San Diego's KAABOO Festival To Host 2 Day Comedy, Music & Cultural Festival In The Cayman Islands

May 15, 2018

San Diego's KAABOO Festival, which returns to Del Mar this September 14-16, has announced that it will be replicating the multi-sensory experience in the Cayman Islands in 2019. KAABOO Cayman is set to take place February 15 + 16, 2019, with a jam-packed lineup that boasts many musical acts and comedians including internationally renowned EDM-pop duo The Chainsmokers, British new wave idols Duran Duran, Canadian super-star Bryan Adams, American rock band Counting Crows, funnyman David Spade, and many others.

"We are thrilled to reveal our inaugural lineup for KAABOO Cayman," says KAABOO’s Chief Brand Officer, Jason Felts. "This signature lineup of multi-generational artists was thoughtfully curated to include a little something for everyone. As we extend our brand to paradise, KAABOO Cayman promises a weekend experience designed for the enjoyment of both locals and tourists alike."

Set on the shores of the world famous Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman, KAABOO Cayman will take place amidst a tropical climate where guests will enjoy a backdrop of crystal blue water and white sand beaches for an upscale, island getaway. With direct flights from over a dozen major US cities as well as Toronto and London, KAABOO Cayman mirrors its San Diego counterpart, KAABOO Del Mar, in its plans to deliver an oasis providing the full spectrum of entertainment, aesthetics, and relaxation, imbibing the "Five Senses Under the Sun" brand motto.

The multi-generational lineup includes DJ ZEDD, Jason Derulo, Flo Rida, Blondie, +Live+, Maren Morris, Sean Paul, Shaggy, Salt-N-Pepa ft DJ Spinderella, Blues Traveler, Los Lobos, and many more. Comic canons Wanda Sykes, David Spade, Jenny Slate, Darrell Hammond and more will headline KAABOO’s HUMOR ME stage. A confirmed listing of KAABOO Cayman’s music and comedy lineup is below.

"We are excited to welcome KAABOO to the Cayman Islands for its first international festival for both locals and visitors to enjoy," said Hon. Moses Kirkconnell, Minister of Tourism for the Cayman Islands. "The Cayman Islands’ ease of accessibility to and from the U.S., coupled with our elite infrastructure and plenty of desirable lodging and culinary options, offers KAABOO the ideal destination for a unique Caribbean experience."

In addition to bucket list multi-generational music headliners and comedians, all guests can expect mouth watering culinary delicacies at PALATE, stunning live murals and exhibits in ARTWORK, massages, hot shaves, and spa services in INDULGENCES, and beach vibes and ocean access at the BASK Day/Night Club adjacent to Seven Mile Beach (18+).
