The inaugural edition of Festival La Onda brings two days of Latin music and food to the North Bay this weekend with headliners Alejandro Fernández, Junior H, Fuerza Regida, Maná and more. Announced by the organizers of BottleRock last November , the festival will use much of the same staging and infrastructure already set up at the Napa Valley Expo for the annual Memorial Day weekend music fest that was held last weekend . Napa-based production company Latitude 38 Entertainment that runs the successful BottleRock Napa Valley festival saw that there was a gap in Bay Area music events that they could cater to with a Latin-focused weekend music fest, and Festival La Onda was born.
The festival features a wide range of acts touching on everything from regional Mexican, Latin pop, rock en Español, música norteña, cumbia and reggaeton. Organizers are taking a page from Another Planet Entertainment's playbook, as that promoter this year has partnered with San Francisco officials to host additional summer concerts in Golden Gate Park that using the main stage already set up for Outside Lands . The first concert announced, a co-headlining show with System of a Down and Deftones, quickly sold out.
The first edition of Festival La Onda will be held on Saturday and Sunday, June 1-2. The festival gates open at 11 a.m.
with the headlining acts scheduled to ends at 10 p.m., the same curfew placed on BottleRock.
While general admission single-day tickets are already sold out for S.
