The island president, Sergio Rodríguez, explains that the Corporation is committed to a change of format, focusing on large concerts with a headliner and not eight-hour festivals.
Unified tickets for the two concerts of the international artists, which will take place on July 25 and 26 at the Fairgrounds, can be purchased starting today.
The first edition of the Lustral Fest, promoted by the Cabildo de La Palma as part of the Lustral Festivities in Honor of the Virgen de Las Nieves, will feature Nicky Jam and Marc Anthony as the protagonists of the two concerts to be held on July 25 and 26 at the Recinto Ferial in the capital.
The island president, Sergio Rodríguez, has announced the names of these two internationally successful artists who will headline the two concerts that will make up the event. “We are betting on a change of format, focused on big concerts with a headliner and not eight-hour festivals.”
Rodriguez stressed that this is a special event and a strong commitment of the Corporation to complete the festive program of this year lustral. “It should be noted that to the 600,000 euros 2M granted directly to the Patronato de la Fiesta, which is already a historic investment, are added all the expenses of this concert, which generates an unprecedented support of the Cabildo de La Palma to the Bajada de la Virgen de Las Nieves”.

The president of La Palma explained that in this case, we are betting on a double day with different themes and possibilities for different audiences, with a first day dedicated to urban music and another to salsa and Latin music with two world-class figures, such as Nicky Jam on Friday, July 25 and Marc Anthony on Saturday, July 26.
Miriam Perestelo, Councilor for Economic Promotion and Commerce and Councilor of Sodepal, highlighted the commitment of the Cabildo and the public company to promote this type of musical events that position La Palma in the international music scene with world-renowned artists, reinforcing the interest of visitors to the island on the date of Bajada and facilitating the citizens of La Palma to enjoy top-level performances without having to travel to other islands or to the Peninsula.
In addition, the Councilor emphasizes that this event will attract thousands of people, generating an important activity in strategic sectors, such as lodging, restaurants, commerce and transportation. Miriam Perestelo also points out the generation of employment as another of the benefits of this important bet of the Corporation.
The Councilor highlights, on the one hand, the external protection of La Palma thanks to these two concerts, but also the continuity of the Cabildo’s commitment to promote local talent, which will also play an important role in this important cultural space.
The mayor of the capital, Asier Antona, thanks the support of the Cabildo to the Bajada de la Virgen and the Lustral Fest, without which it would not be possible to carry out a program of this magnitude. “The Lustral Fest, with Nicky Jam and Marc Anthony, international artists that we present today and that are divided into two concerts, adds to the more than 400 events planned for these Lustral Festivities,” he says.
The producer of Lustral Fest La Palma, Maikel Chacón, announces that from today joint tickets for the two days of the festival can be purchased and encourages people who are interested in enjoying the international artists to purchase this bonus, since individual tickets for each concert will be put on sale in the event that the capacity of 8,000 people, is not completed with this first batch.
