La Cura Fest by Carín León will take place for the first time in March, and the Mexican music star announced his first guests on Thursday (Jan. 15). These include Spanish pop star Alejandro Sanz, Mexican music idols Grupo Frontera and country singer and rapper Jelly Roll as headliners, reflecting León’s eclectic musical tastes and versatility.
The lineup also features Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Kany García, Mexican singer-songwriter Kevin Kaarl and country band Midland, with more artists to be announced in the coming weeks.
The event will be held on Saturday, March 14, and Sunday, March 15, at the Expogan in the Mexican city of Hermosillo, Sonora, León’s hometown.
The lineup, in this first phase, includes colleagues and friends of the “La Primera Cita” singer, many of whom he has collaborated with throughout his career. With Sanz, for instance, León recorded hits such as “El Vino de Tu Boca” and “Mil Motivos”; with García, “Te Lo Agradezco”; and with Grupo Frontera, “Que Vuelvas” and “Mutuo.”
In addition to the main stage at the Expogan (Expo Ganadera), there will also be a secondary stage at the venue’s palenque for more intimate shows, according to a press release.
Originally planned as a one-day event, the festival announced a second date after tickets, which went on sale Dec. 5 without the lineup being announced, sold out within hours. Anticipation grew on Dec. 22 when Sanz confirmed his attendance in a video, followed by Grupo Frontera.
Tickets are still available for the second date of La Cura Fest by Carín León, with prices ranging from about $100 to $200.
Here’s the lineup with the artists announced so far:
