Founded in 2021 by Norwegian music producer Kygo and his manager Myles Shear, the Palm Tree Music Festival was envisioned as a more intimate and elevated alternative to traditional music festivals. The Hamptons, with their unique blend of natural beauty and vibrant community, provided the perfect backdrop for the festival’s debut and have remained its spiritual home ever since.
2025 Lineup and What to Expect
This year’s lineup features an impressive roster of artists, including Palm Tree Crew co-founder Kygo, Fisher, Mau P, Blond:ish, Coco + Breezy, Tinx & Lucas, Benjamin Lloyd, and Beau Cruz. Past editions have seen headline performances from global superstars like Swedish House Mafia and SOFI TUKKER, with the festival consistently attracting tens of thousands of attendees and selling out both General Admission and VIP tickets.

What sets the Palm Tree Music Festival apart is its focus on hospitality and thoughtful curation. According to Michael Diaz, CEO of Palm Tree Crew Holdings, the festival is less about demographics and more about creating a community of music lovers, creatives, entrepreneurs, and families who come together for an unforgettable experience. Every detail, from the artist lineup to the food and brand partnerships, is carefully selected to reflect the Hamptons’ character and energy.
The festival’s Palm Club, in partnership with WYNN Nightlife, offers a premium hospitality experience, while sponsors like Don Julio Tequila and Abercrombie & Fitch add to the festive atmosphere with unique activations and surprise treats.
Looking Back and Moving Forward
While the 2024 edition faced challenges due to a last-minute venue change, organizers are determined to make the 2025 festival a smoother and more memorable experience. “Returning for our fifth year is not only a milestone for us, but also the perfect way to kick off the summer with the incredible energy of our fans,” said Michael Diaz. “We aim to elevate the experience each year, and 2025 will be no exception.”
