Crazy for KAABOO

Sept. 16-18

Returning to the Del Mar Fairgrounds for yet another unforgettable weekend, KAABOO, which brands itself as a “mix-perience,” is dedicated to electrifying all the senses. World-class music and comedy, cuisine, craft libations, and contemporary art join forces to create a modern wonderland sure to please every taste.

The musical lineup is scheduled to feature Jimmy Buffett & The Coral Reefer Band, Aerosmith, Jack Johnson, Lenny Kravitz, OneRepublic, Goo Goo Dolls. Gavin Degraw, Steel Pulse, Citizen Cope, and G. Love & Special Sauce, among many other notable acts, as well as more than a dozen emerging and local artists.

For those who love a good laugh, the “Humor Me” programming includes comedy legends Dana Carvey, Darrell Hammond, Jeff Ross, Janeane Garofalo, Natasha Leggero, and many more. And the fun doesn’t stop there — the “Palate” segment of the festival will offer local and regional delicacies and small-batch specialties from a variety of culinary artisans. Foodies will also delight in celebrity chef demos and book signings, chef-band performances, and more. And as if that isn’t all exciting enough, the “Amplify” program allows attendees to secure unique experiences and VIP upgrades, including exclusive artist meet-and-greets, a personal concierge, upgraded seating, and more.
