UPDATE: the band just announced Playing in the Sand 2019 today!
Dead & Company is showing no signs of slowing down as they head into 2018 with today’s announcement of Playing in the Sand, the band’s all-inclusive concert vacation held at the Barceló Maya Beach resort in Riveria Maya, Mexico.
Playing in the Sand is an all-inclusive concert vacation in one of the most beautiful parts of the world, the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. You’ll experience three Dead & Company concerts on the beach, under the stars, just steps from the Caribbean Sea.
As with all concerts at this resort, you get to just vibe all day at a killer resort, get cleaned up and get ready to rock all night with the band right on the beach. Still blows my mind that this is a thing.
The three nightly concerts take place at the Barceló Maya Beach resort, which sits on a mile-long stretch of white sandy beach with breathtaking landscapes and pools scattered throughout the property. You may reserve a room at the Barceló, or choose to stay at one of our other carefully selected hotels. Each resort features a variety of restaurants, bars and daily activities, all included in your vacation package. Spend your days lounging by the pool and beach, soaking up the sun, or exploring the local culture through exciting off-site adventures. Spend your nights dancing blissfully on the beach with the stars above, the wind in your hair and your toes in the sand.
You’ll have the option of what hotel fits your vibe the best, too.
Guests staying at the Barceló Maya will walk out of their rooms and take a short stroll to the beach to see the show each night. If you are staying at one of our other properties, a shuttle will deliver you to the concert area and bring you back to your resort after the show.
