The boutique festival at the Cantera de Nagüeles celebrates its fifteenth anniversary with a lineup that includes Lenny Kravitz, Maroon 5, and Juan Luis Guerra. The event, which started on June 19 and runs until August 29, brings together over 70 artists in Marbella.
Marbella has become the musical epicentre of Europe this summer with the 15th edition of Starlite Occident Marbella, which from June 19 to August 29 gathers over 70 artists at the Cantera de Nagüeles. The boutique festival celebrates its fifteenth anniversary with a programme that includes names like Lenny Kravitz, Maroon 5, John Legend, Deep Purple, Alan Parsons, Rick Astley, Diana Krall, and Jean-Michel Jarre. This event, which has become a Mediterranean summer tradition, has managed to remain true to its essence of closeness between artists and the audience in a unique natural setting.
A lineup that mixes legends and current stars
This edition's programme once again places Marbella at the centre of the international music scene. Alongside the big names in rock and pop, the festival features prominent figures from Latin music such as Gloria Trevi, Ozuna, Yandel, Manuel Turizo, Danny Ocean, Grupo Frontera, Juan Luis Guerra, Elvis Crespo, Gente de Zona, Elena Rose, and Mora. National talent also plays a leading role thanks to performances by Rosario, Vanesa Martín, Malú, Love of Lesbian, Taburete, Delaossa, and Iván Ferreiro, among others.
According to the organisers, the festival has achieved something unusual: growing while keeping its boutique essence intact. Every summer, it gathers thousands of attendees from different countries, as well as artists, entrepreneurs, and personalities who find in Starlite a proposal that transcends the traditional concert. The format, which transformed a natural quarry into a stage under the stars, has become a distinctive model within the European music industry.
Fifteen years of history and a key economic impact for Marbella
Starlite Occident Marbella celebrates its fifteenth anniversary this year, consolidating itself as one of the most influential cultural and entertainment projects in Europe. What began as an innovative venture in 2012 has become a benchmark that combines live music, technical excellence, and an exclusive experience. The festival has helped position Marbella as one of the major international destinations linked to live music and premium entertainment.
For the residents of Marbella and the Costa del Sol, Starlite represents an important economic and cultural engine. During the months of July and August, the festival attracts high-spending tourists who fill hotels, restaurants, and shops in the area. Additionally, the programme offers the opportunity to enjoy top-level concerts without leaving the province, something that locals especially appreciate during the high season.
Tickets for upcoming concerts are still available through the festival's official website. Prices vary depending on the artist and location, with options ranging from general admission to VIP packages that include dinner and drinks. The organisation recommends purchasing tickets in advance, as many concerts, such as those by Lenny Kravitz or Juan Luis Guerra, have high demand.
With several weeks still ahead, Starlite Occident Marbella continues to offer a top-level programme in an edition that celebrates fifteen years of history and reaffirms its role as one of the most relevant cultural events of the European summer. The event, which has already become a tradition for thousands of attendees, promises unforgettable nights under the stars of the Cantera de Nagüeles.
