Let’s meet the new chart-topping trio turning up the heat in Marbella this summer: Pop school legends Erreway set for July throwback Thursday July 17 First up, a blast from the noughties past: Erreway, the pop-rock sensation born from Argentina’s cult teen series Rebelde Way , are back and ready to roll. The band – fronted by Camila Bordonaba, Benjamín Rojas and Felipe Colombo – rose to global fame thanks to their catchy anthems and rebellious school spirit, proving that even strict academy rules couldn’t stifle their passion for music.
Now, they’re reuniting for the first time at Starlite, bringing their Latin flair and nostalgic energy to Marbella’s open-air stage. Say what you want – Texas are coming! Monday August 11 Next on the bill: Texas, the beloved Scottish rockers behind the timeless hit “I Don’t Want A Lover” , are making their first-ever appearance at the festival. Formed in 1986 in Glasgow, the band shot to fame in the late ‘80s and haven’t looked back since.
With over 40 million albums sold worldwide, Texas have cemented their status as pop-rock royalty, thanks to chart-toppers like “Say What You Want” , “Summer Son” and “Black Eyed Boy” . Their latest album, The Very Best Of 1989–2023 , is a nostalgia-packed celebration of their biggest hits – plus two brand-new tracks that show they’ve still got plenty to say. Expect singalongs and smiles all round when they hit Marbella in August.
It’s amore! Al Bano & Romina Power reunite under the stars Wednesday August 27 Bringing a touch of Mediterranean romance to the closing stretch of the summer lineup are Italian music legends Al Bano & Romina Power – an iconic duo both on and off stage. They met (and fell head over heels) in the 1960s, capturing hearts across Europe with their emotional ballads and undeniable chemistry. Now, decades later, they’re back together for a special one-night-only concert at Starlite – and they’re bringing a surprise guest: their son, Yari Carrisi Power.
It’s set to be a night of nostalgia, love songs, and timeless harmony – the perfect way to wrap up Marbella’s summer of music. So whether you’re into teen pop anthems, Scottish soul-rock or a touch of Italian romance, this year’s Starlite Festival is pulling out all the stops. With more acts still to be announced, one thing’s for sure – Marbella’s musical summer is shaping up to be an unforgettable one.
