Calibash MX Festival Highlights Mexican Music at Crypto.com Arena

Published January 8, 2024

The latest Calibash music festival phenomenon introduces Calibash MX, focusing on Mexican music, as part of its wide-ranging celebration of Latino sounds. This two-day spectacle is set to light up the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on January 12th and 13th, spotlighting the rich diversity of the Latino community.

Christopher Martinez of SBS Entertainment has expressed the significance of Mexican music in the Latin community, anchoring the need to showcase it prominently at Calibash. Reflecting the current momentum of música Mexicana, Calibash MX is poised to be a vibrant tribute featuring a carefully curated lineup of seven acts each day for a more intimate and immersive fan experience compared to previous years' larger lineups.

Stellar Performances on the Horizon

A stellar ensemble of Latin music stars will grace the arena with Feid, Yandel, Farruko, and others igniting the stage on January 12. The following day will host the inaugural Calibash MX event, where fans can revel in performances by Mexican-American groups Grupo Frontera, Conexión Divina, and Yahritza y Su Esencia. Notably, heavy-hitting Mexican artists such as Edgardo Nuñez and Yng Lvcas, known for the hit 'La Bebé,' will also deliver their unique sound to an eager audience.

Calibash's transformation over 17 years from a single-night event to an influential Latin music celebration is emblematic of its deep connection to the Latin community. The festival has grown to accommodate the fans' increasing demand, even achieving a sold-out three-day extravaganza in 2022. The event's focus on audience enjoyment and cultural unity continues to drive its evolution.

A Festival Beyond Music

Complementing the musical acts, Calibash extends its offerings with a free pre-festival event featuring live music, refreshments, and activities at Gilbert Lindsay Plaza. Starting at 4 p.m., this event is designed to enhance the community's festival experience, inviting both ticket holders and the general public to participate in the festivities. Martinez encourages everyone to make it a full-day celebration and to engage with the community spirit that Calibash encapsulates.

With its much-anticipated lineup, immersive activities, and long-standing reputation of bringing cultural festivities to the heart of Los Angeles, Calibash once again stands ready to deliver an unforgettable experience for Latin music enthusiasts.
