The iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina festival celebrated its inaugural event last year to the delight of Hispanic artists and music lovers nationwide. Taking place at The Forum in Inglewood, California, the iHeartRadio festival honed in on this particular culture due to the prevalence and popularity of latin music in general.
John Sykes, president of entertainment enterprises for iHeartMedia, says, "Latin music has shown incredible growth on iHeartRadio--so we decided to use the great format and cultural firepower of the iHeartRadio Music Festival to create a festival that celebrates these great artists and their music. Bringing this caliber of Hispanic artists together for a night of incredible performances will be an experience you can’t see anywhere else." That is exactly what the iHeartRadio Fiesta Latina festival does.
