Gov’t Mule has officially unveiled the details for the 16th annual Island Exodus, the band’s beloved concert getaway tradition. Moving to the Hideaway at Royalton Blue Waters Montego Bay in Trelawny, Jamaica from its longtime venue in Runaway Bay, the band will welcome its dedicated fans and an all-star lineup to join in the tropical sojourn from January 15-18, 2026. This year’s “concert-cation” will feature three full two-set shows from the host band and a special afternoon solo set from frontman Warren Haynes, as well as performances from moe., Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country and the legendary John Scofield, who will join the host band as a special guest throughout the event.
Island Exodus 16 offers an all-inclusive program with four full days of music and community in newly elevated accommodations. Offstage activities will include a Q&A with Haynes, the Exodus-eve pre-party with Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, a corn hole tournament hosted by bassist Kevin Scott, beachfront tie-dying, the traditional Fan Jam led and much more.
Tickets for Island Exodus 16 will be available first for attendees of Island Exodus 15 with a pre-sale beginning on Thursday, July 17. All other previous Island Exodus attendees will be able to access packages on Friday, July 18 at 12 p.m. ET ahead of the public on-sale on Saturday, July 19 at 10 a.m. ET.
