OYE Fest 2025 Roars Back to Atlanta

As October approaches, Atlanta is gearing up for one of its most anticipated events of the year — OYE Fest 2025. This vibrant Latin music and arts festival promises to be bigger, bolder, and louder than ever, taking place right at the iconic Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Following a decade-long absence, OYE Fest is making a triumphant return to the heart of Atlanta, bringing with it an incredible lineup that unites power, passion, and cultural activism. This year, the festival is not just about the music; it’s a celebration of community, identity, and the arts, making it a must-attend event for all.

A Star-Studded Lineup

Headlining this year’s festival are some of Latin music's most electrifying acts.

• - Alexis y Fido, the reggaetón legends, will grace the stage with their high-energy performance, celebrating over 20 years of success in the Latin urban music scene.
• - Alvaro Díaz, the Puerto Rican sensation, known for his unique blend of hip-hop and reggaetón, is sure to get the crowd moving.
• - Snow Tha Product, a fierce advocate for women's rights and LGBTQ+ visibility, will bring her empowering lyrics and electrifying presence.
• - The emotional ballads of Macario Martinez, who transitioned from a street sweeper to a viral TikTok sensation, will resonate deeply with fans.
• - The genre-defying PabloPablo will offer a unique sonic experience, merging global sounds that challenge musical boundaries.

In total, more than 15 artists will join this remarkable lineup, shining the spotlight on both local and regional Latinx talents with live music, DJ sets, and vibrant dance performances.

A Cultural Movement Beyond Music

OYE Fest represents more than just a music event; it is a cultural movement that embraces diversity and community engagement. Highlights of this year’s festival include:

• - OYE Art Pavilion: An extensive showcase of artworks from both established and emerging Latinx visual artists, the pavilion will feature immersive installations that narrate the stories of Latin America's dynamic history and culture.
• - Latin America Food Hall: Guests can embark on a culinary journey, savoring tastes from various countries with dishes such as Venezuelan arepas, Colombian empanadas, and Mexican birria — each a passport stamp in the diverse world of Latin cuisine.
• - Community Marketplace: A lively hub featuring local artisans, entrepreneurs, and activists showcasing their crafts, sharing their stories, and advocating for social change.

A Mission with Impact

Founded by Latinx creators for the Latinx community, OYE Fest stands on four vital pillars:
1. Celebrating and Amplifying Latinx Voices: Ensuring authenticity and pride in representing a wide spectrum of Latinx artistry.
2. Fusing Arts with Activism: Championing causes related to immigrant rights and DACA in collaboration with organizations like United We Dream.
3. Creating Safe Spaces: Intentionally highlighting Afro-Latinx, queer, and women-identifying voices in the festival lineup.
4. Community Upliftment: Providing a nurturing platform for emerging talent, encapsulated by the motto “De Atlanta Pa' Atlanta.”

As founder Margarita Rios aptly states, "OYE Fest is not just a festival — it's a declaration. We're creating a space where Latin culture is celebrated and uplifted, because visibility leads to representation, and representation leads to change."
