Controversial Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who met earlier with Buffett backstage, watched the performance from the wings of the stage, as Sports Illustrated model Camille Kostek danced nearby with WeWoreWhat designer Danielle Bernstein, Melissa Wood-Tepperberg and Olivia Culpo‘s sister, Sophia Culpo.
Jimmy Buffett Is No Stranger to Surprise Shows
Though Buffett wasn’t on the bill, he has made guest appearances in the Hamptons before. He joined Willie Nelson‘s son, Lukas Nelson (& Promise of the Real band), onstage at a party on Labor Day in 2019, and even entertained guests at Montauk’s exquisite Surf Lodge in 2018, when he jumped onstage as Wyclef Jean performed.
Along with Kygo, this year’s second annual Palm Music Festival lineup featured UK electronic music duo Disclosure, masked German house DJ Claptone, tropical house pioneer Thomas Jack, and Palm Tree Crew artists Forester and Haywood.
