EL PASO, TX, UNITED STATES, February 27, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Independent Nation, the new entertainment venue in the Southwest Borderland, presents Michelada Fest as its inaugural pop-up event. The street festival will feature major headlining acts, including Netón Vega and Chino Pacas, for an unforgettable concert experience in Downtown El Paso on May 3.

Michelada Fest is a unique and authentic celebration of Latin culture, created by Latinos for Latinos. Originating from Chicago’s leading Latino music festival, the creators of Michelada Fest in partnership with Independent Nation, are bringing the heat to El Paso with a powerhouse lineup featuring chart-topping artists like Netón Vega, Chino Pacas, Snow Tha Product, Calle 24, Jasiel Nuñez, Tito Torbellino Jr. and Saul Villarreal. Fans will enjoy an unforgettable night filled with the sounds of música mexicana, dancing, drinks, and non-stop enjoyment.

Netón Vega, touted as música mexicana’s next superstar is set to make one of his first highly anticipated U.S. performances at Michelada Fest, marking a major milestone in his rapidly rising career. His debut album, Mi Vida Mi Muerte, has taken the charts by storm propelling him to unprecedented success. Upon its release, the album quickly dominated at #1 in Mexico and reached #8 globally on Spotify, captivating fans' hearts and conquering digital platforms alike. His hit “Loco” secured a spot in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart and he was recently named one of Billboard’s “Artists to Watch.” Netón is expanding his global reach with his innovative style, blending corridos, reggaetón, trap, and baladas románticas. Fans can expect an unforgettable performance featuring chart-topping hits like “Loco” and “Morena,” along with tracks from his record-breaking album.

“Independent Nation Presents is excited to bring Michelada Fest to the heart of Downtown El Paso where the Borderland can come together to celebrate culture, music, and connection,” says Jonathan Figueroa, Principal at Independent Nation. “Events like this are just the beginning, and we can’t wait to continue expanding and bringing these types of experiences that highlight the spirit of our region. This is everything that our flagship venue, Independent Nation, plans to bring to the community once construction is completed.”

The inaugural one-day fest is set to be the hottest festival in the desert, bringing a vibrant atmosphere and true fiesta to Downtown El Paso. The iconic Michelada is at the heart of the festival, embodying authentic Mexican tradition and offering festivalgoers a refreshing taste of culture alongside music and festivities.
