COUNTRY SPLASH KICKS OFF INAUGURAL WEEKEND IN CABO SAN LUCAS

Country Splash’s inaugural weekend is officially underway, bringing country music against the backdrop of a destination getaway to launch the first-ever multi-day beachfront country festival in Cabo, with performances from Tucker Wetmore, Dasha and more launching the three-day experience at Paradisus Los Cabos.
 
As guests arrived at Paradisus Los Cabos, they were welcomed by sunny skies, oceanfront views and the festival’s service-first hospitality. With the all-inclusive resort and beach open for guests to settle into the destination throughout the day, the anticipation built ahead of the evening’s Main Stage performances.
 
At 7 p.m., Jacob Hackworth kicked things off as the sun began to set over Cabo, performing songs from his upcoming debut EP What Took You So Long, before Dee Jay Silver arrived to keep the energy building, blending country favorites with hip-hop, house and EDM between each act, followed by Blake Whiten, whose performance included his Billboard Hot 100-charting single “Bet On That.”
 
Dasha then took the stage to deliver a high-energy set that included her breakout hit, “Austin,” complete with a full-band show to cap it off.
 
Tucker Wetmore brought the inaugural night to its peak with a set featuring fan-favorites “Wind Up Missing You,” “3, 2, 1,” and “Sunburn.”
 
“Great to be able to do what I love at the beach,” Wetmore enthused a half-dozen songs in. “This is officially night one of Country Splash,” he proudly exclaimed to a ready-crowd before introducing his friend and co-writer, Hackworth, to join him on “Wine Into Whiskey.” With a 90-minute set that included “doing whatever I want up here,” Wetmore took the intentionally-intimate festival crowd back with “Casino” and brought a comedic side with banter in between his cover of "Drops of Jupiter” and leading the at-capacity-crowd through Beethoven, Queen and Journey sing-alongs on piano.
 
As day one came to a close, Country Splash Cabo’s opening night line-up set the tone for the rest of the weekend, with its intimate setting offering the energy of a can’t-miss festival alongside the personalized experience at the heart of Country Splash.
 
Country Splash continues Saturday with morning wellness programming hosted by Sports Research, a daytime pool party featuring Diplo and ADHD, a sunset acoustic performance from surprise guests and evening performances from Jon Pardi, LOCASH and Zach John King.
 
Single day tickets are still available for Saturday, September 5, and Sunday, September 6, featuring performances from Riley Green, Cameron Whitcomb, Lauren Watkins, VAVO and more. Tickets are available to purchase HERE.

Both experiences are scheduled for 9am and are available to book through Country Splash’s concierge team.
