From July 20 to 25, the Cantera de Nagüeles will host five big names in music: John Legend, Diana Krall, Carlos Rivera, Kool & The Gang and Miguel Ríos.
The Cantera de Nagüeles is preparing for a week of luxury. Starlite Occident Marbella, the most important boutique festival in Europe, will welcome five music legends from July 20 to 25: John Legend, Diana Krall, Carlos Rivera, Kool & The Gang and Miguel Ríos. A lineup that encompasses soul, jazz, Latin pop, funk and Spanish rock, solidifying the event as a must-attend summer fixture on the Costa del Sol.
The first to take the stage will be John Legend on July 20. The Oscar, Grammy and Tony winner, known for hits like 'All of Me' and 'Ordinary People', will offer an intimate concert in a space that has already seen other great voices. For attendees, it is the chance to see an artist who has sold over 15 million records worldwide in a unique setting.
Jazz, Latin pop and funk for all audiences
The following day, July 21, Diana Krall will arrive. The Canadian pianist and singer, one of the most significant figures in contemporary jazz, will present her classic repertoire at the quarry. With over 15 million albums sold, Krall is a regular at major festivals, but Starlite offers her a closeness to the audience that is hard to find on other stages.
On July 22, it will be Carlos Rivera's turn. The Mexican, known for his role in 'La Voz' and hits like 'Te Esperaba', arrives in Marbella at a sweet moment in his career. His Latin pop with ballad undertones promises a night of strong emotions, with an audience that will sing along to every song.
On July 23, the party will be provided by Kool & The Gang. The American band, which has been making the world dance for over five decades with songs like 'Celebration' and 'Ladies' Night', is synonymous with energy and rhythm. Their performance at the Cantera de Nagüeles will be one of the most anticipated of the week, with a repertoire that will resonate with all generations.
Miguel Ríos closes the week and the festival moves towards the Premios Juventud
The grand finale will be provided by Miguel Ríos on July 25. The Granada-born rock legend will review his greatest hits such as 'El Río' and 'Bienvenidos' in a concert that promises to be historic. With over 50 years of career, Ríos remains a reference point and his presence at Starlite is a gift for rock lovers.
Starlite Occident Marbella celebrates its 15th edition this year, and it does so with a lineup that has grown in quality and variety. The festival, which runs until September 3, will culminate with the celebration of the Premios Juventud, which will be awarded for the first time in Europe. A milestone that reinforces the international projection of the event and turns Marbella into the epicentre of Latin music.
For the residents of the province of Málaga, Starlite is not just a festival; it is a cultural showcase that attracts thousands of tourists and generates a notable economic impact. Tickets for these concerts, ranging from 60 to 150 euros, are available on the official festival website. Those who want to see these legends in a unique setting know: the Cantera de Nagüeles awaits them.
