Closer To The Sun 2026 January 10-14 2026 Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya Puerto Aventuras Mexico Merchandise Artwork Unisex T-Shirt

The Closer To The Sun 2026 event represents the 11th annual installment of Slightly Stoopid’s premier all-inclusive destination music festival, scheduled for January 10-14, 2026, at the spectacular Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya in Puerto Aventuras, Mexico, nestled between the legendary beach destinations of Playa del Carmen and Tulum along the breathtaking Caribbean coast. This trail-blazing concert vacation, hosted by San Diego’s legendary reggae-rock fusion pioneers Slightly Stoopid—the Ocean Beach band formed in 1994 by childhood friends Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald and famously signed to Bradley Nowell of Sublime’s Skunk Records while still in high school—has become the ultimate celebration of California’s vibrant reggae-rock movement. The 2026 lineup features an extraordinary collection of genre-defining artists including Dirty Heads, Rebelution, Pepper, The Elovaters, DENM, HIRIE, and Little Stranger, alongside a highly anticipated “Traffic Jam” performance by reggae royalty Damian “Jr Gong” Marley and Stephen Marley, sons of the legendary Bob Marley, performing their celebrated collaborative track that showcases the continuing evolution of reggae music’s most influential family. The four-night, all-inclusive experience delivers far more than traditional concerts, offering festival-goers unlimited food, drinks, cocktails, room service, and access to multiple stages including poolside sets, artist-led activities such as morning yoga sessions, hands-on creative workshops, the annual basketball invitational, and adventurous cultural excursions that connect attendees with the local Puerto Aventuras community. Slightly Stoopid’s musical legacy—described as a fusion of folk, rock, reggae, blues, hip-hop, funk, metal, and punk—has produced 13 albums over their 30-year career, with their 2005 breakthrough record “Closer to the Sun” (featuring collaborations with Barrington Levy and Scientist) debuting on the Billboard Top 200 and inspiring the festival’s name. The Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya venue provides the perfect tropical backdrop with its updated beachfront amenities, multiple pools with swim-up bars, oceanside lagoons, sky terraces, and a centrally located Main Stage Concert Courtyard, creating an intimate setting where artists and fans can interact through themed nights and unique experiences that distinguish this event from conventional music festivals. This unisex t-shirt merchandise commemorates an event that has consistently sold out year after year, representing not just a concert series but a complete cultural experience that embodies the laid-back, sun-soaked spirit of Southern California’s reggae movement while celebrating the diverse musical traditions that Slightly Stoopid has championed throughout their career as pioneers who have paved the way for countless reggae-rock, hip-hop, and roots-influenced bands.
