Baja Beach Fest Celebrates Fifth Anniversary With Tego Calderón, Don Omar, and More

Baja Beach Fest, one of the biggest showcases for reggaeton and urbano music, is celebrating its fifth anniversary with major OGs in the genre. The action-packed lineup includes headlining sets veteran acts like Wisin Y Yandel, Nicky Jam, Don Omar, and Tego Calderón, showing how much the festival has evolved since it started as a one-day concert in 2018.

Wisin Y Yandel and Nicky Jam will take the stage on the first day of the festival, which kicks off on August 11 in Rosarito, Mexico. Ozuna and Feid, two artists coming off big album releases in 2022, will headline the second day, while Don Omar and Calderón will be the major acts who will help close out the festival. An appearance by Calderón is especially noteworthy, given that the Puerto Rican icon stays largely out of the spotlight.
