La Familia Presenta
Latin festival promoter La Familia Presenta’s two marquee brands have continued to grow, with Sueños in Chicago attracting 130,000 fans over two days and Baja Beach Fest in Rosarito Beach, Mexico, drawing 90,000 fans across three days. In August, the promoter also brought back Dale Mixx for the festival’s second edition in Monterrey, Mexico, and signed Mexican artist Codiciado for co-management (with Fabio Acosta) and a touring deal in partnership with Live Nation. “As a genre, Latin music is still just scratching the surface of what it can become,” Den Uijl says. “We look forward to seeing more subgenres within Latin music grow, gain more fans and be celebrated at live shows and festivals like ours.”
