    What Palm Tree Music Festival is

    Palm Tree Music Festival is a traveling, small-capacity dance and pop festival run by Palm Tree Crew, the company co-founded by the Norwegian DJ and producer Kygo. Rather than one large annual event in one place, it stages one- and two-day shows in resort destinations, chiefly the Hamptons, Aspen, Napa and Montecito in the United States, plus one-off stops abroad. Kygo, known for bringing tropical house to the mainstream, headlines many editions himself.

    The pitch is the opposite of a mega-festival. The organizer describes limited ticket counts, premium food and drink partners, and a hospitality-heavy experience, with table service sections alongside general admission. Rolling Stone Australia, quoted on the festival's site, summed up its first four years as a global network of dance parties that had visited Hawaii, the Hamptons, Aspen, Egypt, Mexico and Croatia.

    Where and when it happens

    Each stop has its own venue and calendar slot. The recurring U.S. stops as of fall 2026:

    • The Hamptons (summer): held at the Shinnecock Nation near Southampton, New York. The festival billed its 2026 edition as year six of the Hamptons event.
    • Aspen (February): at Rio Grande Park, about a five-minute walk from downtown Aspen. The February 19–20, 2027 edition marks the fifth year, and the festival reports that the 2025 and 2026 editions sold out.
    • Napa (early October): at The Meritage Resort and Spa, expanding to two days, October 2–3, 2026, in its second year. Music runs roughly 3 to 10 p.m.
    • Montecito (October): at the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club in Carpinteria, a club founded in 1911, on October 10–11, 2026.

    The festival's site also lists other Palm Tree events, including Lake Tahoe at Lakeview Lodge on Heavenly Mountain, West Palm Beach, Montreal, Sardinia, Singapore and a New Year's Eve party in St. Barths. Stops come and go, so confirm the current schedule before planning travel.

    Lineup history

    Kygo is the constant, and the rest of each bill leans toward big-room dance music and crossover pop. Recent lineups published by the festival:

    • Hamptons 2025: Fisher, Kygo, Mau P and BLOND:ISH, among others.
    • Napa 2026: Zedd and a Disclosure DJ set on Friday; Kygo with Hugel and friends on Saturday.
    • Montecito 2026: Kygo, The Chainsmokers, T-Pain, Zedd, The All-American Rejects and Loud Luxury.
    • Aspen 2027: The Chainsmokers, Fisher with Chris Lake, Hugel and Disco Lines, with more artists to come.
    • Smaller stops: Two Friends at Lake Tahoe; Loco Dice and The Martinez Brothers in Sardinia; Calvin Harris at the St. Barths New Year's Eve event.

    Because capacities are small, a single headliner announcement can move demand sharply, especially for one-day stops.

    Ticket tiers explained

    Palm Tree uses a tiered system that is consistent in name but varies in detail by stop.

    • General Admission (GA): standing access to the main stage area, bars and vendors. In Aspen, GA is an on-snow standing area near the stage.
    • GA+: offered at stops such as the Hamptons and Montecito, adding priority entry, a dedicated bar and upgraded restrooms.
    • VIP: front-row or front-of-stage access in a smaller crowd, with hosted or complimentary drinks and food, dedicated entry and private restrooms. In Aspen, VIP adds a heated lounge off the snow.
    • Palm Club tables: reserved table sections for groups of roughly 8 to 10 or more, with a private host, raised stage-view seating, a private entrance and bottle service. Tables are booked through the organizer.

    Age limits differ by stop

    As published for current editions, GA and GA+ are 18+ in the Hamptons, GA is 18+ in Napa, and GA and VIP are all ages in Aspen, while GA and GA+ are all ages in Montecito. VIP is 21+ in the Hamptons, Napa and Montecito, and Palm Club tables are 21+ at every stop that lists an age. Check the specific event page before buying for anyone under 21.

    How demand behaves

    With limited capacity, Palm Tree stops often sell out at face value; the 2026 Hamptons GA, GA+ and VIP tiers were listed as sold out, with waitlists. That pushes late buyers to the resale market, where the cheapest tier usually goes first. Policies on transfers vary by stop (Aspen's terms, for example, describe wristbands as non-transferable with all sales final), so read the event's terms carefully. Every GoodSeats order is backed by a 100% guarantee.

    Getting there, stop by stop

    Transportation is the biggest planning variable, because most sites are in small towns with limited parking.

    • Hamptons: the festival runs charter buses from multiple stops and sells advance parking passes; for 2026, both sold out. Lots open at 2 p.m., cars must arrive before 9 p.m., and vehicles enter through the West Gate on Montauk Highway. Rideshare is limited, so book ahead.
    • Aspen: Rio Grande Park has no parking. Use Aspen's free shuttle or walk from downtown.
    • Montecito: parking passes must be bought in advance, lots open at 2 p.m., and there is no overnight parking. The rideshare drop-off is near Via Real and Nidever Road.
    • Napa: the resort venue sells hotel packages that bundle tickets and parking, and re-entry is allowed only for hotel-package guests.

    Policies and what to bring

    Rules are set per event, so treat these as examples from the 2026–2027 event pages and confirm on the official Palm Tree events page before you go.

    • Bags: clear bags are the norm. The Hamptons and Aspen limit non-clear bags to 6 by 8 by 3 inches; Napa caps bags at 14 by 6 by 14 inches and bans backpacks.
    • Payment: the Hamptons, Montecito and Napa stops are cashless; Napa specifies Visa and Mastercard only.
    • Tickets: Hamptons tickets are delivered through the POSH app, and paper tickets are not accepted there; Montecito tickets are also sold through POSH.
    • Prohibited items: commonly weapons, glass, outside food and alcohol, and recording equipment. The Hamptons bans video recording, including GoPros.
    • Weather: Napa runs rain or shine. In Aspen, the festival advises dressing warmly for outdoor winter conditions.
    • ID: all guests are ID-checked at the Hamptons, and 21+ areas require a government-issued photo ID.
