Wilco’s Sky Blue Sky: Everything You Need to Know About the Mexico Return

Every time we are asked to help curate one of these festivals it feels like a dream opportunity to gather up our families, invite some friends, old and new, and sing some songs by the sea. Truly a hard thing to argue with in terms of a good time. Want to join us? We hope you can. We’d love to see you. You might even see one of us in shorts. Not likely, but it’s your best shot.”
– Jeff Tweedy

Wilco announces the return of Sky Blue Sky, a destination concert experience curated by the band, taking place January 15-19, 2026 in Mexico at the all-inclusive Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya. In its fourth year, Sky Blue Sky will feature three Wilco shows, plus performances by Dr. Dog, MJ Lenderman & The Wind, Waxahatchee, Cameron Winter, Yo La Tengo, The Jayhawks, Jeff Tweedy, Michael Shannon & Jason Narducy & Friends Play R.E.M., Valerie June, Jeff Tweedy, Hurray for the Riff Raff, The Autumn Defense, Case Oats, and a live podcast recording of How Long Gone.

Sky Blue Sky continues to deliver a one-of-a-kind vacation experience that goes beyond the music. Daily activities offered include morning yoga, poolside games, artist-hosted workshops, and more. Additionally, guests can book off-site excursions to explore the Riviera Maya region. For a preview of what the experience will look like, watch the Sky Blue Sky 2023 Recap. Pre-sale for returning guests opens June 24th and public on sale starts June 25th at 1pm Eastern at www.wilcoskybluesky.com. First time fans can opt-in for Pre-sale access here.

Sky Blue Sky offers fans a variety of on-site rooming accommodations, dining options, and all-inclusive amenities, fully taking over the Hard Rock Hotel. The event transforms a stunning beachfront resort into the ideal music venue, offering unique performances on multiple tropical stages with top-tier production. The Main Stage Courtyard delivers exceptional acoustics, complimentary craft cocktails, and chef-curated food stations. Daytime and sunset shows take place on a Beach Stage set right on the Caribbean coastline. Guests finish the night at the intimate Late Night Stage for concerts under the stars.

Returning guests can look forward to the same fan-friendly venue layout with updated resort offerings, including an array of new restaurant concepts as well as guest room amenities.

Charitable organization Positive Legacy will be working with Sky Blue Sky to integrate live music and service by taking actions that positively impact the local community and the environment during the event. Positive Legacy has made an impact in the Riviera Maya region by providing emergency hunger relief, medical and school supplies, building playgrounds and community gardens, extensive beach cleanups, and improving the infrastructure of the largest turtle sanctuary in the Yucatan. Further details on how to get involved while at Sky Blue Sky will be announced closer to the time of the event.
