Only Fuerza Regida’s JOP could pull together the biggest stars in both hip-hop and música mexicana for one festival. On Tuesday, the Fuerza frontman unveiled the lineup for the second annual Don’t Fall in Love Fest — headlined by Fuerza Regida and Future — set for Nov. 22 in San Bernardino, California.
On the Mexican music front, heavyweights Banda MS and Los Tucanes de Tijuana will perform, along with newer stars Oscar Maydon, Netón Vega, Banda Machos, Clave Especial, Chuyin, and Victor Mendivil.
Repping the rap and hip-hop world will be Future, Chief Keef, Saweetie, Baby Bash, Snow Tha Product, and Peysoh.
Chicano stars Lil’ Rob and MC Magic, along with Mexican bands Mi Banda el Mexicano and Banda Machos, round out the lineup. J.I Bandz and Kingmostwanted will represent the local San Bernardino rap scene.
“Don’t Fall in Love Fest is back, and we’re coming back with full force,” said JOP in a press release. “Neton, Future, Chief Keef, Banda MS, música mexicana meets rap across two stages. No one has done anything like this before, and after last year’s success, we can’t wait for fans to come celebrate the music, the culture, and the energy with us.”
Festival passes are on sale now. General admission entry costs $263, GA+ entry starts at $393, and VIP tickets will cost fans $688 each.
This year, the fest — hosted by JOP’s Street Mob Records and Bobby Dee Presents — will expand to two full-production stages and a club dome with DJs and “state-of-the-art sound and lighting” late into the evening.
A portion of the festival profits will support charitable initiatives, including immigration legal assistance for the Latin community, according to a press release.
Last year, JOP hosted the fest fo the first time, bringing along artists such as Lil Baby, Xavi, Luis R Conriquez, Los Ángeles Azules, and Kodak Black to San Bernardino.
