Live Fest is coming back to Naples in 2025, and it promises an evening filled with big-name music and a first-class setting. On Saturday, December 13, the driving range at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Tiburón, will transform into a concert venue featuring performances by Darius Rucker, Russell Dickerson, O.A.R., and Rock Republic.
Guests can choose from general admission tickets, premium VIP options, or combo passes that pair golf with live music. With food and beverage on-site, exclusive hospitality suites, and unique experiences like the Ultra VIP lounge, Live Fest 2025 offers more than just a concert — it delivers a full-scale event that reflects the upscale lifestyle Naples is known for.
General Admission Access
General admission tickets are priced at $150 and include entry to the concert grounds. These tickets provide access to the driving range area, where the stage will be set up for the performances. Food and beverage options are available on-site, and guests are encouraged to explore multiple stations throughout the evening. Seating is not provided, so attendees often bring comfort items to enjoy the music.
Children are welcome in general admission. Each adult ticket allows up to two children under 10 to enter at no extra charge. This policy makes general admission an accessible choice for those attending with younger guests while still enjoying the energy of a large outdoor concert.

VIP Experiences: Stage Front Viewing
For those looking for a closer connection to the performances, the Stage Front Viewing option offers an upgraded experience at $355 per ticket. This package provides access to a premium viewing area directly in front of the stage, creating an intimate environment with unreserved seating.
Stage Front ticket holders also benefit from amenities such as a dedicated entrance, VIP-only concession areas, and private restroom facilities. This ensures a more seamless experience, reducing time spent in lines and allowing guests to focus on the entertainment.

All-Inclusive VIP Suite
The All-Inclusive VIP Suite package, priced at $675, includes entry to an exclusive shared hospitality space with prime viewing of the stage. Guests in this suite enjoy a curated food menu, an open bar, and access to private restrooms. The package also includes one valet parking pass per order, redeemable at The Ritz-Carlton Naples, Tiburón.
This VIP option is designed for those who want a balance of comfort, service, and premium viewing. The suite environment also allows socializing with other guests in a more controlled setting, making it ideal for networking or attending as part of a group.

Ultra VIP Viewing Experience
The Ultra VIP Viewing Experience is the highest-tier option at $1,400 per ticket. Limited to only 125 guests, this package grants access to a double-decker lounge adjacent to the stage. Guests can enjoy both elevated and ground-level views, as well as exclusive access to the Live Pit.
The Ultra VIP package includes gourmet food offerings, an open bar, private restrooms, and valet parking. The exclusivity of this experience, combined with proximity to the stage, makes it one of the most sought-after ways to enjoy Live Fest.

Combo Ticket with Golf and Music
Live Fest offers a unique combo ticket that combines access to the Saturday Grant Thornton Invitational with admission to the concert. Prices range from $195 to $465, depending on the level selected. A 10% discount applies to the Grant Thornton Invitational ticket when purchased as part of the combo.
This option appeals to golf enthusiasts who want to spend the day watching tournament play before transitioning directly into an evening of live music. Like general admission, combo tickets allow children under 10 to attend the concert at no charge when accompanied by a ticketed adult, though this does not extend to VIP categories.

Food, Beverages, and On-Site Hospitality
Food and beverage purchases are essential to the Live Fest experience. Multiple concession points offer a range of dining options, and beverages are available throughout the venue. VIP ticket holders enjoy included food and open bar service, while general admission guests can select from available menus.
The event’s partnership with The Ritz-Carlton Tiburón ensures higher service and hospitality than standard outdoor concerts. This makes the experience consistent with Naples’ reputation as a destination for upscale events.

Planning for Live Fest 2025
Tickets for Live Fest are expected to sell quickly, given the limited number of VIP options and the popularity of the performers. Guests are encouraged to secure their tickets early, especially considering packages that include valet parking or reserved hospitality areas. For those traveling to Naples, aligning concert attendance with a stay at The Ritz-Carlton Tiburón creates a seamless experience.
The timing of Live Fest in December adds to its appeal, as it coincides with peak season in Naples. Planning allows guests to take advantage of other opportunities, such as visiting Fifth Avenue South or experiencing the launch of Prime Social Naples later in the year.
