About Radical | Incendia
Radical | Incendia is a new open-air music and events venue in Tulum’s jungle zone (a few minutes’ drive from downtown) (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.tulum.party). The name combines Radical Productions and “Incendia” (Latin-rooted for fire) – literally “Radical Fire” (www.vybeful.com). The club stands out as a theatrical, immersive experience where tribal-infused electronic music, live fire performances and art converge (www.vybeful.com) (www.vybeful.com). Its architecture blends with the coast – built with natural wood, draped fabrics and tiki torches – so the stage overlooks the Caribbean Sea for a dramatic jungle‐by‐the‐ocean vibe (www.vybeful.com). As one guide noted, it’s not just about dancing; it celebrates “life, art, and nature” with fire dancers, percussion and pyrotechnics (www.vybeful.com) (www.vybeful.com).
Events and Programming
Radical | Incendia primarily hosts electronic music events: techno, deep house and world‐influenced dance sets. Its inaugural party was a Flying Circus New Year’s Eve on Dec 31, 2022 (www.ticketfairy.com), and in early 2023 it featured international acts like Booka Shade (live on Jan 5, 2023) and Giorgia Angiuli (live on Jan 21, 2023) (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). Promoters book both night and day parties – for example a “Born in Mexico” label showcase (Jan 2023) that ran day and night with fireworks and Mexican acts (ra.co) (www.ticketfairy.com). Events typically occur on weekends during peak season (late fall through spring), often multiple times per week. Lineups include a mix of local and international DJs, live electronic acts, percussionists or violinists for a tribal feel, plus occasional guest performers. Recurring themed nights (full-moon parties, label showcases) and extended marathon sets are common. Typical show times start around 10–11PM and run to dawn, with “sunrise” or after-party tickets (sometimes called “Morning Fun” 4–10AM) offered at reduced rates (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com).
Tickets and Booking
Tickets are sold online through the venue’s promoters (often via specialized platforms) well before each event. Fans should watch local promoters’ announcements or the Radical Productions channels for presale announcements. Prices vary by act, but general admission usually runs roughly MXN 1,200–2,500 (about US$60–125) (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com). Early-bird (advance sale) tickets tend to be cheaper and can sell out fast for big nights. VIP and table packages are available and much pricier: for example, one New Year’s package offered a four-person GA table (including a bottle) for ~MXN 30,000 (www.ticketfairy.com). VIP passes (which include buffer space and service) often start around MXN 2,500 and up (www.ticketfairy.com). Some events sell “local” tickets at a reduced rate (e.g. MXN 1,200) for Mexican ID holders (www.ticketfairy.com), so carrying ID is important. Doors typically open late (around 10PM), and popular parties often sell out weeks in advance. If an event hasn’t sold out online, a very limited number of tickets may go on sale at the door (usually at a higher price), but reliable access is via advance purchase.
Seating and Layout
The venue is primarily a large open dance floor around a central stage. There are no fixed seats – everyone is free to stand and dance on the sand or wood floor. Several VIP and lounge areas are arranged around the main pit. Notably, the club has specialty “dome” lounges and tables. For instance, one ticket option was an “Incendia Big Dome” seating up to ~12 guests (www.tulum.party). Other premium tables (sometimes labeled “Next to the DJ” or “Behind the DJ”) seat about 12–15 people each and come with bottle service (www.tulum.party). These VIP spots provide direct sightlines and serve groups, while GA remains general entry. In general, the best overall view is the floor facing the stage; the loudest sound is around the stage speakers. The venue’s open-air acoustics are configured for club music, but sound levels can be very high at the front. Visitors often choose where to stand based on preference (closer for energy and visuals, farther back for room to dance). As a mostly standing-room layout, height or seat-quality aren’t factors, but angled vantage points (like on a raised DJ stage or under the dome) can offer unique perspectives.
Getting There and Parking
Radical | Incendia is located in the jungle area just outside Tulum town. According to event info, it’s about 3–5 minutes by car from La Veleta and Tulum Pueblo (downtown) (www.tulum.party) (www.ticketfairy.com). The exact street address isn’t publicized, as it’s a semi-private site. The quickest way to reach it is by taxi or rideshare (e.g. Didi) from Tulum town center or the ADO bus station. There’s no city bus or metro to the club. Most visitors drive or take a taxi: a ride from downtown Tulum should cost around MXN 50–100.
Onsite parking is available for guests but at a fee. For example, one booking page listed parking rates of about MXN 400 per car, MXN 500 per SUV and MXN 200 per motorcycle (www.ticketfairy.com). Pay these rates at the gate on arrival (cash or local payment). Parking can fill up on big nights, so carpooling or arriving early is advised. There are no formal rideshare drop-off zones inspected, but drivers generally drop off at the venue entrance off the jungle road. Note that after-parties end in the early morning when fewer taxis roam, so pre-arrange a return or use respected taxi services.
