KAABOO was sold out, just three days after Sunday's announcement that the festival had entered into a multi-year partnership with the San Diego Padres and the event was renamed from KAABOO Del Mar to KAABOO San Diego.

Virgin Fest, the arm of the World Music Festival "Richard Branson", has acquired all of the assets of the "KAABOO Festival" brand from the co-founders of "Cabo", "Brian E. Gordon" and "Seth Volkov". Gordon Wolkoff is, respectively, the president and president of Madison Companies, LLC, a privately held investment holding company based in Denver. They launched KAABOO, an exclusive festival of music, comedy, art and gastronomy, in 2015 at the Del Mar race circuit and in the adjacent exhibition grounds.

The final version of the three-day KAABOO Del Mar Festival concluded on Sunday with the participation of Dave Matthews Band, Kings of Leon, Mumford and Sons. This year's edition celebrated the second year in a row that the event was pre-sold, with more than 35,000 attending during the three days.

However, in a statement released on Wednesday morning, Felts remembered attending the first edition of KAABOO five years ago.

"As it (was) the inaugural year of Cabo, attendance was low, but it was very clear to me that the vision was truly unique," he said in a written statement.

“It was also evident that KAABOO shared the Virgin Ideas approach with customer service, while offering a unique, differentiated, and multi-sensory product. ... On this basis, we invested and supported this vision for the first time in 2016. We look forward to the future of the KAABOO brand and its experiences In the festival under our ownership.

“When we reached an agreement with KAABOO, we understood that they were completing the transfer of business to Virgin Fest, so we knew that at the time. We are very excited to work with Jason and Virgin Fest and the same group of people who have been running KAABOO for some time.”

The sale comes after a year of growth and contraction for KAABOO, which this year presented two new festivals, KAABOO Cayman in March and KABOO Texas in May.
