Colombian singer Maluma has announced a three-day festival in his native city of Medellín.
The free-to-attend event will revolve around his sold-out hometown show, which is scheduled for this Saturday (26 April) at the Atanasio Girardot Stadium.
Ticketholders for the concert will be guaranteed access to the three-day festival (25–27 April) at the same venue, which will include activities, food courts, and brand activations.
Those without a concert ticket can enjoy the festival on Friday and Sunday by registering for free.
In 2022, Maluma drew an estimated 54,000 people to the Medallo En El Mapa show at the Atanasio Girardot Stadium
