Bringing the best in Latin Music and Reggaeton to a beautiful beachside locale, Baja Beach Fest is the premier live showcase for one of music’s ascendant genres. After successfully expanding to two weekends in 2021, Baja Beach Fest announces its return to Rosarito Beach, MX, with a festival taking place over two weekends in 2022. Promising action-packed days of performances from Latin music’s biggest stars, Baja Beach Fest returns on August 12th-14th, 2022, with a second weekend on August 19th-21st, 2022.

Along with the date announcement, Baja Beach Fest shares part one of the Baja Beach Fest 2021 Aftermovie, showcasing the first-class artistry of the performers and the energy of the crowd. BBF 2021 boasted headlining performances Anuel AA, J Balvin, Ozuna, and Karol G, along with a red hot undercard led by Rauw Alejandro, Farruko, Jhay Cortez, Becky G, and many more. The after movie features kinetic footage of some of the most exciting sets from both weekends of the festival, as well as highlights like boxer and Guadalajara native Canelo Alvarez greeting the crowd during Balvin’s set, and Becky G’s one-of-a-kind performance with the legendary Banda MS. A triumphant return for live Latin Music after a long pandemic, Baja Beach Fest 2021 was the first Latin American music festival to return in 2021, and the first festival in any location to be granted permission by the local government to successfully and safely complete a second weekend.

Founded by Chris Den Uijl and Aaron Ampudia as a single-day festival before expanding to two weekends in 2021, Baja Beach Fest is already an institution in the global music industry, with plans of even greater expansion on the horizon. Stay tuned for more announcements from the fast-growing festival brand in the near future.

Freddie Jackson, the R'n'B singer behind You Are My Lady and Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake), has died at the age of 70.

He passed away on Monday (05.10.26), just three days after celebrating his 70th birthday. A cause of death has not been announced.

Announcing his death on social media, his family wrote: "It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Freddie Jackson, who went home to rest last night.

"Freddie was more than a legendary voice. He was a kind, generous soul who loved his fans, his family, his friends, and his music with everything he had. For decades, he gave us the songs that became the soundtrack to our love stories, our celebrations, and our most treasured memories. That gift will live on forever.

"To everyone who ever sang along, danced, or felt something when Freddie took the stage: thank you. You were family to him, and he carried your love with him always.

"Please keep his family, friends, and loved ones in your prayers during this difficult time. Details regarding arrangements and how to honor his legacy will be shared in the coming days.

"Rest in peace, Freddie. Your legacy and your voice will live on forever."

Freddie began his professional music journey in the late 1970s as a member of California funk band Mystic Merlin. He later moved back to the East Coast and found his direction in R'n'B.

A string of successful releases in the mid 1980s established him as one of the genre’s leading singers. Rock Me Tonight (For Old Times Sake), You Are My Lady, Have You Ever Loved Somebody, Jam Tonight and Do Me Again became some of his best known songs and earned him a lasting presence on the US charts.

His career also extended to cinema. He joined Irene Cara for the duet Love Survives, featured in the 1989 animated film All Dogs Go to Heaven, and later made an acting appearance in the cult crime drama King of New York.

Freddie continued making music for decades, with his last album, Love Signals, arriving in 2018. He followed it in 2020 with Why, a single addressing racial injustice.
