The headliners for the Mala Luna Music Festival are as follows:

In addition to keeping with the event’s tradition of offering a variety of the most sought-after hip-hop and EDM acts in music. Set to headline the 2018 stage will include the Bronx-native emcee Cardi B, who many consider to be today’s “Queen of Rap” following the massive success of her debut studio album, Invasion of Privacy, earlier this year, which was led by several #1 hits such as “Bodak Yellow”, “Bartier Cardi” and “I Like It”; as well as the Latin Grammy-nominated rapper-singer Nicky Jam, who released Fenix last year, marking the end to a decade-long hiatus in music. Nicky most recently performed alongside rapper/actor/producer Will Smith to one of the largest audiences of all time at the closing ceremony of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Moscow, Russia. Also set to headline Mala Luna 2018 is LA-based rapper and producer Tyler, The Creator, who continues to perform in support of his 2017 album, Flower Boy, which received praise from critics and fans alike, including a nomination for “Best Rap Album” at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards.

Additional performers set to grace the Mala Luna stage:

Viral sensation-turned-actress/singer Becky G, who is scheduled to release her debut project later in 2018, which will include two full-length albums – one of which will be entirely in Spanish and completely unlike the English-speaking sister album; along with some of the biggest American DJ’s performing today, including two Los Angeles-based producers, Dillon Francis, who is currently prepping for the release of his next album which is said to heavily feature Latin and Spanish-language music, and Deorro, who released his long-awaited debut album, Good Evening, late last year; in addition to the Miami-based electronic music duo GTA.
