Kaaboo Cayman, which will debut Feb. 15-16, 2019, will include headliners from Duran Duran and Bryan Adams to Flo Rida, Sean Paul, Shaggy, Salt-N-Pepa and more.

The event will also have a comedy lineup, which will invite comic legends including Wanda Sykes, David Spade and Darrell Hammond.

“We are thrilled to reveal our inaugural lineup for KAABOO Cayman,” says KAABOO’s Chief Brand Officer, Jason Felts. “This signature lineup of multi-generational artists was thoughtfully curated to include a little something for everyone. As we extend our brand to paradise, KAABOO Cayman promises a weekend experience designed for the enjoyment of both locals and tourists alike.”

Kaaboo Cayman, which will be set on the island’s famous Seven Mile Beach, will also feature culinary and artistic components, and a day-nightclub adjacent to Seven Mile Beach dubbed BASK.

“We are excited to welcome KAABOO to the Cayman Islands for its first international festival for both locals and visitors to enjoy,” said Hon. Moses Kirkconnell, Minister of Tourism for the Cayman Islands. “The Cayman Islands’ ease of accessibility to and from the U.S., coupled with our elite infrastructure and plenty of desirable lodging and culinary options, offers KAABOO the ideal destination for a unique Caribbean experience.”
