Phish are going back to Mexico! The return of Phish: Riviera Maya, a 4-night all-inclusive concert vacation, will take place on February 21-23, 2019. The band will perform three nights on the beach in one of the world’s most beautiful spots – Mexico’s Caribbean coastline. The concerts will take place at Barceló Maya, which sits on one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, with over a mile of fine white sand and crystal clear water.
Fans can stay at the host resort or at one of the other 5 selected hotel-resorts (including 1 additional property for this year). For those not staying at the Barceló Maya Resort, shuttle service will be provided. A variety of off-site adventures will also be available.
Packages for Phish: Riviera Maya will go on sale this Friday, September 14 at 1PM ET. For complete details, including payment plans, visit www.phishrivieramaya.com .
Hmmmm...would love to make it happen.
Don't drink the water at this event, either.
Wife said "no, you can't afford to go." As if she would have let me go back when I was making real money.
Gonna take some finesse, but I *think* I can sell my wife on this. Gonna start working her tonight, fingers crossed.

to rage my couch
Just bought flights last week to visit colleges in California with my daughter this same weekend.
Not upset in the least. The only thing that would make it worse was if it also happened to be my Birthday weekend.
Mother. Fucker. :x

Too bad you're talking about your daughter least likely to drop out and go on Phish Tour anyway. If it were Avry changing flights to Mexico would have just saved a step for everyone!
I will be watching the streams from Costa Rica. Could be worse. Stoked for all that go.

Did that a few years ago, also on my birthday weekend. Started in LA and drove up the coast on the 1 through Big Sur, up through Monterey and ultimately to San Fran. Went out of the way to Big Basin and did a little hiking in the redwoods. Such a great trip with the fam.

Bummer. We are going up to the Nicoya this time (Santa Teresa/Montezuma). Have not been up that way before. Where are you guys going?
Wish I could make it happen again but it's not seeming feasible this time around.
It really was just the best time...
Just saw that Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds grabbed Presidents Day weekend at Rivera Maya. Really? LOL

This is only our 2nd time and we're hitting the Guanacaste area. Renting a house on Playa Grande in Las Baulas National Marine Park.

Nice. I am not familiar with Guanacaste. Sounds awesome. We usually go down the Pacific Coast, stop in Dominical to see our friends and head all the way to the bottom to the Osa where my wife used to live and we still have a little land down there. Have a great time.
For those that have gone before....is one resort better than the others? My only complaint about all inclusive resorts are the quality of food and beverages is lacking....

Yeah, for sure. If you want good food, you are going to have to stay at one of the more expensive resorts. It comes down to whether or not you want the convenience of staying on site and having bad food or taking a shuttle every night which bites but having good food. It's also a lot more money. My friends stayed at the Fairmont and said it was dope, but that's not offered this year I think. If you stay at Barcelo, the Palace is a step up, and you can still use their restaurants if you are in regular Barcelo. Palace is sweet but it is a 20 minute walk to the venue. We stayed in the suck Barcelo but it was the cheapest and it was 5 minute to the venue which was nice. Te food sucks but you only eat once a day. The people that were getting sick were the idiots that were eating hamburgers. I just ate bagels and pasta and bananas and it was fine. We also went one day to Tulum in a car and got some actual food which was great.

Palace all day. Food is better (restaurants exclusive to Palace were really good and buffet style food seemed to be higher quality too) but really nothing beats the piano bar post show. Place is jumping all night and there's a lot of talented MFers out there. Sure, it's a little further walk but you're walking along the ocean so it's not the worst thing in the world.

Pretty much this.
Barcelo is by def the most convenient all around but the food was not awesome.

Yeah, the beach walk is no big deal and the piano bar is awesome and is still cranking as the sun comes up. The only time the walk is bad is if you have to walk back to reg Barcelo after said sun has come up. If you are staying there and only have to do the walk once after the show, it's fine. It's the return trip after raging that got a little old for me.

Ahh yeah, I can see how that would suck. I just had to stumble a couple feet to my bed. Still got lost the first night tho.
Anyone else hearing rumors that this might be the last time they do Mexico?

it would make sense. the novelty has warn off and the 2019 version didn't even sell out right away. time to think of something new.
So that, plus my new job and the fat paychecks that come with, have me leaning towards going. Anyone wanna go in on a room? I snore but I'm cute and I shower daily.
The contract was always for 3 stands there. Would be doubtful if they go back. But that means they'll find somewhere new to go! It's so good, I would go for sure if I didn't have a trip planned already.
Interesting.
I thought most of the resorts were sold out?

Likewise.
I'm hoping for some deep jams on some of those kasvot vaxt materials. Mikes interview on under the scales helped me get pumped up for these shows.
