MicheFest To Celebrate Best Of Mexico With Prominent Latin Artists Across 10 Dates
LENUSA, a live entertainment agency that delivers Latin music throughout the world, is launching the first-ever traveling music festival that honors Mexican culture with MicheFest, a 10-date event across eight U.S. states that will feature popular acts such as Los Tigres del Norte, Los Tucanes de Tijuana, Eslabón Armado and Los Alameños de la Sierra.
The festival tour kicks off Aug. 19 at Granite Park in Fresno, California, with a star-studded lineup that includes legendary band Los Tigres del Norte and Los Tucanes de Tijuana, a group whose hit songs are staples in a Latin party. Los Tigres last performed outdoors in Fresno at the original MicheFest in 2019, and Los Tucanes will be making their presence in the Northern California city for the first time in over three years.
“We were excited to headline the very first individual MicheFest back in 2019, and we are thrilled to be headlining the first MICHEFEST national festival tour date in Fresno, California,” Alfonso De Alba, the manager of iconic Mexican music group Los Tigres del Norte, said in a statement. “We think this new MicheFest U.S. touring festival will showcase all the great parts of Mexican culture and share them with fans everywhere.”
Each night of the festival will feature a unique lineup of artists, and event organizers promise an event that showcases the magic of Mexican culture with “vibrant colors, exquisite flavors and captivating sounds.” And as the name of the festival suggests, fans will also be able to enjoy micheladas, a Mexican drink made beer, lime juice, spices and sauces.
MicheFest will also make its way to Denver, Austin, Dallas, Nashville, Charlotte, Salt Lake City, Phoenix and Coachella before wrapping up in Las Vegas on Oct. 22. Other artists who are slated to perform at some of the shows include Eslabón Armado, whose song “Ella Baila Sola” went viral on social media and propelled featured artist Peso Pluma to stardom, Gabito Ballesteros, Luis Angel “El Flaco”, Gerardo Coronel “El Jerry”, Edwin Luna y La Trakalosa de Monterrey and more artists to be announced.
Tickets for the first four festival dates go on sale July 7 at 10 a.m. local time and passes for the remaining shows can be purchased on July 14. VIP packages will give fans access to seating in a luxury lounge with paid bottle service, a special bar with signature drinks, a carne asada grill experience and more. Premium VIP tickets will give fans an opportunity to take photos with select artists throughout the festival. To purchase tickets and for information about lineups, visit michefest.com.
