According to the festival’s Instagram post, the one-day event was canceled “due to circumstances beyond our control,” they wrote. “We take great pride in our annual celebration of exceptional music and culture, connecting generations in a way no other event can. After working tirelessly all year to bring you another unforgettable show in December, we are deeply disappointed to share this news.”
Rolling Stone broke the news, citing that “the decision came after Shakira’s decision to postpone her arena tour for a stadium run next year.” The festival was set to be a part of her postponed 2024 tour across the United States, originally set to kick off in November. Live Nation recently upgraded the tour to stadiums for 2025 and cited “Incredible fan demand and production changes.”
The one-day festival was also set to include appearances from Juanes, Gloria Trevi, Elvis Crespo, Paulina Rubio, Los Tucanes de Tijuana, and more. It was the third iteration of the event that started over two years ago and recently expanded to Austin, Texas, earlier this year. It will return to Austin at the Circuit of the Americas racing track next April with Peso Pluma, Carin León, Los Tigres del Norte, and Tito Doble P as headliners. Pepe Aguilar, Eden Muñoz, Banda MS, Elvis Crespo, Argentinian singer Cazzu, and many more are also on the lineup.
Fans can expect refunds for tickets to the Los Angeles festival in “as little as 30 days,” per event organizers.
