SAN DIEGO — Baja Beach Fest, the outdoor Rosarito Beach reggaeton and Latin trap music festival that debuted in 2018, will celebrate its fifth anniversary Aug. 11-13 in a star-studded but streamlined manner.
The lineup, announced early Tuesday afternoon, includes such major acts as Ozuna, Wisin y Yandel, Feid, Don Omar and Becky G. The festival also includes what is being billed as a “special Sunday set” on Aug. 13 by Tijuana’s brassy Grupo Firme, which last year became the first regional Mexican banda music group to headline a full-stadium concert at Petco Park.
Nearly half of this year’s performers will be making their debuts at Baja Beach Fest, which was launched in 2018 and returned in 2019. It was canceled in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and resumed in 2021, expanding from one three-day weekend to two. It sold-out that year, with daily attendance of 35,000.
