For its fourth annual edition, and second as a 2-weekend event, Baja Beach Fest branches out, catering to Latin music fans of all ages and tastes. As always, BBF plays host to some of the hottest names in modern reggaeton, including headliners Anuel AA and Farruko, and heavy-hitters like Sech, Jhay Cortez, Myke Towers, Jay Wheeler, Mora, and more. The 2022 lineup adds even more to love for longtime fans of the genre, promising the first-ever BBF performance by Daddy Yankee, a headlining set from Wisin y Yandel, and sets from Arcangel and Jowell & Randy. Fans of Latin Pop can enjoy Maluma, while Dembow diehards can perfect their perreo to the sounds of El Alfa and Tokischa.
The 2022 lineup reflects the festival’s proud Mexican origins, showcasing Mexican stars from different generations in prominent timeslots. Last year, Sinaloa icons Banda MS made for one of the most memorable moments in the festival, when they took the stage along with Becky G. This year, Banda MS gets a whole headlining set to themselves, and they’re looking to bring the same energy. Baja Beach Fest 2022 also marks the Rosarito debut of Natanael Cano, one of the nation’s most promising stars, who will bring his corridos tumbados to the Playa.
Baja Beach Fest 2022 follows a massively successful 2021, headlined by Anuel AA, J Balvin, Ozuna, and Karol G, along with a red hot undercard led by Rauw Alejandro, Farruko, Jhay Cortez, Becky G, and many more. A triumphant return for live Latin Music after a long absence due to the pandemic, Baja Beach Fest 2021 overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles to become the first Latin American music festival to return last year. In addition, BBF was the first festival in any location to be granted permission by local government to successfully and safely complete a second weekend in 2021. Earlier this month, Baja Beach Fest shared the two-part 2021 aftermovie, allowing fans to relive the event’s best moments.

The Background:
When Ozuna and Mark B sang “El día está pa’ playa y arena, la vamos a pasar muy bien” in 2016, they very well may have been foreseeing the launch of the Baja Beach Fest two years later. After a remarkable inaugural year, Baja Beach Fest is back for its sophomore year, celebrating the Latin community, beach vibes, and young Latin trap/reggaeton music. The first and only festival of its kind –– Baja Beach Fest Fest is held on the sand of the oceanfront resort of Rosarito, creating an all-encompassing experience of music and coastal feels. It was imagined into existence by two friends, Chris Den Uijl and Aaron Ampudia, and dedicated to the local community who wanted to bring the world’s most streamed artists together for a weekend of music. The 2021 edition of Baja Beach Fest bought an expansion from one two-day weekend to two three-day weekends, and featured performances from headliners Anuel AA, J Balvin, Ozuna, and Karol G. Just announced, the 2022 edition brings returns Anuel AA and Farruko as headliners, and adds luminaries like Daddy Yankee, Maluma, Wisin Y Yandel, and Banda MS to the mix.
