The iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina is back. The celebration has announced its first round of appearances and performances for its 8th annual event in Orlando, Florida. Highlights released so far include performances by Prince Royce, Wisin & Yandel, Natti Natasha, Lunay, Mariah Angeliq, Zion & Lennox, and a special performance by J Balvin. 

The concert will take place on October 16 at Amway Center and will be hosted by Enrique Santos. He serves as both on-air talent on the show “On the Move with Enrique Santos” on iHeartRadio. And he serves as the iHeartLatino Chairman and CCO at iHeartMedia.

Other official details include the honoring of Luis Fonsi, who is also scheduled to perform. Fonsi will be awarded this year’s iHeartRadio Corazón Latino Award. In addition to being a St. Jude Children’s Research Ambassador, Luis was also heavily involved in the recovery of Puerto Rico after it was devastated by Hurricane Maria in 2017. Since then, he founded his own nonprofit foundation: The Luis Fonsi Foundation. 

On the musical side of things, Luis has broken records throughout his career. Most recently for “Despacito.” The song broke seven Guinness world records, most notably for most viewed music video online with over seven billion views on Youtube alone. The song was also on the Billboard Hot Latin Song chart for 56 weeks, the longest streak to date. 

Past iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina performances have included Jennifer Lopez, Camila Cabello, Pitbull, Nicky Jam, and Marc Anthony, to name a few. More performers will be announced in the coming weeks.
