The Don’t Fall in Love Fest is set to return to the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, California, on November 22, 2025, promising a groundbreaking fusion of música mexicana and hip-hop music. This highly anticipated second annual festival, a brainchild of Jesús Ortiz Paz (JOP), frontman of the acclaimed group Fuerza Regida and CEO of Street Mob Records, aims to celebrate the dynamic intersection of these two powerful genres.
Headliners and Expanded Lineup
This year’s Don’t Fall in Love Fest boasts an impressive roster of headliners, including global rap superstar Future, regional Mexican titans Banda MS, and influential hip-hop artist Chief Keef. Alongside them, Fuerza Regida themselves will take the stage, marking a significant presence for the festival’s founder. The expanded lineup reaches across genres and generations, featuring a diverse array of talent such as Los Tucanes de Tijuana, Saweetie, Snow Tha Product, and the legendary DJ Quik.
Other notable performers set to grace the festival’s stages include Clave Especial, Victor Mendivil, Oscar Maydon, Legado 7, Línea Personal, Mi Banda El Mexicano, Banda Machos, Chuyin, Baby Bash, Lil’ Rob, MC Magic, Peysoh, J.I Bandz, and KINGMOSTWANTED. This eclectic mix underscores the festival’s mission to unite different fan bases and create a unique musical experience.
A Unique Cultural Experience
The festival’s theme, a blend of música mexicana and rap, is a deliberate effort to break down genre barriers and celebrate the vibrant culture of the Inland Empire and beyond. Jesús Ortiz Paz stated, “Don’t Fall in Love Fest is back, and we’re coming back with full force. Neton, Future, Chief Keef, Banda MS, música mexicana meets rap across two stages. No one has done anything like this before, and after last year’s success, we can’t wait for fans to come celebrate the music, the culture, and the energy with us”.
This year’s festival will feature an enhanced production, including two full-production stages and a new club dome equipped with state-of-the-art sound and lighting, ensuring a continuous party atmosphere. The inaugural Don’t Fall in Love Fest in 2024 drew over 20,000 attendees, establishing itself as a major event and a historic first for San Bernardino in hosting such a large-scale festival. The festival draws its name from Fuerza Regida’s eighth studio album, “Pero No Te Enamores”.
Impact and Community Focus
Founded by JOP, the festival is not only a platform for music but also a commitment to the San Bernardino community. A portion of the festival’s proceeds will support charitable initiatives, including immigration legal aid for the Latin community. This dedication to giving back further solidifies the festival’s role as a cultural cornerstone.
