Todos Santos Music Festival Lineup Announced

The fifth annual Todos Santos Music Festival will be held January 14 – 16 and January 20 – 23, 2016 in Todos Santos, Baja California, Mexico, benefitting The Palapa Society of Todos Santos, A.C. and other local charities. R.E.M.’s Peter Buck has curated a lineup that spans rock, alt-country and Latin music for the event set for the legendary Hotel California and in the historic town plaza.

Those aboard for the festival include Death Cab For Cutie, Jeff Tweedy, Old 97’s, Drive-By Truckers, The Jayhawks, The Autumn Defense, La Santa Cecilia, Filthy Friends, Torreblanca, Tigira and more. Attendees will also enjoy performances by Southern Baja-based musicians in a special showcase on January 20.

“The Todos Santos Music Festival has grown from a few friends playing for a few people into an incredible event featuring well-known bands and bigger crowds, without losing the intimacy or impromptu spirit,” said Peter Buck. “The opportunity to bring artists together to support the Palapa Society’s educational mission, along with other worthy local charities, is extremely gratifying for all of us. I’m looking forward to the festival’s fifth installment.”

Tickets will be available for purchase starting October 15. Head to the festival’s website for more information and ticketing details.