Inside the Venue
Entering Radical | Incendia feels like stepping into a festival space. There is standard event security (bag checks and ID verification – IDs are checked especially if local-rate tickets were used (www.ticketfairy.com)). The décor is jungle-themed: ambient torch lighting, tribal art installations and live fire performers often roam. There are covered bars serving drinks (many feature mezcal, tequila and tropical cocktail recipes (www.vybeful.com)). Food trucks or stalls may sell simple snacks or regional tacos (reflecting the Mayan-inspired menu concept (www.vybeful.com)), but dining is limited – it’s mainly a drink-and-dance environment. Restrooms are on site (often portable toilets or rustic bathrooms); expect lines at peak times. Lights are usually dim until the show – then theatrical lighting and pyrotechnics fire up the night around the stage and flow arts performers. Some events offer a coat/bag check area, but check ahead (this is a warm-climate club, so heavy coats are not needed). There is no official Wi-Fi, so phone signal depends on local coverage; most rely on cellular data. Keep belongings secure and your phone charged (especially for taxi apps later). Note also that cameras and recording bans depend on the event – in general, small personal cameras may be allowed, but large professional gear would be prohibited without press approval. In short, expect a rugged, eco‐friendly feel: barefoot or flip-flops are common, but watch your step on any wood or sandy flooring.
Nearby Amenities
Because Radical | Incendia is outside town, most pre-show dining or after-party bars are back in Tulum’s Pueblo (downtown) or Beach Zone. If you’re arriving early, Tulum town (10-15 min drive away) has numerous restaurants and bars for a meal or drinks. Popular nearby eats include boat-to-table seafood spots and trendy Mexican restaurants. For example, the centrally located La Popular (for coffee and light fare) or Posada Margherita on the beach (for Italian-style dinners) are favorite pre-party options. Bars like La Mala or Batey Social Club (live music venues downtown) are good for cocktails before heading to the club.
In the hotel zone (along Tulum’s beach road, a 5–10 min drive), there are upscale beach clubs and lounges (Gitano, Casa Jaguar, Arca) that diners often visit earlier in the night. These areas also have higher-end restaurants (e.g. Arca serves modern Mexican cuisine) if you want a fine dining experience before the show. For overnight stays, there are hotels and hostels both downtown and on the beach; the beachside resorts (like Ahau, Papaya Playa Project or La Zebra) are popular with clubgoers and lie within a 10–15 minute drive. Closer to the venue itself (the “jungle” area), lodging is mostly jungle cabins and Airbnb stays. It’s wise to book nearby accommodations in advance when attending an event, especially during high season.
What Makes This Venue Special
Radical | Incendia has quickly earned a reputation as one of Tulum’s most original clubs. Its setting – an open-air stage framed by jungle and Caribbean – gives every party a unique, cinematic feel. Unlike enclosed bars, here the ocean breeze and starry sky become part of the show. The use of fire is literal: fire dancers, flame wheels and pyrotechnic displays are regular highlights (www.vybeful.com), aligning with the venue’s “fire” identity. Musically and visually it leans into Tulum’s bohemian spirit – you might see drum circles, live-handpan sessions or indigenous percussion complementing electronic beats (www.vybeful.com). The club also stands out for its creative design: geodesic “dome” structures and art installations are integrated into the layout, reinforcing an enchanted-forest atmosphere (www.tulum.party) (www.tulum.party). Sustainability is another draw – the venue emphasizes eco-friendliness, using locally sourced materials and even organizing beach clean-ups (reflecting Tulum’s clean-energy ethos) (www.vybeful.com). Overall, it’s called “not just a club but a movement” (www.vybeful.com) in local media: a place where art, music and nature fuse. For artists and dancers alike, the combination of an intimate jungle stage, fire artistry and an attentive, like-minded crowd creates a powerful, memorable experience. Its launch events (NYE 2022, label showcases) were quickly dubbed “some of Tulum’s best parties,” testifying to the venue’s appeal in the local scene.
Visitor Tips and Information
Age/ID: All events are 18+ (no minors). Bring valid ID or passport, as age verification is strict – and local ID if you bought discounted local tickets (www.ticketfairy.com).
Arrival: Concert-style timing means doors open late (generally after 10PM). Arrive early to beat traffic and secure parking. If driving, note conditions: the road can be dark after hours, so drive carefully.
What to wear: Tulum style is casual/boho-chic. Women often wear light dresses or festival attire; men in shorts or linen pants. Comfortable shoes (or even barefoot/dance socks) are fine, as you’ll be on sand or wood flooring. It can get hot and humid dancing, so lightweight fabrics are best.
Bags and cameras: Small bags or pouches are allowed, but expect security checks. Flash photography might be discouraged during performances. Generally, phone cameras are okay for memories, but professional cameras are not (unless given media clearance).
What to bring: Cash in pesos (some vendors/bar may not take foreign cards). A portable phone charger is wise (events go late). Earplugs can help with loud music. Sunscreen and a hat for day events or if you’re hanging near entrances in daylight.
Cheers and drinks: Tipping in pesos to bartenders or servers is appreciated. The club serves cocktails and bottled drinks – avoid outside alcohol (prohibited).
Health & Safety: Stay hydrated (water is usually for sale or provided). Note there’s no cover for rain – if a storm comes, you’ll get wet under the open palms, so plan accordingly. Also secure your belongings – while Tulum is generally safe, large crowds and dim lighting call for usual precautions.
