The time has come.. The 4th annual AWOL Sun is upon us!

We are pleased to announce the 4th annual AWOL Sun in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico! Join us where it all began, at the world-famous Nikki Beach on Medano Beach. Once again, we’ll be taking over the entire ME Cabo resort, with some of the biggest and best names in dance music, old friends, new friends, and plenty of fun. This four-night experience will feature over 14 hours of music each day, with daytime pool parties, night events, and of course the closing party on the beach, a tradition started last year that is sure to amaze.

Announcing the first-annual AWOL Oasis in Palm Springs!

We are pleased to announce the first-annual AWOL Oasis in Palm Springs, California! This 2-night experience will be hosted at The Curve Hotel in Palm Springs, a beautiful boutique property!

We'll be hosting a Friday afternoon pool party & keep the music going well into Saturday morning, an all-day pool party on Saturday, and finish it off with a Saturday night closing party. The Curve boasts beautiful views, cozy cabanas, and a large pool and jacuzzi for your enjoyment.

The Curve is a boutique hotel in Palm Springs, we'll be taking over the pool area, along with every room facing it! All pool-view rooms (with a balcony or patio overlooking all the action) are dedicated to AWOL, along with three more buildings on property that we've taken over!

Palm Springs is a short drive from anywhere in Southern California, and since it's our 2-night summer event, we've priced it to be extremely affordable! No flights, no time off work, just a short vacation with some of your favorite people and music, under the sun with beautiful desert mountain views.

AWOL Oasis is now SOLD OUT - but you may email oasis@tryawol.com to be placed on a waiting list.
A hotel package through AWOL will be the only way to grant entry to the pool area for this private event.
Please see here for details!
Email oasis@tryawol.com or call (866) 410-0707 with any questions.

Meet AWOL Snow headliners REBECCA & FIONA!

Swedish DJ and producer duo Rebecca & Fiona (Rebecca Scheja and Fiona Fitzpatrick) have been ruling the Stockholm club scene and are quickly spreading their reign across Europe and the US. Armed with badass beats and hard-dropping bass, these two talented ladies are showing they can do it all - DJ, produce, sing, write, and put on one hell of a show! Ever since the release of their first single “Luminary Ones” in 2010, their career trajectory has been nothing short of impressive - with nominations and awards for DJ of the year (2009), Best Club Hosts, and winning the 2012 Swedish Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance (for their album I Love You, Man). Moreover, they've been touring all over the world alongside the likes of Tiësto, Kaskade, Axwell and Steve Angello; these gifted women are a serious musical force to reckon with! read more...
