Noah Kahan Nabs Hayley, Mt. Joy For Cancun Fest

Noah Kahan is heading back to Cancún for another round of sad songs in paradise. Fresh off scoring a No. 1 album across the world with The Great Divide and selling out arenas and stadiums on a soon-to-begin world tour, the Vermont singer/songwriter has announced the fourth edition of his Out of the Blue festival, returning to Moon Palace Cancún Jan. 7-10, 2027.

This year’s lineup finds Kahan joined on the beach by Paramore’s Hayley Williams, alongside Mt. Joy, The Head and the Heart, Gregory Alan Isakov, Del Water Gap, Gigi Perez, Buffalo Traffic Jam and Mon Rovia. Additional artists will be announced. Produced by Dan Berkowitz’s 100x Hospitality, Out of the Blue leans into community-driven intimacy rather than spectacle — an intriguing contrast to Kahan’s rapidly escalating mainstream profile.

• Gracie Abrams Plots Huge ‘Daughter’ Tour

Indeed, offers something rare for an artist operating at Kahan’s level: proximity. Fans spend four days crossing paths with artists at pool parties, sunrise DJ sets, wellness events, golf tournaments and spontaneous late-night jam sessions that often spill beyond the official schedule (last year’s edition included an impromptu beach soccer game between Kahan and festival attendees).

The weekend culminates with Kahan’s now-traditional “& Friends” closing set, where artists jump onstage for collaborative covers and surprise duets. Kahan did exactly that at Williams’ April 28 Nashville show, where they teamed for his new song “Downfall.”

All-inclusive Out of the Blue packages cover accommodations, unlimited food and drinks, airport transfers and curated excursions ranging from cenote diving to catamaran cruises and tours of ancient Mayan sites. Returning guests get first crack at packages during an alumni presale running June 1-2, with the general onsale beginning June 3.
