Festival Tropicalia returns this August as a meeting point for music, creativity and contemporary culture with its summer edition. Founded in 2016, Tropicalia has evolved over the years into a cultural phenomenon that blends music with a carefully crafted immersive experience for its audience. Book tickets online The headline act is Matías Aguayo, one of the most influential and innovative names in the international electronic music scene. Producer, composer, performer, label manager and DJ, Aguayo embodies an open, cosmopolitan vision of musical creation. His career, built across cities such as Berlin, Paris, Buenos Aires and Mexico City, has shaped an artistic language that pushes beyond the boundaries of electronic music to engage with performance, popular song and other creative disciplines. His appearance at Tropicalia is one of the edition's major draws and a rare opportunity in the Canary Islands to experience an artist whose live proposition goes far beyond a conventional DJ set to become a genuine performative event. The festival will once again spread across four stages with distinct musical offerings. The Tropic Stage will feature Matías Aguayo alongside Jela & Javadub, Afroclásicos and Makai. The Carnaval Stage brings together Sistah Vibes, Emi Castilla, Román, Elede and DJ Dream, while the Club Stage hosts Monterreina and Souldance Canarias, DJ CHK, Discolate Crew and The Fonkfenomeno Show. The Jungle Stage rounds out the programme with sets from Chola, Mito, Killa, Suga7 & Obscense Frequency and Miyagi & Friends — a line-up that champions sonic diversity and a balance between international, national and local artists.
