Fuerza Regida Announces Don’t Fall in Love Fest With Los ángeles Azules, Lil Baby & More
UPDATE (Oct. 7): Fuerza Regida recently unveiled their second headliner, Mexican cumbia icons Los ángeles Azules.
Mexican music merges with rap in Fuerza Regida‘s groundbreaking new project. The entrepreneurs of the San Bernardino band first announced their inaugural Don’t Fall In Love Fest on Thursday (Oct. 3), a nod to their latest Jersey corridos album Pero No Te Enamores — which similarly blends Jersey club and hip-hop with a corridos bélicos mindset.

A homecoming of sorts, the Nov. 2 event at the NOS Event Center will be Fuerza Regida’s first performance in their hometown of San Bernardino since 2018.
The festival that Fuerza will headline showcase a dynamic array of stars from both the OG Cali rap scene, hip-hop new heads and Latin music superstars. The SoCal band recruits cumbia legends Los ángeles Azules to be the festival’s third headliner, gracing the “Legends” stage, joining Lil Baby as the second.
The lineup also includes high-profile names such as Kodak Black, Luis R. Conriquez, Chino Pacas, Sexy Red, Xavi, and Clave Especial. Also gracing the stage will be Los Rieleros del Norte, Mi Banda El Mexicano, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Too $hort, Roberto Tapia, Larry Hernandez, MC Magic, Baby Bash, and Lil Rob.
“I wanted to do something big for San Bernardino,” said Fuerza Regida frontman JOP (real name Jesús Ortiz Paz) in a press release. “I’m bringing hope to the city with this festival.”
Fuerza have earned plenty of critical praise. The group are finalists for eight 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards, including artist of the year, Top Latin Album of the year and regional Mexican album of the year for their 2023 Pa Las Baby’s Y La Belikeada, and more. Additionally, JOP is up for songwriter of the year and producer of the year. Last year, the quintet made Billboard history by becoming the first Latin band ever to be crowned No. 1 on the Top Artists – Duo/Group list of Billboard‘s year-end charts.
