KAABOO Del Mar announces 2018 daily performance lineup and single-day tickets

The daily performance schedule has been announced for the 2018 edition of KAABOO Del Mar, along with single-day tickets that go on sale today.

The full list of daily performers appears below, along with prices for single-day tickets and VIP passes.

The headliners for Sept. 14 — the upscale music, comedy, food and drink festival’s opening day — are Foo Fighters, Halsey, Post Malone, Incubus and comedian Craig Ferguson.

The headliners for Sept. 15 are Imagine Dragons, N.E.R.D, Earth, Wind & Fire, Billy Idol and comedian Iliza Shlesinger.

The headliners for Sept. 16 are Katy Perry, Robert Plant and The Sensational Space Shifters, Slash, featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators, Wiz Khalifa and comedian Nick Offerman.

Whether by design or coincidence, the lineup includes at least one Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee each day.

On Sept. 14, it’s Blondie. On Sept. 15, it’s Earth Wind & Fire. And on Sept. 16, it’s former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant, Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash and former Paul Butterfield Blues Band guitarist Elvin Bishop.

The festival, held at the Del Mar Racetrack and the adjacent fairgrounds, celebrates its fourth anniversary this year.

Single-day Hang Loose general admission tickets are priced at $139 each, plus service charges, while single-day Hang Five VIP passes are priced at $339 each, plus service charges, “while supplies last.”

Three-day Hang Loose passes are currently priced at $279, while three-day Hang Five and Hang Ten VIP passes are currently priced at $949 and $3,799 each, plus service charges.

And, for those for whom money is no object — and those who don’t object to being described as those for whom money is no object — there’s the Ultimate Hang pass. Priced at $15,000 each, plus service charges, it includes: “exclusive front-row center viewing at each stage; a private backstage lounge area; priority access to meet-and-greet experiences; food and beverage throughout the weekend in select areas; on-demand car service to and from the event; an upgraded swag bag; and golf cart service throughout the venue.”
