The event, called Beach Vibes, is set to take place at the Barceló Maya Jan. 26-28. The resort has five unique properties and the concert itself will be held at Playa Azul on the Yucatan Peninsula. The venue plays up the connection to the Yucatan, with various Mayan-themes characterizing the different properties.

There will be all kinds of stuff to do in-between performances, from snorkeling and deep sea fishing to zip lines and ATV tours. Underground caverns, a vibrant jungle and Mayan ruins scattered along the famous Riviera Maya are all open for exploration as well.

Beach Vibes’ website lists CID presents as a sponsor of the festival, which means there is an experienced promoter helping LCD Soundsystem make the festival a success.

Widespread Panic also recently announced the return of its “Panic En La Playa” festival in late February and March, which will take place at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya in the Yucatan. Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya will be holding its “One Big Holiday at the same location earlier in February.

All-inclusive packages for Beach Vibes come with different pricetags, depending on how many perks you want, and which property you pick. Packages are available for one to six people, starting at $1,349 per person.

The presale opens July 8 and the public onsale starts July 11. Check out BeachVibes.net for all the details related to this getaway.
