The artists will perform on various stages located on the beach and at the pools, and there also will be a number of indoor venues at the two resorts.
Besides the performances, the Operation Monster Beach fest will offer a variety of interactive events and activities involving the artists and vacationers, including Q&A sessions, a “Gong Show” karaoke contest, a “So You Think You Can Shred” challenge, cooking and painting demonstrations, basketball and beach volleyball games, and more. Attendees also will have the opportunity to dine with some fo the rockers.
