DCD2 Records and multi-platinum selling, Grammy-nominated band Fall Out Boy (who both opened the Alternative Press Music Awards and took home the event’s Album of Year Award) proudly announced today the inaugural Hydra Fest ~ the band’s ultimate fan experience and destination concert event. Fall Out Boy brings their epic live show to an intimate setting for 2,500 lucky fans who will be on hand at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya from April 15 – April 19, 2015 for an unforgettable 4-night tropical rock & roll getaway. Hydra Fest brings the bands and their fans together for a mind-blowing vacation where live performances take place with a panoramic view of the Caribbean Sea as a backdrop.
“We have the best fans in the world, so Hydra Fest is going to be our chance to get up close and personal, on vacation in the Caribbean. It’s going to be the world’s best rock n roll vacation,” said Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy.

More than a series of live shows, Hydra Fest is a complete experience and a singular chance to see FOB & the DCD2 family in an incredible setting. Festival attendees stay on site at the resort and all meals, drinks, concerts and activities are included in the package. Fans will also enjoy major band interaction, artist-hosted activities and can take advantage of the resort’s world-class spa, float in one of the many pools on property, explore the region on an off-site excursion or go for a swim in the private lagoon.
