Every year, there are more and more music festivals than we can keep up with – and 2024 is already shaping up to be no different. Long gone are the days when we only had massive festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, or Governors Ball on our radars. Now, we have more festivals catering to our eclectic musical tastes — and it’s only increasing as Latine music continues to grow globally.
But it’s not all about mainstream festivals. Yes, Bad Bunny headlining Coachella was a huge win, and Fuerza Regida representing our flag in Camp Flog Gnaw is celebrated. But other Latine festivals are also putting effort into representing our cultures. Festivals like Sueños Music Festival in Chicago, IL, and Hollywood Forever’s Noche de Muertos festival in Los Angeles, CA, also work to keep our music scene alive and thriving. What can we say? It’s hard to ignore our talented artists who keep breaking records despite language barriers — and festival figureheads seem to be noticing finally.
Beyond the States, there’s also a vast and rich music festival scene continuously expanding its horizons abroad. For example, Chicago’s emblematic Pitchfork Festival has not only found European editions, but they’re also debuting their first-ever Mexico City extension in March 2024, which is an exciting partnership to see. What else is in store for 2024? While we don’t know what’s under wraps just yet, we hope to continue to see more Latine festivals and events emerge and Latine artists taking up more spaces in and out of the U.S.
So before spending all your hard-earned coins in just one festival weekend, take a look at all of these other lineups that are also worth the trip. From the new música mexicana extension of Calibash called Calibash MX to the music staples in Latin America like Lollapalooza Brasil, here are all types of music festivals of all different calibers to get familiar with.
