13 at 1 p.m. ET. Packages will include all-inclusive resort accommodations, concert access, roundtrip airport transportation and more.
