Bésame Mucho — a major Latin music and arts festival — will not move ahead with its 2024 iteration in Los Angeles, management said in a statement Monday. The Austin festival scheduled for April 2025, is still expected to occur.
The announcement comes less than a month before the festival was set to begin on Dec. 21. Would-be attendees who purchased tickets directly from the festival will be refunded, according to the statement.
Shakira, Pitbull, and Enrique Iglesias were among the artists set to headline Bésame Mucho 2024. Banda MS, Los Tigres del Norte, Los Tucanes de Tijuana, and Caifanes were also on the roster. The cancellation was announced shortly after Shakira postponed her fall tour to the summer of 2025 in order to book larger venues.
The singer’s original schedule would have had her in L.A. during the festival. Organizers blamed the cancellation on “circumstances beyond our control.”
