It was a celebration for the ages, as MULTI-PLATINUM star Dustin Lynch hosted a wet-and-wild 10th Anniversary CMP Pool Party at Luke Bryan’s Crash My Playa 2025 in Riviera Cancún, Mexico, last Friday (1/17). See full event photos here and watch a recap video here.
Themed “LET’S GET NAUGHTY-CAL,” a rowdy mix of nautical vibes, Yacht Rock flow, and college party chaos ensued for the 4K partiers. Making a grand entrance on jet skis with his band, Lynch rode to the beach in style with a parrot on his shoulder. Then, firing up a full-blown parade once he hit the sand, a mariachi band, samba dancers, and fire-blowers joined him en route to the stage to officially kick off the festivities.
Performing two live sets featuring Yacht Rock covers like “September” (Earth, Wind & Fire), “Rich Girl” (Daryl Hall & John Oates), and “Africa” (Toto), among smash hits across his 10 #1s including “Stars Like Confetti,” “Thinking ‘Bout You (feat. MacKenzie Porter),” and latest chart-topper “Chevrolet (feat. Jelly Roll)” (from Killed The Cowboy), Lynch also stunned the packed pool with a surprise guest appearance by fellow BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville labelmate Jason Aldean for a tequila shot toast.
Dressed as the “captain” of the bash, Lynch brought his famed spinning wheel featuring hilarious activities like “Get George Michael'ed” and “Mullet from DL,” alongside awarding prizes for the best-dressed fans in a NAUGHTY-CAL Costume Contest.
Offering back-to-back days of unpredictable music and mayhem, Lynch started the party early this year by hosting an Oversized Beer Pong Tournament for the first time the day prior (1/16). With CMT host Cody Alan joining Lynch for the first round, check out CMT Hot 20 Countdown for on-site footage airing February 1 and 2 at 9 a.m. ET/8 a.m. CT on CMT.
Having thrown see-and-be-seen pool parties in Las Vegas, NV, Nashville, TN, and Lake Ozark, MO, as well, with special pop-ups by Brad Arnold (3 Doors Down), Jordan Davis, HARDY, Uncle Kracker, MacKenzie Porter, and Little Big Town, the Grand Ole Opry member has played to over 4 MILLION fans spanning five headline runs, in addition to touring with Country’s biggest names like Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, and Brad Paisley.
Adding to his list of landmark shows, Lynch next has a bucket list billing headlining DUSTIN LYNCH – LIVE AT RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE in Morrison, CO, on April 16. Presented by Coors Banquet, a percentage of the ticket proceeds will benefit the Wildland Firefighter Foundation (WFF). Supported by Sister Hazel, fans can purchase tickets here.
