Get ready for ROCK THE TIDES, a brand-new destination festival coming to the stunning beaches of Riviera Maya, Mexico on November 7, 8, & 9! MÖTLEY CRÜE, DEF LEPPARD, and Festication are stoked to bring this epic party to life. The three-day bash will be held at luxurious, all-inclusive 5-star beachfront resorts, because who doesn’t love a good beach vacation with some face-melting rock music?
The lineup is a real treat, with DEF LEPPARD and MÖTLEY CRÜE headlining alongside BRET MICHAELS, EXTREME, THE STRUTS, BUCKCHERRY, DOROTHY, LIVING COLOUR, MOON WALKER, and VELVET DAYDREAM. You can expect a weekend of non-stop rock ‘n’ roll under the sun, from BRET MICHAELS’ party-starting anthems to EXTREME’s virtuosic funk-metal, and from THE STRUTS’ British swagger to BUCKCHERRY’s high-octane sleaze-rock. And let’s not forget LIVING COLOUR, known for their explosive performances and hits like “Cult of Personality” – they’ve even won a Grammy, you know! MOON WALKER brings the gritty, futuristic rock, while VELVET DAYDREAM adds some dreamy psych textures to the mix.
MÖTLEY CRÜE is still going strong 44 years into their career, and their iconic live shows are not to be missed. With a legacy that’s been solidified over two consecutive years of touring stadiums around the world, they’re still bringing the house down with their electrifying performances. “Mexico has always been one of the most electric places we’ve played – the energy is just unreal,” MÖTLEY CRÜE tells Rolling Stone. “Some of our most unforgettable shows have happened there, and we know this one will be no different.”
DEF LEPPARD, on the other hand, is one of the most important forces in rock music, with spectacular live shows and a treasure trove of hits that’ll get you singing along. Their fans will be treated to an intimate and immersive concert experience, just steps from Mexico’s white-sand beaches and turquoise coastline.
Rock The Tides is the next evolution of Festication, the destination festival series from Disco Presents and Feyline. Following the success of Tool Live in the Sand, Festication is back with an even bigger and better party. “This experience goes way beyond the show – it’s a weekend in paradise, a dream vacation with intimate performances from two legendary bands,” says Donnie Estopinal, Disco Presents. “We’re pushing the boundaries of what a live event can be and this is one fans will never forget.”
Guests can choose to stay at either the Barceló Riviera Maya (Adults Only) or Barceló Maya Grand, both offering luxurious accommodations and all-inclusive packages that include resort rooms, unlimited food and drinks, access to all performances, and transportation to and from the airport. And if you’re feeling adventurous, there are off-site excursions and curated experiences available, from catamaran sails to cenote swims.
Festication is all about redefining the destination festival concept, blending one-of-a-kind performances with an immersive resort experience. Think curated activities, excursions, and world-class accommodations – and, of course, rock music at its finest. “One of the most important lessons my dad, Barry Fey, ever taught me was that it’s all about the fans,” says Tyler Fey, Feyline. “That three-day getaway with your favorite artist is something truly special—and seeing fans leave the weekend saying it was the best time of their lives, that’s what matters most to us.”
With expansive pools, glistening beaches, and nightly entertainment, attendees will be treated to a weekend of relaxation and rock music. And don’t worry about the details – Rock The Tides offers convenient checkout options, including a Purchase in Full option, Split with Friends, and Payment Plans with deposits as low as 10%. The full schedule and daily activities will be announced soon, so be sure to sign up for access to the exclusive presale on April 23 at 10 AM PT at rockthetides.com.
The Barceló Maya Grande and Barceló Riviera Maya (Adults Only) resorts are both 5-star paradises with world-class dining, sparkling pools, and unforgettable Caribbean charm. And, of course, all guests will enjoy all-inclusive food & drinks!
