Here’s everything you need to know about the Big Sound festival.
The first edition of the Big Sound festival was in 2021. Spread across three days, it took place at Estadi Ciutat de València, the city’s football stadium home to Levante UD.
Held in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, Big Sound festival had to respond to multiple changes in dates, restrictions, and capacity.
But finally, the 2021 festival managed to run smoothly from 8-10 July, 2021, with national artists such as reggaeton star Chema Rivas, electronic duo Mueveloreina, and the soulful Paul Cendejas.
Big Sound festival dedicates itself to showing off local urban music. Festival-goers can look forward to various genres, like Latin pop, reggaeton, trap, hip-hop, R&B, and more. In 2021, there was also a sprinkle of pop-rock thanks to Sandra Groove and electronic beats courtesy of JT.
At Big Sound festival, you can expect the biggest names in the Latin music scene to bring you a spectacular show. Catalonia’s very own Bad Gyal, famous for her underground urban roots and dancehall fusions, brought the flava to the stage.
After becoming a viral sensation in 2016 thanks to her Spanish spin on Rihanna’s Work, Bad Gyal has been dominating the music scene with hits like Fiebre, Hookah, and Zorra.
The local Big Sound festival crowd is no stranger to superstar Ana Mena, who had her start as an actress in the TV show Marisol.
After winning Disney’s My Camp Rock 2, she debuted as a singer in 2016 with her infectious single No Soy Como Tú Crees, which has more than nine million views on Youtube.
If you’re a fan of upbeat Latin pop tunes with a modern twist, you can look forward to more of them at this festival.
Big Sound festival wouldn’t be complete without eclectic trap tunes. With Don Patricio on the stage, the Spanish singer brought the fireworks to Valencia.
His one-hour set got the crowds going, especially when he started singing the first notes of his hit Contando Lunares, which received six platinum records and more than 240 million streams on Spotify.
What’s the point of a festival if it doesn’t make you dance?
The Canary Islands’ native Danny Romero got the masses vibing to his distinct Latin dance music, reggaeton, and hip-hop beats.
With his top singles Motívate and No Creo en el Amor featuring Becky G, you can expect more of these urban sounds at Big Sound festival.
