Organizer Billy Evans has completed creating the lineup, identifying the performers for the annual event. They will include some popular repeat acts such as Wild T, Johnny Sansone and Cainn Cruz, the young singer-guitarist from Huatulco, and several new ones.
All concerts will take place at the Split Coconut, under the palm trees, and across from the Hotel Santa Fe. Admission is $90 MXN; a season’s pass can be purchased, giving access to all the concerts for $1,200 for two people.
