The best atmosphere and the best electronic dance music. These are the two major claims that Los Álamos Beach Festival uses to warn us that we are facing the best edition of its history. And they are right. The location change is better for everyone: more and better space, more comfort, greater accessibility and, of course, more music. The large line-up prepared by the Andalusian festival is divided into four stylistic proposals that allow us to trace an interesting journey among the most demanded trends by the scene. From August 1st to 5th, along three major stages, Estepona will dance to the rhythm of the best DJs on the planet.

The EDM sound (most commercial side of electronic music) will feature artists like the Swedish Steve Angello, one of the acclaimed Swedish House Mafia founders, or Armin van Buuren, the trance king and the one who has helped the most to introduce this style to a large audience. The Dutch W&W, the Spanish Danny Avila and other important names, some of them legendary, such as Fedde Le Grand, Dimitri Vangelis & Wyman, Firebeatz, Yves V and Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano complete the list of headliners in the sector called “Mainstream” by the organization.

Alternative electronic music lovers have an appointment with the “Underground” sector, commanded by Marco Carola. The Italian, creator of the famous brand MusicOn, will bring with himself his cheerful and dancy tech-house rhythms, a task in which Matthias Tanzmann, Camelphat (creator of the great hit ‘Cola’) and national talents Dennis Cruz and Héctor Couto will help. The young Chelina Manuhutu and the Italian Marco Faraone, one of the most outstanding names of the last year on Drumcode label, complete the list.

“Urban & Live Acts”, meanwhile, brings together the most famous trap and reggaetón voices. The hits ‘Amorfoda’ or ‘Estamos Bien’ by Bad Bunny, ‘Lo Siento’ by Beret and ‘Pa ‘Mejor’ by Dellafuente are some of the songs that, for sure, we will be able to enjoy at Los Álamos, together with some of the best tracks by Arkano and Seguridad Social. The most remember music faithful fans will not have doubts about crowding at the “Special Stage”. There, the superstar DJ Nano will put Estepona upside down with his Oro Viejo party, which will also feature Sensity World and Tina Cousins, among others.

A crowd of local artists will also be at the festival opening each of the five days and completing the line-up of the three stages that, for five days, will allow EDM, trap, reggaetón, techno, house and remember to gather fans of modern electronic music in what is undoubtedly the best festival in southern Spain.
