The Port of Santa Cruz in Tenerife will welcome around 30,000 music fans tonight (Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday) with the I Love Reggaeton and Love The 90’s festivals taking place this weekend.

The first event, I Love Reggaeton, will feature performances by prominent artists such as Alexis & Fido, Yandar & Yostin, Osmani García, Lucenzo, Big Yamo, Henry Méndez, Buxxi, Danny Romero, Dasoul, Lorna, Las K-Narias, José de Rico, Tutto Durán, DCS, Charly Rodríguez, and Dame Más Gasolina DJs.

Tomorrow, Love The 90’s will bring together a star-studded lineup including Haddaway, Corona, Snap!, Sonique, Alice DJ, Daisy Dee, The Outhere Brothers, Bellini, Paradisio, Rozalla, Ann Lee, Jumper Brothers, Viceversa, Locomía, and Abel from SBS.

In a press conference, Felipe Menéndez, General Director of Sharemusic!, the promotors of the festivals, announced that this is the first time these festivals are being held in the capital of Tenerife. He emphasized that the timing is perfect, offering a dual format that revisits classic hits while blending past and present musical trends through Love The 90’s.

The organisers have confirmed that doors for I Love Reggaeton Tenerife will open at 7:00pm, two hours before the concerts begin. Meanwhile, Love The 90’s Tenerife will open at 6:00pm, allowing attendees two and a half hours before the music starts.

Menéndez highlighted the positive impact of these festivals on the island, noting that the events have created jobs for 600 people daily through their logistics operations, collaborated with up to 30 local businesses, and support sustainability efforts. He also pointed out that the festival stages will operate on “100% renewable energy,” helping to reduce the carbon footprint by 13 tons.

The festival presentations were hosted by music journalist Fernandisco, with attendance from municipal and island authorities, and international artists on the lineup shared their experiences and memories of their hits with journalists, including Haddaway, Daisy Dee, K-Narias, and Lorna.

Music lovers are anticipating a vibrant weekend as Santa Cruz transforms into a hub of musical celebration, blending contemporary reggaeton beats with nostalgic ’90s tunes.
