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. ❤️💚💙
