Viva LA Music Festival has announced a one-day festival set to take place at LA's Dodger Stadium on June 25. Viva had launched its Viva Pomona annual festival 10 years ago and is now celebrating its anniversary through Viva LA Music Festival.
Rene Contreras originally created the fest a decade ago to bring resources to his hometown in Southern California via backyard shows and gigs at local spots.
Viva LA Music Festival is a one-day event produced by Goldenvoice and has a lineup that includes Daddy Yankee, J Balvin, Becky G, and Kali Uchis as headliners for the inaugural event.
The multi-genre fest will also feature performances by Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Lenin Ramirez, Carin Leon Tainy, and Carla Morrison, among others.
A press release of the festival reads:
“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.
It continued:
“The fest celebrates those often overshadowed immigrants, 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.”
The presale for the Viva LA Music Festival tickets will begin on Saturday, April 2, at 10:00 AM PT. Fans can register for the presale of the tickets with their mobile number and receive an exclusive presale code and link to buy passes before they go on sale Saturday.
Tickets will be available for the general public on the same day at 2:00 PM. Tickets are priced from $200 – $650 + service fees.
More information about the event can be gathered from the official website of Viva Music festival. The venue gates open at 11AM and the curfew is until 11PM.

More about the Viva LA Music Festival
The music festival will donate $1 of every ticket sold to the Los Angeles-based nonprofit No Us Without You LA. The volunteer-run organization now supports “hundreds of food insecure hospitality, day laborers, street vendors, and mariachi families.”
Viva LA Music Festival's mission is to build community and representation and to celebrate those from underserved communities. This is the first time in its 10-year history that the music festival will occur outside of Pomona.
