Starlite Occident Festival has become a beacon for music lovers and artists alike. This festival, held in the unique setting of the Nagüeles quarry, has been a staple in the music scene, attracting a plethora of artists with national and international appeal.
A Celebration of Music
Starlite Occident is not just a festival; it’s a celebration of music across genres. Each year, it brings together established names and emerging talents, promoting the world of music in a vibrant and eclectic atmosphere. This year is no exception, with a lineup that promises to captivate audiences.
Highlights of This Year
One of the standout performances this year is by the Mallorcan artist ex Skinny Flakk, known for his hip hop and urban tunes. He is set to take the stage tomorrow, Thursday, August 22nd, bringing his unique sound to the festival.
Why is it called a Boutique Festival?
According to their website, Starlite is classified under the category of the Boutique Festivals, which is a concept that in itself counteracts the idea of larger scale and highly commercial planned- out events. Those kind of festivals are not run in stadiums or large capacity concert halls. Rather they give off the sensation of attending a small gig, when it comes to the image they and the structure of the staging areas and the audience.
For fans of Spanish pop, the excitement is palpable. Two internationally renowned artists, Julio Iglesias and Melendi, are set to perform, and their shows are highly anticipated. Julio Iglesias, with his timeless voice and romantic ballads, and Melendi, known for his energetic performances and catchy tunes, are sure to be highlights of the festival.
More Than Just Music
Starlite Occident is more than just a music festival. It offers a complete experience with gourmet food, after-parties, and a vibrant atmosphere that makes it a must-visit event. The festival runs until the end of August, providing ample opportunities for attendees to immerse themselves in the magic of music and culture.
The Starlite Gala
Besides the music acts there is another custom that is associated with Starlite and that is a charity Gala, a prominent charity event held annually as part of the Starlite Festival in Marbella. Incidentally in this part, a serious name dropping should happen since Antonio Banderas and Sandra García-Sanjuán are always the hosts of this event. Trying to rise up to to the funds raised the previous year, the goal is to give as much as possible to the community through for various charitable causes. It brings together celebrities, business leaders, and philanthropists to support the initiatives of the Fundación Starlite and other associated charities.
The gala is known for its glamorous setting and high-profile attendees, making it a significant event in the social calendar. Funds raised during the gala are used to support educational, health, and social projects, providing real opportunities for those in need.
