Sun, Sand, and Sound: Top Destination Festivals in 2026

Sunshine, palm trees, and your favorite bands—what more could you ask for? As the days get shorter and the weather gets cooler, it’s time to look ahead to a live music vacation.

From the beaches of Mexico, to the jungle of Costa Rica, to the open sea, there are plenty of destination festivals to choose from. CashorTrade is proud to be the ONLY secondary ticketing platform where you can safely buy and sell travel packages for these all-inclusive destination events.

Get ready to trade crowded arenas for tropical vibes and unforgettable adventures.

Phish Riviera Maya

Phish Riviera Maya returns for its 9th edition from January 28-31 at the Moon Palace in Cancun, Mexico. After braving the cold and the crowds of the New Year’s Eve run from December 28-31 at MSG, Phish fans head south of the border (and over the moon) for four nights of dancing in the Sand or splashing in the sea.

In addition to four full Phish shows and the all-inclusive treatment, Phish Riviera Maya offers yoga classes, mezcal tastings, disc golf, sailing school, and more. If you’re not feeling active, indulge at the spa and relax on the beach. Or just party it up poolside!
