If you're happy to have all that well behind you, but still have a yen to rock out - perhaps with some ritzy conveniences - the Southern rock band My Morning Jacket has a deal for you.
The band is presiding over One Big Holiday, a four-day festival that the group is calling “an all-inclusive musical adventure,†an hour south of Cancún, Mexico, near Playa del Carmen, Jan. 26 to 30.
At prices that range from $1,249 to $2,599, tickets to the festival - which the band is calling “an all-inclusive musical adventure†- include a room at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya, as well as meals, drinks, activities (yoga classes, tennis, kayaking, snorkeling, tequila tastings and dance parties are among those promised). And, of course, concerts.
My Morning Jacket plans to play three full sets. Also on the bill are the Flaming Lips, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Mariachi El Bronx and the D.J. Rob Garza, from Thievery Corporation.
