Daily live sets at the pool, including the fan-favorite Brandi-oke. Swim-up bars, roaming waitstaff, sun on your face. Grab a piña colada or a mocktail and float.

To enhance the overall GJWW Pool Stage experience and improve crowd flow, the Pool Stage will be moving to the Riviera Pool for GJWW8! 

This new setting offers excellent views of the stage from the pool, the surrounding deck area, or the beach (with ample chairs and shade 😎). 

From Friday to Sunday, all Beach, Caribe, and Colonial guests can enjoy access to the Riviera pool. Access will begin in the morning and last 1 hour after the pool stage performances finish each day. 

Please note, the Riviera buffet remains exclusive to Riviera guests. During pool stage performances, guests from other properties are encouraged to enjoy the Rancho Grande buffet, just a few steps away. 

Minors are more than welcome to join the Pool Stage events — a waiver will be required in advance. More info to come, closer to GJWW8. 

We can’t WAIT for you to see the new Pool Stage… See you there?! 🤘

We’ve set ambitious targets to reduce 100x Hospitality's carbon footprint year over year while giving back to the local community via varying donations, grants and impact funding.

In addition to several large-scale prevention strategies, we maintain a number of exciting greening initiatives within our concert venue, including a single-use plastic-free concert area. Compostable plates, cups, cutlery and napkins are utilized for food & beverages, and all trash in the venue is sorted post-event and diverted from landfill. Water Refill stations are made available to reduce the need for plastic water bottles.

As part of our commitment to responsible event production, $5 per person supports the 100x Responsibility Fund—our fiscally sponsored, independently run charitable initiative. These funds allow us to collectively take real action to mitigate the impact of our events—investing in local communities that host us, supporting sustainability efforts, mental health initiatives, and artists’ chosen causes. It’s a step toward doing better—for the places we visit, the people we serve, and the future of live experiences.
