Acclaimed American rock band Blackberry Smoke, in partnership with Cloud 9 Adventures, proudly presents the second edition of High Tide Getaway — a four-night destination concert vacation taking place December 4-8, 2026. This intimate experience will be held at the oceanfront Dreams Sapphire Resort & Spa, a fully updated and recently expanded all-inclusive resort.
High Tide Getaway will feature three full shows from Blackberry Smoke — celebrating the band’s 25th anniversary and showcasing their “unique blend of hard rock, southern rock, country, blues, and masterful songwriting” (Forbes) — alongside additional performances from Jamey Johnson, Steve Earle, Margo Price, Reckless Kelly, The Band of Heathens, Robert Jon & The Wreck, The Steed Brothers ft. Charlie Starr, and special guests The Black Bettys during the four-night event.
High Tide Getaway features a full resort takeover at Dreams Sapphire, exclusively hosting event guests. The concert venues — including a beachfront main stage, poolside gazebo, and open-air palapa hosting late-night shows — are revered for their uniqueness and intimacy. These carefully designed spaces sit just steps away from guest accommodations and the resort’s comprehensive all-inclusive amenities.
This is the perfect winter concert getaway for music fans and avid vacationers alike.
The intimate event brings artists and fans together through activities and workshops, poolside contests and games, daily yoga, charity opportunities, and themed nights during the tropical escape. In addition to the happenings on the property, guests can also book off-site excursions to explore the beauty and culture of the surrounding region, extending from Cancun to Tulum.
EVENT ON-SALE DETAILS
All-inclusive packages for guests who opted into the pre-sale will be available for purchase on May 12, 2026. Remaining rooms will go on sale to the public beginning May 13 at 1:00 p.m. ET through the High Tide Getaway website.
Packages include a four-night stay at the resort, three full Blackberry Smoke concerts — plus performances from the curated lineup of additional artists — access to luxurious all-inclusive resort amenities with unlimited food and drinks at multiple onsite restaurants and bars, and the musical adventure of a lifetime.
Various room types are available, including tropical-view accommodations, beachfront swim-outs, private villas, and expansive suites overlooking the main stage.
Blackberry Smoke’s High Tide Getaway is produced by Cloud 9 Adventures, the premier provider of international concert vacations since 2003. Cloud 9 Adventures brings bands and fans together to create unforgettable memories and life-changing experiences at all-inclusive resorts and aboard luxury cruise ships.

ABOUT BLACKBERRY SMOKE
Acclaimed American rock band Blackberry Smoke is “one of the premier acts of bluesy country-rock” (Rolling Stone) and an undeniable force in music today. Celebrating their 25th anniversary this year, Blackberry Smoke has built a passionate and loyal community of fans and a historic career, including becoming the first independent artist/band to have an album reach #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.
The band is also part of a select group of artists to top both the Billboard Country Albums and Americana/Folk Albums charts alongside names such as Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Willie Nelson, Beyoncé, and Kacey Musgraves.
Since forming in 2001, Blackberry Smoke has released eight studio albums, including their latest, Be Right Here, produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb. The album debuted at #1 on the Current Country Albums chart, Americana/Folk Albums chart, and Current Rock Albums chart.
Released to widespread acclaim, Premier Guitar praised the band, stating, “Blackberry Smoke is what happens when real musicians tell authentic stories through great songs,” while Relix proclaimed, “Be Right Here is what Blackberry Smoke has been heading toward all along.”
Known for their electric live performances, the band has sold out shows across the world and will continue touring through the fall on their “Rattle, Ramble & Roll Tour.”
In addition to their work as musicians, Blackberry Smoke remains deeply committed to charitable work through the Brit Turner Family Fund, a nonprofit supporting several national foundations dedicated to curing children’s cancer.
To date, Blackberry Smoke has raised more than $2 million for children’s cancer research charities through meet-and-greets, charity motorcycle rides, signed guitars, memorabilia donations, and additional fundraising efforts. Last summer, the band donated more than $100,000 to CURE Childhood Cancer and the Brit Turner Family Fund in honor of their late drummer’s legacy.
