Widespread Panic and Cloud 9 Adventures have announced the details for Panic En La Playa Trece, the thirteenth edition of their beloved all-inclusive concert vacation. After taking a pause in 2025 as Panic guitarist Jimmy Herring underwent treatment for tonsil cancer, the Athens, GA rockers will once again hit the Playa at the Hard Rock Riviera Maya in Riviera Maya, Mexico from January 20th–24th, 2026 [ticketing information].
In addition to four nights of live music by Widespread Panic, Panic En La Playa Trece will feature afternoon and late-night shows by Circles Around The Sun, Eggy, Sierra Hull, Karina Rykman, and the Playa Allstars—a supergroup curated specially for the event which includes Eric Krasno, Ivan Neville, Jennifer Hartswick, Chali 2na, Tony Hall, Cochemea Gastelum, and Raymond Weber.
Guests can expect first-rate production, unmatched acoustics, and a spacious dance floor during this intimate concert vacation. With specialty chef-curated food stalls, tequila bars, and wait service throughout the crowd, fans can enjoy the show without ever having to lose their prime dancing spot.
Beyond the music, attendees will have access to one-of-a-kind experiences. Daytime programming includes morning yoga, artist-hosted poolside games, creative theme nights, and more to be announced. This intimate event has cultivated a close-knit community of loyal returning guests, first-time attendees, artists, and hotel and event staff alike, making it no surprise that past editions have quickly sold out.
Panic en la Playa Trece will take place at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya, located between Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Guests can choose from a wide array of room categories including premium suites that overlook the main stage, rooms with semi-private swim-out pools, or private sky terraces for sunbathing and late-night get-togethers. Returning guests can look forward to the same fan-friendly venue layout with updated resort offerings, including an array of new restaurant concepts as well as guest room refreshes.
Positive Legacy will once again be on hand in 2026 to direct charitable initiatives benefiting local humanitarian and environmental efforts. Panic en la Playa is presented by Cloud 9 Adventures (Jam Cruise, Strings & Sol, etc.), the premier provider of international concert vacations at all-inclusive resorts and on luxurious cruise ships since 2003.
Ticket package pre-sale for returning Panic En La Playa guests begins on Tuesday, May 20th, with public on-sale due to begin on Wednesday, May 21st at 1:00 p.m. ET. Find ticketing details and more information here.
