The event will feature Gov’t Mule, Warren Haynes, Drive-By Truckers & others
Grammy-nominated renowned band Gov’t Mule has announced the details for Island Exodus 15, returning to Jewel Paradise Cove Resort in Runaway Bay, Jamaica from January 19-23, 2025 for four all-inclusive music-filled days and nights. The ultimate “concert-cation” experience featuring epic, intimate beachfront concerts is hosted by Gov’t Mule, who will perform three full two-set shows, and Grammy-winning frontman, guitar legend, and producer Warren Haynes, who will perform a special afternoon solo set. Joining Mule and Haynes this year will be Drive-By Truckers, Karina Rykman, and Big Sugar, performing two shows throughout the event, plus special guest Ron Holloway.
“We’re excited to return to Jamaica for our 15th Island Exodus,” shares Haynes. “This is always such a special experience so this year, we handpicked a lineup featuring talented friends of ours and artists that share a connection with Gov’t Mule. We have a long history with Drive-By Truckers, dating back to 2002, shortly after the release of their Southern Rock Opera record, when they opened for Mule’s fall tour. We haven’t had an opportunity to play together in a long time so that will be fun. Our connection to Big Sugar goes back even further – all the way to the start of Gov’t Mule in the mid-90s. So with Mule celebrating our 30th anniversary this year, we had to have those guys out there on the sand with us. Karina Rykman and her band played last year’s Christmas Jam and we knew right then and there that we needed to have them in Jamaica. And then, of course, we can’t have an Island Exodus without Ron Holloway!”
