YÄCHTLEY CRËW “Seas The Night” World TourComing to Castle Knoll Amphitheater

ByLocal Sources Reading Time: 3 minutes

Castle Knoll Amphitheater announced YÄCHTLEY CRËW, the nation’s number one Yacht Rock band, will open the venue’s third concert season on Saturday, May 9, 2026, bringing their wildly popular “Seas The Night” World Tour to the Historic Hillside at Castle Knoll Farms & Amphitheater in French Lick / Paoli, Indiana.

Known as “The Titans of Soft Rock,” YÄCHTLEY CRËW has become a nationwide phenomenon, reviving the smooth sounds and carefree vibes of late-’70s and early-’80s Yacht Rock. The seven-piece Southern California band burst onto the scene in 2017, quickly selling out clubs across the country before catching the attention of the late Jimmy Buffett, who signed the band to his Mailboat Records label before their current deal with Earache Records / Universal Music Group.

“We couldn’t think of a better way to kick off our third season at Castle Knoll,” said Heath Eric, CEO of The Eric Group and promoter of the venue. “Yächtley Crëw delivers a fun, feel-good, sing-along experience that brings people together in the best possible way. Their shows are immersive, high-energy, and pure joy. This is the kind of night that defines what Castle Knoll is all about – unforgettable music, a beautiful setting, and memories made under the Southern Indiana stars.”

A special ticket presale runs Tuesday, December 16, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. ET. Fans can receive the presale password by signing up for the Castle Knoll Amphitheater email newsletter at CKAMP.com. Tickets go on sale to the general public (no password required) on Wednesday, December 17, at 9:00 a.m. ET.

“Castle Knoll Amphitheater was built for nights like this,” said Audrey Brames, Director of Marketing at Big Splash Adventure and part of the Castle Knoll ownership team. “Yächtley Crëw’s music creates an instant connection. We envision friends laughing, dancing, and singing together on the hillside. It’s the perfect blend of world-class entertainment and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that keeps fans coming back year after year.”

YÄCHTLEY CRËW’s exhilarating live shows feature fan-favorite Yacht Rock classics, including Toto’s “Africa,” Christopher Cross’ “Ride Like the Wind,” Looking Glass’ “Brandy,” Rupert Holmes’ “Escape (The Piña Colada Song),” and more. Their 2023 EP Seas the Day includes standout covers such as “Lido Shuffle,” “How Long,” “Steal Away,” and “How Deep Is Your Love,” along with the band’s first original song, “Sex on the Beach,” produced and mixed by Grammy Award-winner Chris Lord-Alge.

The band has appeared on HBO’s Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary, Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, SiriusXM Yacht Rock Radio, and numerous national television and radio programs. Yachtley Crew recently released their holiday EP Seas and Greetings, featuring the Billboard-charting single “It’s Christmastime,” and they are currently working on a forthcoming album set for release in 2025.
