Day 1

La Onda is back and better than ever! On May 31, 2025, the festival grounds exploded with color, music, and pure joy as fans poured in for the second annual celebration of Latin music and culture.

From the very first beat, the energy was contagious. Marco Antonio Solís had everyone swaying and singing their hearts out, proving why he’s a legend. Banda MS took the stage next, turning the crowd into a sea of dancing and cheers with their signature Sinaloan rhythms. Then came Pepe Aguilar, who wowed everyone with his powerhouse vocals and magnetic stage presence.

But the fun didn’t stop there! Rising stars like Xavi, Tito Double P, and Chino Pacas kept the party going, bringing fresh sounds and youthful vibes that had the whole place buzzing.

The air was filled with the mouthwatering smells of tacos and churros, and festivalgoers could catch glimpses of Aztec dancers and even some wild wrestling matches. Everywhere you looked, there was something to see, taste, or dance to!

Day 1 of La Onda 2025 was a non-stop celebration, a true fiesta for the senses. If this is how the weekend starts, we can’t wait to see what’s next!

Day 2

Day two of La Onda 2025 kept the party going strong! The crowd was buzzing as Oscar Maydon hit the stage, getting everyone hyped up with his catchy tunes. Codiciado followed, bringing tons of energy and making sure nobody was standing still for long. Eden Muñoz kept the good times rolling, playing hit after hit and keeping the crowd singing along.

But the night wasn’t without its surprises. Everyone was looking forward to Grupo Firme’s headline set, but unfortunately, they couldn’t make it because of visa issues tied to the Trump administration. It was a letdown for sure, but the festival spirit didn’t fade, fans just kept the party going and made the most of the night.

One of the most memorable moments came from Carin León. Even though he was dealing with some vocal issues, he still took the stage and gave it his all for the fans. You could really feel his dedication, he pushed through and the crowd absolutely loved him for it.

All in all, Day 2 was full of great music, unexpected moments, and a whole lot of heart. Even with a few bumps in the road, La Onda proved once again that nothing can stop a good time!
