“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:
The premier live showcase for Latin Music and Reggaeton, Baja Beach Fest has experienced exponential growth in its first three years. Today, Baja Beach Fest announces that it has sold all available tickets for Baja Beach Fest 2021, its first year as a three-day festival. A testament to its impressive brand equity and unbeatable lineup, headlined by the likes of Ozuna, Anuel AA, and J Balvin, Baja Beach Fest is the first festival of any genre to sell out during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Offering hope for a brighter future, the demand for Baja Beach Fest 2021 signals an eagerness for the return of live music and festive gatherings, and demonstrates the passion and purchasing power of Latin Music fans. Selling out just one month after the initial announcement–and one year in advance of the event–BBF benefits from its single-genre focus and unique vibe, offering an experience that virtual festivals can’t replicate. J Balvin, Anuel AA, and other artists showed their support for the festival and fans on a recent Instagram post, promising fans a once-in-a-lifetime event on the beach next year.
Baja Beach Fest 2021 boasts the most impressive lineup of Latin stars on either side of the border. Expanding from two to three days for the first time, the festival complements its A-list headliners with performances from Karol G, Sech, Farruko, Becky G, Kali Uchis, Dalex, Jhay Cortez, Guaynaa, El Alfa, Lunay, DJ Luian, Justin Quiles, Myke Towers, Sky Rompiendo, and many more.
