Out of the Blue Festival, the intimate beachfront music getaway curated by Noah Kahan, is officially returning for its third edition in 2026. Set to take place from 8th to 11th January in Riviera Cancun, Mexico, the festival combines sun-soaked relaxation with a hand-picked lineup of indie-folk favourites. After two sold-out years, Out of the Blue continues to grow its reputation as one of the most unique destination festivals on the calendar.

Hosted at an all-inclusive beachfront resort, the event offers fans a rare chance to see artists up close in a laid-back setting, with everything from poolside acoustic sets to full-band beachside performances. The 2025 edition featured a warmly received lineup including Noah Kahan, The Lumineers, Mt. Joy, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, and Lake Street Dive. With 2026 marking the festival’s third instalment, anticipation is already building for another carefully curated bill.

Attendees can expect immersive experiences beyond the music, including artist-led activities, wellness sessions, and local excursions. Past years have sold out quickly, with demand driven by the festival’s intimate scale and strong sense of community among fans of indie and folk-pop.

More details, including the artist lineup and ticket packages for 2026, are expected in the coming months. Fans are encouraged to pre-register or keep watch for the next wave of announcements from Kahan and the Out of the Blue team.
