Back To The Island
Apr 24, 2025 | Hanson
Since it began in 2013 Back To The Island has grown from a crazy idea, to an annual gathering for fans from all over the world, creating a treasure trove of great memories. Back To The Island is unlike anything else we do, and this unique event also requires a unique venue as host.
As most of the BTTI 2025 attendees know, Jewel Paradise Cove is under renovation, and will reopen in 2027. The search is underway for a new location, but with limited time to find a resort that we are confident can fully serve all of the unique elements of BTTI, we have decided that taking a break in 2026 is the best way to serve this important gathering's future.
A huge thank you to everyone who has made the trip to the island, from the first timers to the every-timers, you are the heart of this amazing event. We look forward to what comes next, and to inviting you Back To The Island in the future.
We love hosting BTTI and we’re grateful to the awesome team at Island Gigs that help us host it.
Thanks for joining us on the Island,
Isaac, Taylor and Zac

Sad, but not unexpected. I'm glad to hear it sounds like the plan is to bring BTTI back in the future (hopefully 2027!). I hope Island Gigs has success with finding a good fit.

A wonderful time on the island in paradise for certain. Hopefully one day I’ll attend before I’m in my 40ish love you guys. Good for you for taking a break I’m sure it’s much needed. ❤️💚💙

Sad, but not surprised. Thank you for letting us know. I’m glad there is at least a glimmer of hope for the future of BTTI. Fingers crossed they can find a suitable resort for the future 🤞🏻

Glad we finally got our confirmation, and while I'm sad 2026 won't happen, I'm hopeful for 2027. Hope there's a suitable resort ready for us by then, and yeah, looking forward to booking it as soon as we get closer to it!

Still a Bucket List item for me, but I’m sure everyone can take a deep breath now that they’ve gotten an update! 😅

I'll never be able to afford BTTI (or be away from my family for that long lol), but I feel so sorry for all of those who were planning on going. I hope y'all are able to find a new venue for 2027.

So disappointing, but completely understandable. I hope the guys enjoy taking the time off and get some much-needed R&R.
Have you ever considered Hawai'i? There are some fabulous locations there and this would make the trip much more accessible for fans from Japan, Thailand, etc.

As someone who grew up helping her Dad run sound and set up stages I've seen bands that rush and throw everything together last minute and bands that obviously care and put time and effort into their work. I attended BTTI this year for the first time ever and met the guys for the first time ever. It's obvious how much you guys care and want to provide something to fans that is unique and special. While it may be disappointing to wait for some, it'll be worth it in the end! Thank you for taking the time to care so that you can continue to give us this experience!
