Countdown To KAABOO: Festival Returns To Del Mar This Weekend

DEL MAR, CA – KAABOO Del Mar kicks off its third annual festival this weekend at the Del Mar racetrack and fairgrounds.

Called a "mixperience" by founder Bryan Gordon, KAABOO combines a diverse lineup of music and comedy acts, art exhibitions, culinary offerings and craft libations. The three-day music and entertainment festival is an evolving adult escape, complete with a swimming pool, private cabanas, concierge service, and much more.

"We have expanded our footprint to accommodate more KAABOO guests who are coming for one or all of our five senses – music, comedy, art, culinary or a variety of indulgences," said Jason Felts, the festival's chief brand and marketing officer. He is also the CEO of KAABOO-partner Virgin Produced. "That said our core mission is the same – to produce a more elevated live entertainment experience for our guests. Guests will continue to see new updates to keep the experience fresh and exciting."

More than 75 music and comedy acts will perform this weekend, including headliners Red Hot Chili Peppers, P!nk, Muse and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

The 2017 festival starts off Thursday with a VIP event featuring Barenaked Ladies and The Dan Band.

Musical acts on Friday, the official opening day of the festival, include the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Weezer, David Guetta, Kesha, X Ambassadors and Michael McDonald, among many others. The comedy lineup Friday features Patton Oswalt, Nick Swarsdon, Arsenio Hall and Bryan Callen.

Full daily lineups and schedules are available online. Festival-goers can also download the KAABOO app to create personalized schedules, map out food and drink stops, and stay up-to-date on event news.
