Torre del Mar is now ready to be filled with 'weekers' for three days of music and partying at the Weekend Beach Festival 2025, which kicks off this Thursday and runs until Saturday, July 12, at the fairgrounds of this coastal town in Vélez-Málaga. This is the tenth edition of the festival, which has become one of the essential summer events not only in the province of Málaga but also in Andalusia and throughout Spain, an event that also has a huge international projection.

This Wednesday, the details of this year's edition were announced at a press conference attended by Jesús Pérez Atencia, deputy mayor of Torre del Mar; Lourdes Piña, councilor for Popular Traditions; Genoveva Farraguts, representative of Cervezas Victoria; and Fátima Rodríguez, artistic director of the Weekend Beach Festival.

Atencia highlighted that "the festival is a prominent event within the national and international scene and has led to a real revolution in tourism for Torre del Mar and the municipality of Vélez-Málaga. And it continues to be so. Every year, we strive to offer our municipality an event that attracts thousands of people, with the participation of renowned musical groups from all genres, which adds a remarkable plus to our stunning beaches and unmatched climate."

"I make a call for responsibility to all attendees so that, during these days, we can enjoy this party safely and respectfully, making this event a memorable experience for everyone," he concluded.

For her part, Fátima Rodríguez, the festival's artistic director "has highlighted the trajectory of a festival that has created a 'brand' with its mix of styles and its clear commitment to coexistence among different generations and musical tastes." "Weekend Beach has positioned itself as one of the top national festivals that in these ten years has put Torre del Mar in the spotlight of international band and artist agencies, something unthinkable years ago. This year is a very special anniversary for the whole team that we want to live with all the 'weekers', with the same enthusiasm and excitement," she concluded.
