Closer To The Sun: four musical nights in Puerto Aventuras

Closer To The Sun combines resort holidays with Slightly Stoopid, Stick Figure and their festival community. Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya in Puerto Aventuras is the musical base from 9 to 13 January 2027. Four nights give you time to settle into the festival and hear different performances at one main venue.

The musical atmosphere

Slightly Stoopid blend rock, reggae, acoustic soul, hip-hop and punk. The group values improvisation and collaboration, making live performances attractive to fans of free, genre-crossing music. The festival extends that spirit over several days of concert holidays.

Between performances, guests relax at the resort, meet fellow fans and choose daytime activities. All music and event programming takes place at Hard Rock; check the current schedule before travelling to choose your key evenings.

Accommodation and participation

The organiser offers Hard Rock as the main resort and extra rooms at Barceló Maya Caribe and UNICO 20°87°. Guests at the additional resorts have transfers to Hard Rock programming at specified times; these do not run around the clock. On 23 October, packages for the 2027 edition are advertised as sold out with a waitlist available.

Discussing your journey

Puerto Aventuras is a separate Riviera Maya location, outside Cancún city. Check the transport in your festival booking first. For an independent journey, give Hola Taxi the exact resort, date, departure address and passenger count. Airport arrivals at CUN or TQO and journeys between hotels should be discussed as separate routes.
