"The Revival feels like coming home"
Info
Come and join us on January 21, 2022 for 2 magical days and 2 epic nights of incredible live music, yoga, camping, food, drink, and connection in the jungle of the beautiful Caribbean coast of Colombia.
We have amazing talent from Latin America, as well as international acts to bring for your listening pleasure. This will truly be the first festival of its kind on the North Coast, so please come and be a part of this special occasion.
After Covid-19, the name of our festival couldn't be more appropriate. We will be reviving so many things, including the return of live music, mass gatherings, support for small businesses, tourism, and the opportunity to connect freely with others. So with this in mind we invite you to revive with us at the 3rd official Revival Festival.
Infrastructures
We will have 3 large camping zones, with shade to keep you cool when the sun is up.
We will have toilets, showers, and sanitary points, and water points to wash your utensils, plates, cups, and hands.
You are welcome to bring your own food and drink, but we will have bars with alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks to purchase, as well as food vendors and a mini market where you can purchase basic foods, fruits, and vegetables.
We will have some plates and cups available, but please try to bring your own that you can reuse, as we want to limit waste to an absolute minimum.
Tickets
We do not do day passes. The price for the ticket includes both days, and while you are free to leave at any time, we do not allow re-entry after leaving because of safety, insurance, and logistical purposes.

Benny
Benjamin Wise founded The Revival Festival, in 2015. The first festival was self-funded, and took place in Squamish, British Columbia. Benjamin grew up in the UK and trained as an actor, and later became a singer-songwriter and event organiser. Many of the artists who performed at the original festival were friends of Benjamin´s, who he met while managing popular bar/music venue “Falconetti´s”, in Vancouver, through booking them for shows there. The original purpose of the festival was to glue together the segregated, but highly talented music community of Vancouver, and to create new and exciting collaborations.
Ashley
A co-founding member of the Revival Festival, Ashley Frerichs brings her passion for music and community to everything she does. After spending years in Vancouver and London, she's now back in her hometown of Calgary living the family life with her partner and son. When she's not on mom-duty, she's likely working on one of her many writing projects, or learning to play the piano.
