April 27, 2016

KAABOO Del Mar has announced its music lineup for it's second outing, set to take place this September 16-19 at the historic Del Mar Racetrack & Fairgrounds. Jimmy Buffett & The Coral Reefer Band and Aerosmith, plus chart-topping alt-rockers Fall Out Boy will join already announced Jack Johnson as the 2016 headliners. We are already raffling off 2 three-day Hang Loose passes in conjunction with the release of the comedy lineup, but in celebration of the music release, we will be giving away another pair of Hang Loose passes. Read on for the full lineup and be sure to enter!



KAABOO is a three-day “mix-perience” and the perfect weekend escape for the sophisticated concert-goer looking for a fully immersive experience without the rough qualities of a traditional outdoor event. It combines a diverse mix of music, high quality culinary offerings, the very best craft libations, visually inspiring art exhibitions, comedy, dancing and all of the indulgent amenities you could hope for, together in one place. KAABOO recently received a five year (with a 5 year extension) contract to hold KAABOO at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and Racetrack, ensuring that this San Diego festival will be a fixture in Southern California for many years to come. 

KAABOO has curated the lineup to be a musical journey from legendary classic rockers to some of the latest, most buzz-worthy chart-toppers. Creating a bill that is even more diverse and deep than the inaugural year, KAABOO has established a mix of bands where guests can see their favorites, cross acts off their bucket list and find new favorites all in the same weekend.

After dusk, when the outdoor stages have settled, ENCORE, KAABOO’s late-night dance party open from 10pm-2:30am on Friday and Saturday night, will take over. Encore allows guests the extra time craved to continue the fun and dance the night away! Attendees 18 and over can enter the expanded indoor, air-conditioned venue that will feature world-class bands and DJs, including The Chainsmokers, Steve Aoki, Ludacris, Matoma, RAC and Andrew Luce.

Additionally, making sure there is something for everyone, KAABOO’s extensive lineup also includes a full cast of comedians, which was previously announced to include The Cast of Silicon Valley (with T.J. Miller), Dana Carvey, Jeff Ross, Darrell Hammond and Janeane Garofalo.
