Blackberry Smoke To Launch High Tide Getaway Festival In Mexico Ft. Little Feat, JJ Grey & Mofro, 49 Winchester

Blackberry Smoke will bring fans to Mexico this December for the band’s inaugural High Tide Getaway destination festival. Set for December 6th–10th, 2025, the all-inclusive event at the Dreams Sapphire Resort & Spa in Riviera Cancún will include three full Blackberry Smoke shows.

High Tide Getaway will host additional performances by Little Feat, JJ Grey & Mofro, 49 Winchester, The Band of Heathens, Elizabeth Cook, and special guests The Black Bettys. Blackberry Smoke’s Charlie Starr will also perform a poolside bluegrass jam with The Steed Brothers, and comedian Dusty Slay will do a stand-up set.

“After years of joining friends of ours at their destination events, we’re thrilled to announce that we have created our own,” Starr said of the event. “Our goal is to offer experiences you won’t find anywhere else. More than anything, we want to slow down, relax on a beautiful beach, and spend quality time with all of you. We also have some fantastic surprises in store!”

Artists will perform on the beachfront main stage, the poolside gazebo, and the open-air palapa for late-night sets. In addition to days and nights of music, High Tide Getaway will offer attendees the chance to relax with activities and workshops, poolside games and contests, daily yoga, theme nights, and opportunities to give back to the local community through charity work. Blackberry Smoke will host a Welcome Party Happy Hour on the first day of the festival, while Charlie Starr’s wife Christine Butler will host a Wellness Hour with breathwork, movement, and meditation. The band will announce more artist-led experiences as the festival approaches. Fans can also book off-site excursions to explore the region from Cancún to Tulum.

All-inclusive packages for the Blackberry Smoke High Tide Getaway presented by Cloud 9 Adventures will be available via pre-sale beginning Wednesday, April 23rd. Those who book their rooms during the pre-sale will receive a complimentary signed poster from the band. Remaining rooms will go on sale to the public starting Thursday, April 24th at 1 p.m. ET on the High Tide Getaway website.
