Get ready to trade your leather jackets in for swimwear. Rock The Tides, a brand-new destination rock festival, is crashing into Mexico’s Riviera Maya this November 2025, and it’s bringing the thunder with it.
Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, and Festication have teamed up to deliver an unforgettable three-day, all-inclusive rock experience on the pristine shores of the Caribbean. Hosted across two luxurious 5-star resorts, Barceló Riviera Maya (Adults Only) and Barceló Maya Grand—this isn’t just another festival. It’s rock and roll heaven in paradise.
Headlined by two of the most iconic rock bands of all time—Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard Rock The Tides boasts a stacked lineup of powerhouse acts including:
Bret Michaels
Extreme
The Struts
Buckcherry
Dorothy
Living Colour
Moon Walker
Velvet Daydream
Expect a weekend of massive riffs, soaring vocals, and unforgettable moments from Living Colour’s genre-bending funk-metal to The Struts’ swaggering glam revival and Dorothy’s powerhouse blues-rock. Every set promises something new and it’s happening steps from the sea.
Whether it’s Mötley Crüe’s wild, over-the-top rock spectacle or Def Leppard’s pitch-perfect anthems, fans will experience these arena legends up close and unfiltered. “Mexico has always been one of the most electric places we’ve played,” says Mötley Crüe. “We know this one will be no different—it’s going to be an epic night.”
And Def Leppard? They’re bringing their full force to the beach. With decades of hits and a reputation as the world’s greatest live rock band, they’re ready to turn the Riviera into their stage.
This isn’t just a show, fans will have the chance to enjoy their own version of rock and roll paradise. Festival packages include:
A luxury resort room
Unlimited food & drinks
Access to all performances
Airport transportation
Plus, curated off-site excursions like catamaran sails, cenote swims, and snorkeling adventures make this more than a music fest—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime getaway.
Brought to you by Festication, the minds behind TOOL Live in the Sand, Rock The Tides is redefining what it means to go to a festival. “It’s not just about the show,” says Donnie Estopinal of Disco Presents. “It’s a dream vacation with your favorite bands.”
As Tyler Fey of Feyline puts it: “There is only one VIP, and that is the person who bought the ticket.” Rock The Tides embodies that ethos—treating every guest like royalty.
