Excision’s Paradise Blue Festival Will Take A Year Off In 2025

Excision Paradise Blue

Excision’s Paradise Blue will not return in 2025.

Organizers announced on social media yesterday that the dubstep icon’s popular all-inclusive resort festival in Cancún, Mexico will take at least one year off.

“After 3 amazing years of Paradise Blue, we won’t be returning to Cancún this spring,” a festival statement reads. “We’re going to miss being on the beach with all of you.”

Though the statement didn’t reveal why this year’s would-be fourth edition of Paradise Blue was canceled, organizers went on to explain that the bass-fueled vacation isn’t gone for good and that they are “working towards bringing back the event in 2026.” Check out the full post below.

Alongside its flagship Lost Lands and Bass Canyon festivals and Tacoma, Washington’s famous Thunderdome weekender, Excision’s event production company Excision Presents has held Paradise Blue at Cancún’s Paradisus and Fiesta Americana resorts every spring since live music events returned after the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022.

The festival, which features all-inclusive resort amenities, a beachfront main stage, and one of the few resort swimming pools where splashing is heavily encouraged, welcomed performances from bass stars like Jessica Audiffred, Eptic, ATLiens, Wooli, SVDDEN DEATH, Dion Timmer, and more last year, alongside nightly headline sets from Excision.

Excision—real name Jeff Abel—has not yet commented on Paradise Blue’s 2025 cancellation. Following a scheduled performance at Insomniac’s Apocalypse Zombieland on Thanksgiving weekend, the DJ and producer is slated for a busy run of New Year’s shows with stops in Detroit and Miami under his Excision Presents banner and further appearances at Decadence Colorado, Decadence Arizona, and Texas’ Lights All Night.
