Change of location, same party spirit: Saiko lights up the Boombastic

Saiko turned his Friday concert into a whirlwind of emotions and energy at Boombastic Málaga. There were tears among the audience chanting along... as he got the entire venue jumping with unstoppable intensity. From the moment the first chords of 'Bad Gyal' played, it was clear that the night was his. He got everyone dancing with the salsa remix of 'Las Bratz' and raised his voice to unite Málaga and Granada as "brothers".

And then it happened: Julen, the 10-year-old boy who climbed on stage with Dei V, became the star of the show again, but this time with Saiko. The ovation was thunderous. The flashes lit up the moment, turning it into one of those unforgettable festival snapshots. With 'Cosas que no te dije', he asked the audience to accompany him with lights only, and in 'Supernova' he asked them to put away their phones to create a real and unique connection.

This was the highlight of a Friday that confirmed that Boombastic Málaga had once again lit up the city with an edition marked by a change of location: from Estepona to the capital, with a new venue, the Málaga Forum, which since Thursday was filled with colors, lights, and attendees finding their spot among the food trucks, merchandise stalls, and the Winamax stand, which looked like a spaceship ready to take off with its dance atmosphere. The heat was combated with cold beer, makeshift shade, and a desire to be in the front row.

The atmosphere was good, with an enthusiastic crowd and vibrant spaces, but it was noticeable that there was less attendance than expected. Probably the location change from Estepona to Málaga, announced only a week before, deterred some attendees. There were no crowds and it was easy to walk between stages, bars, and rest areas, giving a sense of a comfortable and well-organized festival, although somewhat quieter than many imagined.

The opening on Thursday was a triumphant entry. Savai and Ramma kicked off the afternoon and lifted the spirits of the early birds. Elena Rose, with her sweet voice and fresh style, added a different touch before Dei V and Luck Ra turned it into a massive choir.

When Trueno came out, the audience was already devoted: his charisma, his bars, and that relentless energy shook the stage. The night ended with Xina Mora, whose session of beats kept everyone's feet on the ground only to jump again.

Friday was another story. More people, more heat, more eagerness. DJ Sevi Sánchez and Zeballos started strong and paved the way for Lit Killah, who received a huge ovation when he shouted: "You always make me feel at home when I'm here."

The atmosphere was so fired up that any excuse was good for singing, dancing, or clinking glasses of Jägermeister. With Ovy on the Drums, the crowd exploded. His session was a journey through his most famous collaborations and his mix of tropical and urban rhythms, impossible to listen to without moving.

At that time, the venue was a mix of happy exhaustion and euphoria. The lights of the Winamax stand kept spinning, the rest area was an improvised oasis of laughter and quick bites, and the feeling that the party should never end permeated everything.

But the closing was reserved for Gordo, who at 1 in the morning started his session as if there were still a thousand energies in every corner. And there were. Boombastic said goodbye to this day with one last hour of wild dancing, sweaty hugs, and the promise to return even stronger in the following days.
