Noah Kahan is a highly acclaimed indie folk artist who has been on a tear since breaking onto the scene with hits like “Stick Season.” His latest album, The Great Divide, dropped earlier this year, and his ongoing 2026 North American tour is completely sold out, with resale prices reaching absurd heights. Luckily for fans, there’s another option to catch Kahan, and it might just be the most enticing event of all – his annual destination festival, Out of the Blue.
Kahan hosted the 2026 edition of Out of the Blue earlier this year, which featured sets from acts like Mumford & Sons, Caamp, Role Model, Flipturn, and more. There was also the special Noah & Friends set, beach soccer with Kahan, morning yoga with Leif Vollebekk, special poolside and beachside happenings, and a host of other unique experiences. Kahan said the event was the “best weekend of my life,” and it’s easy to see why.
Noah Kahan’s Tour Is Super Sold Out
Kahan’s “The Great Divide Tour” is super, mega, totally, completely, absolutely sold out. You can still test your luck on the secondary market, but at this rate, tickets to the World Cup might be cheaper and easier to get your hands on. With prices climbing, a destination festival curated by Kahan starts to become all the more attractive. At the moment, passes are still available for Out of the Blue 2027, so this may be one of the better chances to catch a set within the next year.
Hayley Freakin’ Williams
Hayley Williams, the star of Paramore, is also co-headlining Out of the Blue 2027. She has continued to ride off the back of her well-received 2025 album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party, which featured one of the best songs of last year. She’ll bring those tunes, as well as the rest of her solo catalog, to the Moon Palace Resort come January, and it’s likely she’ll bring her “The Hayley Williams Show” theatrics or hop on stage with Kahan.
Other Notable Names
Out of the Blue 2027 will also feature sets from Mt. Joy, The Head and the Heart, Gregory Alan Isakov, Gigi Perez, Del Water Gap, Buffalo Traffic Jam, and Mon Rovîa, with more to be announced. Even with the cliffhanger of what other great artists will be added, it’s undeniably already a killer collection of music makers. And beyond their respective sets, make sure to keep an eye out for them to hop on stage during the always-special Noah & Friends set.
The Noah & Friends Set
The Noah & Friends set is a special super jam set full of surprises that Kahan hosts each year at Out of the Blue. Artists from across the lineup (and beyond?) hop on stage with Kahan for covers, fresh renditions, and good times. Last year, for example, saw Kahan connect with figures like Perez, Flipturn, Arcy Drive, and more. The one-off supergroup covered classics and new favorites, and who knows what Kahan has in store for 2027!
Vacation Mode (Everything Else)
Importantly, though, there’s much more to Noah Kahan’s Out of the Blue than just the music. It’s a core aspect, of course, but it’s also a destination festival, after all. That means that the experience also offers all of the local cultural staples and adventures, plus daily pool performances, late night concerts, up-close sit-ins with artists on the lineup, and surprise community experiences. Packages are also all-inclusive, meaning food, beverages, round-trip transportation between the airport and resort, and other amenities are included.
Out of the Blue is a Noah Kahan show, a curated music festival with one-of-a-kind offerings, and a beach vacation all in one. Now’s your chance to secure your passes before they’re gone. With its unique blend of music, culture, and adventure, Out of the Blue 2027 is an event you won’t want to miss. So mark your calendars for January 7th through January 10th, 2027, and get ready for the ultimate destination festival experience.
