“BPM has single handedly taken over the once sleepy town of Playa del Carmen and transformed it into THE winter destination on everyone’s yearly clubbing (party) calendar. As if originally continuing from where Ibiza left off each summer, BPM is now evolving into it’s own unique destination for those who search out only the best underground dance music that our scene has to offer.” -RICHIE HAWTIN

“The incredibly diverse and expansive festival has a lineup to die for, one that will undoubtably satisfy any dance music enthusiast. Start planning what will likely be the best vacation of your life.” – Dancing Astronaut


“Up there with the very best in the world is BPM Festival in Mexico.” – Ibiza Spotlight


“Anyone narrow-minded enough to think Mexico is still all big hats and Mariachi bands will get a serious wake-up call from [BPM] festival. Set in the jaw-droppingly beautiful location of Playa Del Carmen, BPM attracts DJs from all over the world for an epic ten days (and more) of partying.” – Marcus Barnes, ‘Around The World in 80 Raves’
