Lanzarote doesn't get many nights like this. For one July weekend the Recinto Ferial in Arrecife turns into a proper open-air arena, with a big main stage and the kind of sound rig you'd expect on the mainland. Friday belongs to Juan Luis Guerra and Ana Mena; Saturday brings Nicky Jam and Nathy Peluso, so expect a heavy lean towards Latin pop and reggaeton, plenty of singalongs, and a crowd that knows every word.

It's an easy one to do as a visitor. Turn up with your ticket, grab a hot dog and chips between sets, and there's a festival village and merch stands if you fancy a wander. There's an Orange Point on site for anyone with reduced mobility or extra access needs, plus a Violet Point as a safe space if anything goes wrong. Buy day tickets or a weekend pass through Tickety in advance, as prices aren't posted on the festival's own page.
