Dead & Company Ready To Play In The Sand

Dead & Company is the latest band to host its own Caribbean concert vacation. “Playing in the Sand” promises three nights of performances from the group in Riviera Maya, Mexico.

Naturally, the concerts will take place on an intimate, white sandy beach.

Scheduled Feb. 15-18, the getaway includes premium hotel accommodations, all-inclusive food and drink, shuttle service to and from Cancun International Airport, an official Dead & Company Riviera Maya gift bag, and 24-hour concierge service.

Accommodations are available at host property The Barceló Maya, as well as The Hard Rock Hotel, Banyan Tree Mayakoba, Dreams Tulum and Rosewood Mayakoba.

You’re pretty much guaranteed a good time, thanks to on-site activities that include yoga, tequila tasting, bowling and surfing. Event organizers have secured the best rates possible for off-site adventures such as ATV tours, zip lines, snorkeling, a day trip to Tulum, and tours of Chichen Itza.

Fans can access a presale that starts Aug. 1 at 1 p.m. EDT via a link on the band’s and individual members’ email newsletters and social media channels. Tickets go on sale to the public on Aug. 3 at 1 p.m. EDT.

A payment plan is available, starting with just $750 down. Visit PlayingInTheSand.com for more information.
