Country Splash Cabo Fest With Riley Green, Jon Pardi and More Combines Song, Sand & Surf: 7 Best Moments

From Riley Green's grounding set to Tucker Wetmore's keyboard musings and Cameron Whitcomb's elevated performance, here are the highlights.

When Country Splash Cabo co-founder Robert Fried first talked to Billboard about launching the destination festival in Cabo San Lucas, he said, “One of the core concepts [is] to be the opposite of a major field festival.

The intent is to be up close and personal where you can see your favorite country artists from 100 feet away instead of watching on an LED screen.”.

O primeiro (esperançosamente) evento anual ocorreu de 4 a 6 de setembro. Country Splash comprou o resort Paradisus Cabo San Lucas, com 350 quartos/suites, um luxuoso resort à beira-mar com tudo incluído, e também firmou acordos com hotéis vizinhos para criar uma experiência musical de alto nível no destino.

With headliners Tucker Wetmore, Jon Pardi and Riley Green, the poolside festival also featured an undercard that included such developing talent as Jacob Hackworth, Blake Whiten, Zach John King and Lauren Watkins.

Rounding out the bill were Dasha, LoCash and Cameron Whitcomb, who were among the best received acts of the event.
