MAJACE stands for Marcus Anderson Jazz AND Coffee Escape. Sometimes, you may hear us refer to it as ‘The Escape.’

Yes! Marcus Anderson hosts one of the most exhilarating music festivals every year.

We are excited to have ONE location for everything! This means the music, daily events, sleeping rooms, morning events, after-parties, and more will take place at the beautiful Hilton Durham near Duke University. You asked for one location, and we delivered!

We will update the Accommodations Page with the hotel booking link for reservations as soon as it becomes available. The hotel is unable to process MAJACE accommodation requests (online or by phone) until we share the necessary details. We will first contact those who want to change to the new host hotel that already have tickets. Don’t worry, this hotel has plenty of rooms. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Yes! You can find the 2025 lineup on our Artists page. Sign up for our mailing list to stay updated as details are released.

Yes! MAJACE offers Premium Platinum Experience VIP Packages for three days. We provide exclusive services to our Platinum VIP guests throughout the Escape.

We have many surprises in store, and our only VIP option is Platinum VIP. This is a Platinum event with limited General Admission seating. Visit our Tickets page to purchase your Platinum VIP package. 

Yes! We offer a payment plan for our Platinum VIP Package, allowing you to split the total into four payments over four months. As the festival approaches, the number of available payments will decrease until full payment is the only option. Please note that additional fees apply for payment plans, covering the added convenience they provide.

The Platinum VIP seating section has reserved seats. During booking, you will have 7 minutes to select and check out your preferred seat. Your seat is reserved exclusively for you for the duration of the festival.

Paying in full is the most cost-efficient option and allows for additional savings on your VIP package.

We offer single-day and two-day General Admission tickets. But be careful—you may regret not staying for the entire weekend!
