Excision’s Paradise Blue Festival will not Return in 2025

Neither Excision nor the Paradise Blue Festival team gave a specific reason for pausing the Cancún gathering.


Another one bites the dust, it appears. After running for three years in a row since the pandemic drew to a close, Excision‘s Paradise Blue Festival will not return to Cancún in 2025.

The festival shared news of the cancellation in social media posts. “After 3 amazing years of Paradise Blue, we won’t be returning to Cancún this spring,” reads their statement. “We’re going to miss being on the beach with all of you!”

Paradise Blue’s organizers did, however, hint at the festival potentially returning the following year. They wrote, “We’re working towards bringing the event back in 2026, so be sure to sign up for event updates on the website!”

Excision (real name Jeff Abel) has released mixes under his moniker since 2006, branching out into recorded music the following year. A turning point came when he released his 2011 album, X Rated, on deadmau5’s mau5trap imprint. Abel started touring extensively thereafter, performing with bass music supergroup Destroid and headlining plenty of shows across the globe on his own.

Paradise Blue Festival is by no means the only event organized and curated by Abel. Arguably the biggest and most noteworthy of them is Lost Lands, the Legend Valley, Ohio festival that has come to be an annual mecca for bass heads since its inaugural 2017 edition. Abel also organizes Bass Canyon at The Gorge Amphitheatre in Quincy, Washington each year, not to mention The Thunderdome in Tacoma, Washington.

Abel has not issued a statement of his own about the cancellation of Paradise Blue Festival. The DJ and producer is slated to perform next at Apocalypse Zombie Land on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California on November 30.
