Warren Haynes has issued the save-the-date for Island Exodus 16. The forthcoming destination concert event will take place from January 15 to 19, 2026, at its new location, Hideaway at Royalton Blue Waters in Trelawny, Montego Bay, Jamaica. 

The new location represents the first time the event has shifted resorts in seven years. Island Exodus had been hosted at Jewel Runaway Bay during its ninth through 15th iterations. According to the organizers behind the event, the decision to relocate facilities resulted from fan-suggested improvements gathered through the post-event survey. 

“Throughout the years, in the post-event surveys, the improvements asked for the most have been ‘Nicer Beach,’ ‘More Modern Rooms,’ ‘Better Food/More Options,’ and ‘Quicker and Easier Transfers To and From The Airport.’  Hideaway at Royalton Blue Waters checks all of those boxes and many others,” the joint post between Haynes and the event referenced on social media as catalysts for the switch. 

Hideaway at Royalton Blue Waters will offer attendees access to an expansive beach, modern rooms and suite options, including some with swim-out pools. As for common areas, the resort boasts two centrally located pools, one of which overlooks the shore, making it an idyllic spot for daytime pool sets. 

The new location features 12 restaurant options, 11 bars, and 24/7 room service, enhancing the experience with added offerings. A fitness center and spa are also part of the facilities. The Hideaway at Royalton Blue Waters is situated just 35 minutes from the airport, making for easy arrivals and departures. 

On-sale information and the complete artist lineup will be announced shortly.
