Great news for all music and party lovers considering Spain for this year’s vacation. There is a new music festival on the Spanish coast horizon this summer. Fiesta Marbella is a new festival promising to bring the best music artists to Earth’s most beautiful place in 2024. The Festival takes place over five days on the beautiful Spanish coast.
The Festival will take place in August, and we are slowly discovering some headliners. The first official announcements by the organizer are Pete Tong with Jules Buckley and The Essential Orchestra. The other headliner is the Arab pop star, Nancy Ajram.
When Is Fiesta Marbella 2024?
The first Fiesta Marbella takes place from August 7th to August 11th — just in time for this summer vacation.
Where Is the Fiesta Marbella Music Festival?
It’s in the name. Fiesta Marbella Music Festival takes place at the Marbella Arena in Puerto Banus, Marbella, Spain.
In early August, Marbella, Spain, enjoys warm weather with average temperatures around 24°C (75°F), peaking at 31°C (87°F) during the day and cooling to around 19°C (66°F) at night. This period typically experiences very little rainfall, ideal for outdoor and beach activities. This sounds like perfect weather conditions for a music festival in southern Spain.
Music and travel are merging in exciting new ways, and the trend continues to captivate adventurers and music lovers alike. This summer, the spotlight shines on the Costa del Sol for travelers seeking unforgettable experiences in one of Spain’s most picturesque destinations.
What Music Genres Does Fiesta Marbella Cover?
Considering it is the first time Fiesta Marbella is held, we expect a few surprises in the lineup for 2024. However, the organizer shared some info. The organizers announce that the attendees can expect the best House and Drum and Bass DJs. So, in general, we can expect dance/electronic genres and hope for more surprises.
About the FIESTA by the Organizers
The organizers, Bill Blenkarn and Steve Durham, renowned music promoters, are setting the stage for an epic celebration at FIESTA Marbella. Over five nights, attendees can enjoy top-notch performances starting at 5 p.m. each day, turning Marbella into a haven for music lovers eager to dance the night away.
We asked the organizers what drove them to create the FIESTA Marbella festival.
“In Marbella, we found the perfect place to hold our inaugural festival, FIESTA. Our dream was to allow audiences to experience world-class acts for the first time in a unique setting for a whole week, so Pete Tong and Nancy Ajram playing at the Marbella Arena is the dream turning into reality.
Bill Blenkarn and Steve Durham
Marbella is one of the most vibrant and beautiful places on earth, and we have already found similarly inspiring locations around the world that will host FIESTA in 2025. The U.S. and the Middle East are the current favorites.
We will always return to our birthplace, especially given the support from the local community and the fans snapping our tickets quicker than we expected! Join us for a global tour next year; FIESTA holiday packages will be available soon!”
