Vive Latino, one of Mexico's biggest and most recognized rock music festivals featuring artists from Latin America and beyond, is headed to Spain in 2020.
The announcement, made Tuesday (Dec. 17) via social media, revealed that the Spanish counterpart will happen in Zaragoza on September 11 and 12. The inaugural lineup was announced today and will feature Cafe Tacvba, Aterciopelados, Ximena SariƱana, Enrique Bunbury, Molotov and more.
The festival's expansion to Spain solidifies Latin rock music's presence in Iberoamerican culture. Zaragoza was chosen as the home for the Spanish edition for its central location between major cities Madrid, Barcelona and Bilbao, festival promoter OCESA said in a statement.
"With the great synergy of two continents, America and Europe, and with music as our flag, Vive Latino comes to Spain in 2020," the statement continued.
Vive Latino has been held in Mexico City for the last 20 years and has been a formative festival for many Latin music artists. Its 21st installment in the country's capital will take place on March 14 and 15.
