Vive Latino is finalizing its preparations with more than 80% of tickets sold

Countdown to the third edition of the Vive Latino festival , which will once again bring together thousands of people this weekend in Zaragoza , attracted by the musical culture of artists from all over the world. On 
September 6 and 7, the Expo site will once again be filled with life with a festive atmosphere that will even transcend the boundaries of the area of ​​the city in which it is located.

“Last year there were more than 40,000 visitors and the Vive Latino festival  had an economic impact of around nine million euros in the city . We hope that this year it will once again have the same positive impact on hotels, restaurants, shops, taxis and, ultimately, on the entire city,” said the Mayor of Zaragoza, Natalia Chueca, who also highlighted the importance of this event beyond the cultural aspect during an institutional visit to the venue.

In its third edition in two years in the Aragonese capital, ticket sales are currently at 80% or 85% of capacity. In this sense, it is estimated that between 35,000 and 37,000 visitors may pass through the Expo site this weekend . For now, in any case, preparations are focused on preparing the dressing rooms or the final details of the main stages.

Beyond the public, the other big stars will be the artists who have filled this year’s lineup. Among them, says promoter and director Nacho Royo, the ones who may surprise the most will be the Latin artists.

“There are many bands with an impressive quality. As always, Vive Latino brings artists who are not known here and are very big there. It is pretentious to say ‘culture’, but in some ways it is like that because it is showing unknown talent like Cadillacs, Molotov or Julieta Venegas have done in other years . People were left with their mouths open and this year the same thing will happen again,” he said.

ARAGON AS THE EPICENTER OF MUSIC

Just as Aragon was the epicentre of motor racing last weekend with the arrival of the Moto GP Grand Prix at MotorLand, this weekend promises to put Zaragoza and Aragon back on the map. “It’s not just a festival, it’s not just a concert, it’s a party,” said the president of Aragon, Jorge Azcón. Last year alone, ticket purchases were recorded from 38 different European countries .

And like any self-respecting party, the Vive Latino festival, which is almost 1.5 kilometres long from the entrance gates to the main stage, will have several stages and a gastronomic area with food trucks and food stands. There will also be a bar area and terraces.

So, with preparations in full swing, all that remains is to keep an eye on the sky to see if the rain that has been the main attraction these days will give a break so that this festival, both inside and outside, can once again break record figures.
