There’s a star-studded lineup ahead for the 2025 Festival La Onda, which is set to return to downtown Napa on May 31 and June 1.

Marco Antonio Solis, Banda MS, Pepe Aguilar, Carin León and Grupo Firme are the headliners for the second annual two-day Latin music celebration, which will be presented at Napa Valley Expo by the same team behind the immensely popular BottleRock Napa Festival.

Other acts on the 2025 bill include Xavi, Tito Double P, Yuridia, Chino Pacas, La Receta, Camila Fernández, Los Aptos, Sonora Tropicana, MAR, Edgar Alejandro, Christian Nava, Eden Muñoz, Codiciado, Oscar Maydon, Ángela Aguilar, Clave Especial, Alicia Villarreal, Michelle Maciel, Reyna Tropical, Miguel Cornejo, Erre, Los De La 4, Adriana Ríos and Ysrael Barajas. The individual daily lineups are listed below.

Tickets, which start at $218, will go on sale at noon on Nov. 15 at LaOndaFest.com.

The lineup is an incredibly solid mix of Latin music styles, ranging from regional Mexican to various kinds of pop.

There are a lot of big names on the bill, but the one that really jumps off the page is Marco Antonio Solis, the singer-songwriter who co-founded the legendary group Los Bukis back in the mid-’70s. Solis went on to fashion an amazing solo career that has resulted in numerous awards and tens of millions of albums sold.

La Onda made its debut in 2024, drawing large crowds for a two-day bill that promised Maná, Fuerza Regida, Alejandro Fernández, Junior H, Farruko, Eslabon Armado, Café Tacvba, Los Ángeles Azules, Mon Laferte, Gabito Ballesteros, Danna Paola and more.

The 2025 La Onda takes place the weekend after BottleRock, which will be May 23-25, at the same site. The two festivals share much of the same staging and other infrastructure. The 2025 BottleRock lineup has yet to be announced, but usually arrives in early January.

Here are the individual daily lineups for La Onda:

May 31 >> Marco Antonio Solis, Banda MS, Pepe Aguilar, Xavi, Tito Double P, Yuridia, Chino Pacas, La Receta, Camila Fernández, Los Aptos, Sonora Tropicana, MAR, Edgar Alejandro and Christian Nava

June 1 >> Carin León, Grupo Firme, Eden Muñoz, Codiciado, Oscar Maydon, Ángela Aguilar, Clave Especial, Alicia Villarreal, Michelle Maciel, Reyna Tropical, Miguel Cornejo, Erre, Los De La 4, Adriana Ríos and Ysrael Barajas
