About The Event

DarkStar's XII Jamaican 2025 Jam In The Sand

JANUARY 14-15-16-17, 2025

Jam in the Sand is the next installment of a twelve-year tradition of Dark Star Orchestra’s annual return to Jamaica. Jamaica has provided the perfect backdrop for Jam in the Sand, a country rich in music, a people who could not be friendlier, and food and drink that tantalizes.

Fans can expect what we like to call an intimate beach party with a backstage vibe; as musicians and fans get to co-mingle, the event provides the perfect combination of music, activities, and time to chill (after all, it is Jamaica). The daily schedule allows you to decide the pace of your day, have a leisurely breakfast followed by beach time, or maybe you would prefer to start with some yoga and then have a smoothie while waiting for the massage you booked at the Spa. It is your call. However, the pace will pick up as the day progresses: a late afternoon set, take in the sunset with a tropical cocktail, grab a bite to eat, and head back to the beach for two sets of DSO, followed by a bonfire with late night music to ease you off to bed.

Rinse and repeat, and by the end of four days, you will have absorbed all you can eat, drink and listen to as you begin counting the days until the start of Jam in the Sand 13...
