According to Mexican news outlets, earlier today Cancun, Quintana Roo declared Emergency Code Red after an attack by armed men on the Attorney General and the Control, Command, Computing, and Communications Center (C4) at Av. Xcaret, in downtown Cancun, Quintana Roo took place.
See video of the shooting standoff at the federal center.
Additionally, the hotel zone of Cancun and the exit to Playa del Carmen are closed to traffic.
Early Tuesday, the Zetas cartel claimed responsibility for the Blue Parrot killings with these statements:
In Playa Del Carmen:
âThis is to show that we are here. It was for not paying, Phillip BPM. This is the beginning. We will cut the heads off Golfos, Peloness and Chapulines.” Signed The Old Fayo Z(etas).
In Cancun:
“Heads will roll if you don’t pay up. This is just the beginning. We’re coming for you Golfos y Pelones. Authorities, don’t get involved! BPM, be on your toes bitches, we’re coming in strong to recover the plaza.” signed Fayo y El Indio Zeta Vieja Escuela”

Beach Vibes Festival In Tulum Cancelled
In an update on their website, Beach Vibes Festival communicated the cancellation of the event which was supposed to take place from January 27th through January 29th on a Tulum beach in Mexicoâs Riviera Maya. Artists on the bill included event organizers LCD Soundsystem Hot Chip, Carl Craig, DJ Harvey, The Black Madonna, and others.
In a statement posted on the festivalâs website, organizers said, âThe event was not coming together in the way that it was envisioned, and all parties have agreed that putting on an event that is less than 100% would be a disservice to the fans and bands alike.â They also reassured that, âFans who purchased all-inclusive packages will be refunded in full, including related airfare expensesâ
We reported back in May that Tulum city officials had decided to ban rave parties in the village so that guests can continue to enjoy their stay without being bothered by city noise such as those created by raves and parties. Although no information on specifics is known yet, the cancellation leaves us to wonder if Beach Vibesâ cancellation has anything to do with regulation roadblocks. We will update our readers when more information is made available.
Where Is The Next Ibiza?
I’ve said it before, and I will say it again: Ibiza is changing – and if anyone tells you otherwise they have either not seen it with their own eyes or are simply lying to you.
In recent months we have seen local officials closing down beach parties, imposing 6:30am club curfews and admitting that the island cannot take in much more tourism due to depleted natural and local resources. And let’s not forget the imminent end of the legendary Space Ibiza (with ENTER and Carl Cox’s Music Is Revolution both leaving the island), the rise of VIP-centered UshuaĂŻa as well as the increasing prevalence of commercial dance music throughout the Balearic island. On top of that, a recent criminal investigation by local authorities has resulted in raids at Amnesia, Space and Privilege, with four men arrested, including the owner of Amnesia and his son.
Things are changing, and Ibiza is no longer the same Ibiza of 5, 10 or 15 years ago, and while progress is natural, a large portion of dance music fans are now looking for less-regulated new destinations to freely enjoy the underground sounds of their favorite artists. Below are our top picks for the “next Ibiza” – destinations that have been and continue to be more and more popular for those seeking to party while on vacation.
Tulum Says “No” to Rave Parties

Riviera Maya News has reported that Tulum officials have decided to ban rave parties in the otherwise quiet fishing village. According to the news, Roberto Palazuelos Badeux, president of the AsociaciĂłn de Hoteles of Tulum, has stated, “There will be no more rave parties because they bring many negative things such as a large generation of vehicular traffic. Also, such events are held all night and into the early morning, ending at 9:00 a.m. or 10 a.m.â
He went on to precise that the aim of this change is to continue creating an atmosphere in Tulum where guests can continue to enjoy their stay without being bothered by city noise such as those created by raves and parties.
This will have a particular negative effects for those making their ways to the area during BPM Festival week. While the festival itself concentrates on doing parties in Playa del Carmen, individual labels, artists and parties have been holding their own events in nearby Tulum for several years now. The most talked about of these, Day Zero by Damian Lazarus, drew in incredible praise by industry and music fans alike as one of the best parties of the entire calendar year.
