You’ll come to the 2021 Hot & Spicy Fest for the fire in your mouth – but you just may end up staying for the straight fire on the stage!

Be prepared to go wild!

We’ve got a heck of a lineup prepared for both days of this year’s Latin American-themed fest (remember – the fest will be held this Saturday and Sunday, May 15 and 16 from 11am-8pm – there is no fest on Friday). Check out the performers below who will be sure to have you dancing like it’s the Salsa, Tango, Cha-Cha, Mambo, Samba, etcétera.

Special thanks to JSS, the lovely food and grocery delivery app who are sponsoring this year's fest.

DJ Super Ed

Afrobeat, dancehall, hip-hop and Latino – Super Ed spins it all, and he’s kicking off the fest each morning to the delight of early comers. If you like what you hear, be sure to check out his originals, including his two Afrobeat singles.

Peppercorn

The premiere art-rock band of China, Peppercorn’s piano and guitar will hit you like a chili to the face, then melt in your mouth like a spicy chocolate.

La Clave

You may have seen these Cuban and Ecuadorian musicians rocking the stage around the capital over the past three years – now, La Clave (“the key” in English) is bringing their healthy mix of salsa, merengue, cumbia, reggaeton, and Brazilian tunes to Hot & Spicy Fest.

Sexy Mamacitas

This duo is bringing Cuban dance to the stage! You won’t want to miss out.

Chili Pepper Eating Contest

The highlight of the fest! Gather round to watch tears pour down faces as contestants try to swallow progressively hotter peppers (and the audience gets to try them too!) Think you’ve got what it takes? Learn how to participate here.

Haus of Lily

These Queens know what the people want – and what the people want is amazing drag!

Latin Rockers

Already a Beijinger festival fave, we couldn’t have a Latin-themed fest without the Latin Rockers! Their upbeat bilingual stylings bring the party every time, and the crowd always finds themselves jumping along.

Perfect Mix

True to their name, singer El Samu and keyboardist Publio will arrive in the evening to mix things up! Jazz, pop, funk, and Latin – you never know what they're going to play next, but you can be sure it will be a good time.

SAZON Burning Salsa

If you found yourself inspired by the moves of the Sexy Mamacitas, then here’s your chance to shine – Sazon will be bringing up members of the crowd for a Salsa dance-off!

DJ Arquitect

If you’ve ever been to a Beijinger festival, you know that DJ Arquitect knows how to finish off the party! Head up on stage and dance your heart out to the tunes of the most popular Latin DJ in town.
