JOECHELLA

HALF A CENTURY

Joe Che's Half a Century Birthday Celebration

December 9 to 13  ·  2026

Bali Beach Glamping  ·  Tabanan, Bali  ·  Indonesia

The Story

Half a century. That number sat with me for a while.

I'm turning 50. My friends, bless them, gave me absolutely no say in what to call it. Joechella it is.

This is going to be intimate. The people in this room are the people who've mattered across the last fifty years. Close friends, people I love and admire, people who've shown up in ways I don't take lightly.

It's somewhere between a microfestival and genuine connection time. There'll be workshops, lightning talks, rituals, and celebration. Something that actually fits the life I've been building toward. Five days that feel worth fifty years.

Check out this awesome tribute video that my good friend Helix made for my 48th. This is the kind of energy I want to bring out for my 50th!

The Experience

Five days that start quietly and end loudly.

December 9

ARRIVE

Settle in. Breathe. Let the beach and the people do what they do. The week starts here.

December 10 and 11

CONNECT

Workshops, lightning talks, and real conversation. A living eulogy circle. Connection rituals that make you remember why you love the people you love.

December 12 and 13

CELEBRATE

DJs. Performances. Sloth Disco. Sensory experiences I genuinely can't explain in one sentence. Dancing until we can't.

The Venue

Bali Beach Glamping, Tabanan

Fifty luxury tents on the west coast of Bali, set between black sand beach and rice fields with the Indian Ocean at the doorstep. Twenty-five minutes north of Canggu, far enough to feel like a world apart. Up to 120 guests, all sleeping in air-conditioned glamping tents with proper ensuite bathrooms and hotel-quality bedding. There is an infinity pool, a spa, an on-site restaurant, and a wide open lawn big enough for whatever we decide to do on it.
