Moon Crush "Sunshine Live" presented by The Marriott Vacation Clubs Coming to
The collaboration will launch April 23–24, 2027, with Moon Crush “Sunshine Live” presented by The Marriott Vacation Clubs, an intimate two-night music getaway at Grande Lakes Orlando, a premier luxury resort destination featuring Marriott's Lakeshore Reserve, The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes and JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes.
Multi-platinum, three-time GRAMMY Award-winner, Zac Brown Band, and multi-platinum, seven-time GRAMMY Award winner, Lady A, will headline the inaugural weekend, joined by Colbie Caillat, Drake White, The Castellows and Nashville Yacht Club Band.
Intimately designed for just 4,000 guests, Sunshine Live will transform a green space adjacent to Marriott’s Lakeshore Reserve into a purpose-built open-air music venue featuring Topeka’s signature reserved Cove seating and hospitality. The experience is designed around a simple idea: no lines, no bad seats and no stress – just great music with the people you came to enjoy it with.
Guests can make an entire vacation out of the weekend, spending their days enjoying award-winning accommodations, exceptional dining, championship golf, a world-class spa and expansive pool experiences before walking to the concerts each evening.
At the heart of the music experience are Topeka’s signature Coves – reserved, semi-private spaces that give each group its own home base for the shows. Guests can sit together, come and go without losing their spot, and order food and drinks from their phones for delivery directly to their Cove in minutes. Even the restrooms are air-conditioned.
Owners across The Marriott Vacation Clubs portfolio, including Marriott Vacation Club, Sheraton Vacation Club and Westin Vacation Club, will receive special early access to ticket packages and experiences as part of their ownership. Sunshine Live builds on the recent launch of Inner Circle, The Marriott Vacation Clubs’ owner experiences platform, which connects Owners with special access, benefits and experiences beyond the resort stay.
“Live music has an incredible ability to bring people together, and that fits naturally with the way people think about their most memorable vacations,” said Mike Flaskey, President and Chief Operating Officer of Marriott Vacations Worldwide. “This collaboration gives us an opportunity to create something guests can plan an entire weekend around: great artists, a remarkable
“Moon Crush is a new category of music festival where guests can enjoy world class artist performances in an intimate no line environment where everyone is a VIP,” said Andy Levine, CEO of Topeka. “Guests can spend the day enjoying the resort amenities available across the Grande Lakes Orlando campus and then enjoy a short walk to the venue where your reserved space is already waiting for you. Order food and drinks from your phone, and we bring it to you, so you don’t have to miss a moment of music or connection with your favorite people. That’s Live Music Made Easy.”
Debuting with the Sunshine Live launch, Private Sunset Suites will offer a new reserved seating option for corporate and group entertainment. Designed for up to 10 guests, Private Sunset Suites will allow companies to host clients, reward employees or entertain partners. Private Sunset Suites will also be available for families and larger groups looking to experience the weekend together.
