Sunset Fest Cabo Rocked by Headliner Withdrawals Weeks Before Launch
1 Oct
Summary
- Majority of artists scheduled for Sunset Fest Cabo have dropped out
- Headliners Alan Parsons, Kenny Loggins, and others cancel performances
- Fans compare event to doomed Fyre Fest
In a troubling turn of events, the upcoming Sunset Fest Cabo in Mexico is facing a major lineup crisis just weeks before its scheduled launch on October 24th. The luxury event, billed as a yacht rock paradise on the shores of Medano Beach, has seen a majority of its scheduled artists suddenly withdraw from the three-day lineup.
Headliners like Alan Parsons, Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross, Al Stewart, and others have all announced that they will no longer be performing at the festival due to "circumstances outside of their control." Even Ambrosia, whose frontman had previously hailed the event as the "WOODSTOCK OF YACHT ROCK," has also canceled their appearance.
With the Saturday and Sunday headliners now out of the picture, the festival's future remains uncertain. Tickets on the event website appear to no longer be available for purchase, and fans inquiring about refunds have been directed to contact their point of purchase.
Despite the lineup fallout, the event's homepage continues to invite attendees to an "unforgettable experience" with "world-class performances, luxury accommodations, and thrilling excursions." However, links to VIP and resort packages are now broken.
Soft rock fans have taken to social media, likening the succession of dropouts to the disastrous Fyre Fest, with comments ranging from "the Fyre Fest of Yacht Rock" to "The Fyre Fest for Boomers." As the festival's future remains uncertain, the organizers have yet to provide an official statement on the situation.
