J Balvin, Daddy Yankee, Becky G, and Kali Uchis will headline the inaugural Viva! LA Music Festival, taking place at Dodger Stadium on June 25.
Viva! LA Music Festival Has a Mission of Building Community & Representation
Produced by Goldenvoice, who also host Coachella and Stagecoach, the Los Angeles event is a spinoff of the Pomona-based Viva! Festival, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year.
Rene Contreras originally created Viva! a decade ago. Above all, he wanted to bring resources to his hometown in Southern California via backyard shows and gigs at local spots. “Viva! goes beyond just a music festival. It has a strong mission of building community and representation; which has led to its cult following that started in L.A. and has since gone global,” according to a press release. Additionally, “The fest celebrates those often overshadowed immigrants, the youth of color, the underserved, the working class in the suburbs; various marginalized communities and artists that have long been pushed out of the larger anglo music arena.”

Additionally, the festival will donate $1 of every ticket sold to the Los Angeles-based nonprofit No Us Without You LA; which is committed to feeding L.A.’s undocumented immigrant communities. Launched in the pandemic, in other words, the volunteer-run organization now provides support to “hundreds of food insecure hospitality; day laborers, street vendors, and mariachi families.”
