The last few days Jimmy Buffett has released clues for a special surprise and on Monday afternoon the surprise was revealed. Jimmy will play a special show in Key West on April 1st with the entire set list determined by vote!

A couple hundred will win tickets to the show, and one lucky winner will even win an all expense paid trip to the show including a meeting with Jimmy and the Coral Reefers backstage.

Visit margaritaville.tv to enter the sweepstakes and submit your set list!

Tickets are not being sold to this show. You can only win them by submitting your set.

The San Carlos theater (capacity: 300) is where it all started.

Jimmy and the Coral Reefer Band first performed here in the 70’s and they’re returning to play a special show where YOU pick the set list. Simply choose your favorite songs from the lists and submit them. The 27 songs with the most votes make the show! (Don’t worry – Jimmy will arrange the order of the songs to make a fun show.)

Plus, everyone who enters is automatically entered for a chance to win tickets to the show, and one lucky winner will win an all-expenses paid trip to Key West to see the show live! We’ll let you know by March 2nd, 2015 if you won tickets so you can plan your trip.

And if you can’t make it, we are going to show the whole thing live on Margaritaville.tv. It should be a night to remember! Now get started!

Watch a video of Jimmy announcing the show at contest on Facebook.

The restaurant is being built at San Antonio’s Rivercenter Mall on the famed River Walk.

From Syracuse.com:

The chain’s iconic 5 O’Clock Somewhere Bar is there, along with a giant margarita blender. Nearby is the Margaritaville store.

The venue’s live performance stage is behind the store, complete with an “Oswego Harbor” lighthouse.

The main dining area extends past the stage to the venue’s other watering hole: the Tiki Bar, perched on the edge of Destiny’s canyon.

Margaritaville’s grand opening event starts at 9:15 a.m. Monday. A ribbon cutting will take place at around 10:15 a.m.

The venue opens immediately after the event. It will feature the chain’s signature margaritas and coastal-style food.

A cryptic message was sent out today by Jimmy Buffett:

There are so few things left that Jimmy has never done before – this will be one of them and we think you’re really going to like it….

The video says “back to the island… coming February 2nd”