Common Mistakes: Don’t assume you can walk home or hail an Uber at 4AM; pre-arrange returns or use a taxi/rideshare earlier. Ticket availability can change; always confirm event details and timings with official sources before traveling. Finally, remember that part of the Incendia ethos is respect for nature – please use trash bins and follow any eco-friendly rules (like avoiding single-use plastics) while you enjoy the night.

How can I buy tickets and how much do they cost?
Tickets are sold through the club’s official channels (online presales via promoters). Prices vary by event: typical general-admission tickets range from around MXN 1,200 to MXN 2,500 (~US$60–125) depending on the artist and demand (www.ticketfairy.com) (www.ticketfairy.com).

VIP tables and bottle-service packages cost much more (often tens of thousands MXN) and include reserved seating and drinks. Always buy advance tickets early for popular shows.
Is there a local or ID-based discount for tickets?
Yes. Some events offer a lower “Local” price for Mexican residents (or those with Mexican ID). For example, a past listing showed a local rate of MXN 1,200 requiring ID at the door (www.ticketfairy.com). To get a local discount, bring a valid local ID or passport. Without it, you’d pay the standard (higher) ticket price. Always check the event details for any local ID requirements.
Can I buy tickets at the door?
Door tickets are not guaranteed. Most nights sell primarily online; if some tickets remain, a limited number may be available for purchase at the door (usually at higher prices). For high-demand events, it’s safest to purchase tickets before the night of the show. If you plan on buying at the door, arrive early and expect a line at opening time.

Radical | Incendia is mostly standing-room. The central area is a dancefloor facing the stage. There are no fixed seats for general admission. VIP sections have tables or shaded lounges. Notably, the venue includes geodesic dome lounges and private tables: for instance, one option was a “Big Dome” seating ~12 people (www.tulum.party). Premium tables (like “Next to the DJ” or “Behind the DJ” areas) hold about 12–15 people each and come with bottle service (www.tulum.party). These give a direct view of the stage. Outside of VIP areas, everyone else dances on the open floor under the stars.
Is there parking at Radical | Incendia?
Yes, the club has an onsite parking lot with paid parking. According to ticket listings, fees are roughly MXN 400 per regular car, MXN 500 per SUV and MXN 200 per motorcycle (www.ticketfairy.com). Pay the parking fee at the entrance when you arrive. Note that spaces may fill up for sold-out events, so carpools or ride apps are recommended to avoid parking shortages.
What are the public transport options to get there?
Public transit in Tulum is limited. There is no subway; local buses (“colectivos”) run mainly along Highway 307 and might stop in La Veleta. However, the easiest way to get to the venue is taxi or rideshare. From Tulum’s ADO bus terminal or downtown, take a taxi or the local app (e.g. Didi) for a short 5-minute drive (www.tulum.party). There are no official bus routes servicing the club directly. Plan to pay around MXN 50–100 for a taxi from downtown. Also consider pre-booking a ride home for after the event, as late-night taxis can be scarce.
Is Radical | Incendia wheelchair accessible?
This venue is an open jungle club, so accessibility may be limited. Paths and floors are a mix of sand and wood, and there may not be ramps to all areas. If you have mobility needs, it’s best to contact the organizers in advance to inquire. In many cases, large areas of the dancefloor and stage may not be easily reachable by wheelchair. Those with limited mobility should plan accordingly (e.g. ride close to the entrance, avoid uneven areas).
What are the venue policies (bags, cameras, dress code)?
Standard nightclub policies apply. Large bags or backpacks may be checked. No outside alcohol or large containers are allowed. Dress code is very casual/bohemian – beach-style attire is common, but avoid overly dirty clothes. No formal dress code, but street clothes are expected. Cameras: small personal cameras and phones are usually allowed for photos, but professional DSLR cameras and video equipment are typically banned. Check policy on any prohibited items (open flames, etc.), especially since live fire acts are on stage. Finally, 18+ only (with ID check) and holders of local tickets need a Mexican ID at entry (www.ticketfairy.com).
Are food, drinks, and restrooms available?
Yes. The venue has full bar service offering cocktails, beer and spirits (with local mezcal highlights (www.vybeful.com)). Some light snacks or tacos may be sold by vendors on site. Expect a limited food menu, often reflecting Mayan-inspired dishes (www.vybeful.com). There are restrooms on site (often portable toilets), so plan for lines during big crowds. No coat check is typically needed (it’s warm). The setting is rustic-chic: don’t expect lounge furniture everywhere, but basic amenities are provided. Both cash and cards are usually accepted at bars.
When should I arrive, and what should I bring?
Arrive early at event time (often 10–11PM) to avoid long lines and ensure parking. Bring your ticket (printed or on mobile), ID (for age check), and some pesos. It’s wise to carry minimal belongings: a small bag or pouch. Comfortable footwear (or bring a small towel to stand on if barefoot). A portable charger for your phone is handy. Check weather – if rain is forecast, you may get wet (there’s no full cover). Remember earplugs if you’re sensitive to loud music, and sunscreen/bug spray if you arrive in daylight. Also have a plan for catching a ride home in the early morning hours.
