About The Author
I’m looking to get bottle service for DJ fest Hardwell. If I get a bottle, do I still have to pay entry?
Is there a schedule posted anywhere that lists all of the various music (and/or DJ) festivals that happen in Playa? If so, can you direct me? Thanks!
Unfortunately there is not because some music festivals come for one year and then stop or they only last for a few years, also the dates change each year for some. We do have a yearly calendar of events for Playa article where you can see some of the general times of the year when there are big events. We also try to inform you via our Facebook page of current upcoming things. We also hope to do a “What is going on” page for up to the minute events . It actually is a lot harder than you might think since some events only start promoting 10 days before they happen. We will try to keep you informed. Thanks for your question.
As I website owner I think the articles here is very great, thank you for your efforts.
DJ Fest looks like a blast in Playa del Carmen. Cannot wait until the next one!
I went last year to DJ Fest and cannot wait to go back again! It was a blast. Playa Del Carmen knows how to put on a party and a beach party at that!
І am glad last year I was around to go to DJ Fest. I just happened to be in Playa Del Carmen that week. Very cool and Playa Del Carmen sure knows how to put on a concert. I go a lot to Ibiza and I was impressed with Mexico. I think more and more people will start coming to Playa because of the good value and fun times.
The line up at DJ fest last year was amazing, cannot wait to come to Playa Del Carmen again.
Make sure you book accommodation for DJ Fest in advance. We came and it was full in Playa Del Carmen. We had to look at about 5 places before getting a bed.
Excellent web site you have got here. We are planning on going to DJ Fest this year, let us know when the dates for 2017 are and the DJ’s.
