June 6th, 2012 - We’re extremely happy to announce that Gov’t Mule’s Island Exodus III will once again be taking place at the Breezes Grand Resort in Negril, Jamaica January 13th-17th (4 nights) 2012. Everyone who joined us this past January knows this is a can’t miss event...it truly was a magical experience. Days were spent on the beach or enjoying all of the activities the resort has to offer and nights were spent under the stars with Gov’t Mule.
Like last year, as part of the 4 night package, The Mule will play 3 shows and Warren will play a solo acoustic show. We will also be bringing down a couple guest musicians that we will be announcing shortly. Activities such as the Poster Signing, the Golf Outing and Matt Abts’ Drum Clinic, all big fan favorites, will also return alongside new activities to be announced shortly.

Also available this year are rooms at the Fun Holiday Beach Resort. Guests staying at Fun Holiday Beach will be entitled to concert only passes at Breezes Grand during the nights of the shows, as well as transportation to and from the shows. While at Breezes you will have open bar and food. Fun Holiday is a small, budget property located on Negril's stunning 7-mile beach.

If you are a Gov't Mule fan you will not want to miss Gov't Mule's Island Exodus III. You get to see and hear your band up close and personal in one of the most unique venues in the Caribbean: Negril, Jamaica. Island Gigs has teamed up with Gov't Mule and is hosting the event at the Breezes Negril Resort and Spa. This 5 star all-inclusive resort pampers you with every possible amenity. Breezes Grand Negril is the flagship of the Breezes fleet of Super-Inclusive resorts and commands an impressive stretch of Negril's breathtaking beach.
During the daytime the unbelievable beach invites lovers of water sports to windsurf, scuba dive, sail a sunfish or simply do nothing at all! At night you'll watch Gov't Mule perform their classic shows right on the beach, under the stars and moonlight. You will also be able to wet your appetite in one of the 6 classic restaurants offering French, Italian, Jamaican cuisine, continental menus, plus breakfast and luncheon buffets galore. From great live music and top shelf booze to all the meals, snacks, watersports, it will be a concert you'll never forget!
At Island Gigs, we live by the mentality, “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem!” In 1987, we brought our first travelers to Negril. Back then, it was a sleepy fishing village and it’s never been the same since. Now one the hottest destinations in the Caribbean, the seven-mile beach offers laid back charm for people looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Uncover Negril’s best kept secret, five miles of winding coral cliffs. Spend a free day cliff-diving, snorkeling and exploring underground caves at places like Rick’s Cafe and The Rock House. Then, be ready for one of the most impressive sunsets you’ve experienced as you kick back with a Jamaican rum punch and watch the sky turn pink before it falls dark. The magic of Negril is that it still keeps its laid back charm after all these years.
Geography
Jamaica is the third largest island in the Caribbean and is located about 90 miles south of Cuba and a 1 1/2 hour plane ride from Miami, Florida. It is about the size of Long Island, New York stretching for over 146 miles from east to west and 51 miles from north to south. As a small country it really has it all: beaches, mountains, forests, rivers, mangroves and cities. Negril is 47 miles away from the airport on the Western tip of Jamaica.
Weather
Jamaica enjoys a year round warm climate with daytime temps in the mid-80's to low 90's. Evenings are generally cooler and comfortable with temperature’s in low 70’s. The sun is extremely strong and protection is highly recommended. The rainy season is in May and October. During January through April you will rarely encounter bad weather. Dress is very casual, so pack lightly!
Time Zone
Jamaica is in the eastern time zone but does not participate in day light savings.
Language
English is the official language in Jamaica. Although everyone speaks and understands English, Jamaicans speak a dialect known as "Patois," a creolized or abridged version of English which might be hard to understand to most first time visitors. Most Jamaicans will be happy to teach the average tourist a thing or two about "speaking Patois." Not to worry though. There really is no language barrier in Jamaica.
Money
The Jamaican dollar is the only legal tender, though prices are often quoted in US dollars, which are widely accepted. The current rate is about $ J90 = $ 1US dollar. Hard cash can be used but your best bet is to have US dollar traveler's checks. All major brands of traveler's checks and credit cards are accepted in Jamaica. You can exchange money at banks, licensed exchange bureaus (called Cambio’s) or hotels, though the rate at hotels is usually 2% to 5% below the bank rate. Do not exchange all of your money when you get to Jamaica. It’s best to exchange it as needed; you will lose money converting Jamaican dollars back to U.S. dollars when you depart Jamaica. Plenty of Jamaicans will approach you to change Jamaican dollars on the black market. This is illegal and the black market rate is usually only 5% better than the bank rate so why risk falling for a scam. Most restaurants and shops accept major credit cards. There are a few ATM machines available, but they run out of cash on the busier weeks.
What Should I bring with me?
If there are two words we use most often when asked this question, they are "pack lightly!" We like to remind people that they are only going for 1 week so pack appropriately. Remember, it is a tropical climate so there is no need for lots of warm clothing. Some important things not to forget: Important prescriptions, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellant, extra batteries and a camera. Leave anything valuable such as expensive jewelry or accessories at home. You won't need them in Jamaica, so why risk losing them? Also, a reminder is to pack important stuff like passport, camera, prescriptions with you so you have it on the plane close at hand. If you do forget something you can always find almost anything you need on location.
Dress Code
Jamaica and especially Negril, doesn't really have a dress code. The laid back attitude also extends to what you want to wear at night. Shorts and a t-shirt is just fine! And the only reason we would recommend shoes is to protect your feet!
Electricity
You can bring a hair dryer or I-pod and it will work the same as in the US. There is no need for any special adaptors. The outlets are the same.
Calling the States
There are a few ways to call home to the States while you are on vacation. Most hotels charge a service fee of around to connect you to the operator. Another way is to call your cell phone provider and get a world plan or specific plan for Jamaica. Even then though, you’ll pay at least $2.00 a minute
Transportation
There is limited public transportation in Jamaica so most visitors rely on local taxis or mini buses for transportation. If you need a taxi, just ask the hotel to call you one. Only vehicles bearing a red license plate are official taxis. The official taxi guarantees an insured, licensed cab and driver. Everything is negotiable in Jamaica, Taxis are no exception. Negotiate a price to your destination before you get into a cab. There are no metered cabs, and the driver sets the rate. Keep in mind that rates are higher late at night and for fewer people.
Documentation
U.S citizens must carry proper proof of citizenship. Starting January 1, 2007 all U.S citizens traveling to and from the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe and Canada will be required to have a valid passport to enter or re-enter the United States. Non-U.S citizens should contact their consulate for proper I.D. requirements. Passengers who are denied boarding or entry for improper documentation will receive no refund. You should carry all important documents with you.
