Gryffin joins Palm Tree Music Festival's two-day return to the West Palm Beach waterfront

Last February, a new festival set up on the West Palm Beach waterfront, sold out early and left thousands of people on a waitlist. This February it comes back with twice as many days, and one of the names that just joined the bill is Gryffin.

Gryffin plays WPB Waterfront Landing on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2027, at 7 p.m., as part of the second Palm Tree Music Festival in West Palm Beach. The festival runs Feb. 6 and 7 at the waterfront site on South Flagler Drive. It's the first time the West Palm Beach edition has stretched to two days, and Gryffin's date was announced Oct. 23.

The bill is stacked at the top. CBS12 reports The Chainsmokers, FISHER, Zedd, Cloonee, Bob Moses, Dombresky, Twinsick, AR/CO, Arden Jones, Jay Pryor, Brooke Brazelton, Chase Creighton and Lucy Guo, with Gryffin billed as a special guest. Haute Living goes further and puts him among the confirmed headliners, alongside The Chainsmokers, FISHER and Zedd, with more artists still to come. Either way, he's one of the reasons to buy a Sunday ticket.

For local fans, the scale is what stands out. Gryffin's usual headline room is about 3,000 people, the size of a big club or a small theater. The waterfront festival is much bigger: the first edition drew 11,000 people, and there was still a waitlist after it sold out. That's a chance to hear his pop-and-EDM sets outdoors on the waterfront, with a festival-sized sound system, instead of packing into a room. Even with special-guest billing, he's likely to play to far more people that Sunday than at one of his own headline shows.

The festival itself started in Australia, and its West Palm Beach edition worked right away. Selling out a debut event and then doubling it a year later is a strong signal in a tough climate for festivals, and it says something about how much Palm Beach County wants big dance-music nights at home. A Sunday-night slot on a two-day weekend is also a good spot: by then the crowd knows the site, and the last night of a festival usually carries the most energy.

Lineups this size leave details to be worked out, and more artists are still to be announced. Our listing has Gryffin on the Sunday at 7 p.m.; treat that as the day to plan around and watch for the full schedule closer to February.

Last year it sold out with a waitlist. This year it's two days and a bigger bill.

Ticket demand is the real question. With the debut edition selling out early and a waitlist in the thousands, the two-day format is the festival's answer to that demand, and it's no guarantee tickets will last into the new year. If Gryffin is your reason to go, decide early whether you want just Sunday or the whole weekend, and keep an eye on the festival's announcements.

For one weekend in February, some of the biggest names in dance music come to Flagler Drive. Bring a light jacket for Sunday night by the water.
