“Only on its second consecutive year, the fest, nestled on the glistening beach of Rosarito, Mexico, has managed to become a player on the global festival scene” – Billboard
“Baja Beach Fest Was a Game-Changing Showcase of Latinx Excellence” – Vice
“If you’ve heard anything about Baja Beach Fest — the reggaeton and Latin hip-hop festival coming to Rosarito, Mexico’s historic Papas & Beer this weekend — you know this: It’s a party. Like a big, wild, sprawling, bucket-list rager. And while other festivals seek to widen their reach by bringing in digital artists, broadening the genres they focus on, or adding in a health component, Baja Beach Fest is staying true to its identity.” – UPROXX
“…the sold-out show is already a success: Ozuna and Bad Bunny are among the two-dozen acts scheduled to perform Friday and Saturday in this coastal resort town about 30 minutes south of the border.” – LA Times

The Announcement:
With a glorious beachside locale, immaculate vibes, and the biggest stars of Latin Music and Reggaeton, Baja Beach Fest is one-of-a-kind. After starting life as a one-day festival in 2018, Baja Beach Fest prepares to return to Rosarito Beach, MX with its biggest event yet. Spanning two weekends with three days of performances each, Baja Beach Fest 2021 represents a major expansion for the festival, which started as a single-day event in 2018, before expanding to two days in 2019 and three days in the 2020 edition (canceled due to COVID).
With a star-studded lineup headlined by the likes of Anuel AA, J Balvin, Ozuna, and Karol G, Baja Beach Fest 2021 sold all tickets for its first weekend in less than one month. The festival complements its A-list headliners with performances from Sech, Farruko, Becky G, Kali Uchis, Dalex, Jhay Cortez, Guaynaa, El Alfa, Lunay, DJ Luian, Justin Quiles, Myke Towers, Sky Rompiendo, and many more. The festival recently added Argentine sensation Nicki Nicole to the already-stacked lineup. The success of the festival signals an eagerness for the return of live music, and demonstrates the passion and purchasing power of Latin Music fans.
With the sold out first weekend occurring on August 13-15th, 2021 and tickets for the second weekend (August 20th-22nd) selling fast, fans are raring to lace up their swimsuits and experience hyper-social beachside vibe that virtual festivals can’t hope to replicate. Let the countdown begin!
