“Whenever, Wherever” is crystal clear: Shakira is headed to the Sueños festival on May 24 as part of the two-day Latin music fest in Grant Park, it was announced Tuesday.
The Colombian superstar, who picked up a Grammy win on Sunday night for best Latin pop album for “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran,” headlines the first day of the fest, which will also feature a previously announced special performance by Peso Pluma. (Pluma’s set last year was canceled due to heavy rain storms.)
Also on the Saturday lineup: Arcangel, El Alfa, Oscar Maydon, Gordo, Dei V, Maria Becerra, El Malilla, NSQK, DJ Luian, Caleb Calloway, Reggaetonlandia, Chan and DJ Fredy Fresco.
Headlining day two on May 25 is Puerto Rican rapper-reggaeton star Don Omar, with a special performance by música Mexicana band Grupo Frontera.
Wisin, Jhayco, Tito Double P, Deorro, Kapo, Omar Courtz, Bellakath, Gonzy, Legallyrxx, Sorry Papi, 3Ballmty, Victor Cardenas and Dynamiqo round out the Sunday lineup.
This year’s festival will feature two stages and a designated dance zone, as well as a full complement of food vendors, bar areas, seating and live-streaming screens throughout the park. More than 60,000 fans packed Grant Park each day of the 2024 festival, which will make its home at the lakefront site through 2029 as part of a five-year agreement with the city and the Chicago Park District.
