It’s been a big year for Gov’t Mule, with the jam act recently releasing their tenth studio album, Revolution Come…Revolution Go, earlier this month. Today, more good news for fans arrived with the announcement of the ninth installation of the band’s tropical destination festival, Island Exodus. Island Exodus 9 is returning to Runaway Bay, Jamaica next January, with the event taking over Jewel Paradise Cove from January 13th through 17th at the start of the new year. Gov’t Mule will play three two-set shows across the duration of Island Exodus. The festival will also see Warren Haynes performing a solo set one of the nights, JJ Grey & Mofro performing three sets, and Audley Freed and Ron Holloway sitting in throughout as special guests.
