Fuerza Régida, Lil Baby Will Headline JOP’s First-Ever Don’t Fall in Love Fest

Fuerza Régida is bringing a new festival to its hometown of San Bernardino. On Thursday, the band, fronted by singer/rapper JOP, announced that it will host and headline the first-ever Don’t Fall in Love Fest on Nov. 2, featuring top rap and musica mexicana artists.

Fuerza will headline the festival alongside Lil Baby and a “spectacular” legacy act headliner set to be announced on Oct. 7. The rap performers scheduled for the festival include Kodak Black, Sexyy Red, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Too $hort, and Lil Rob.

On the música mexicana side, Luis R Conriquez, Xavi, Chino Pacas, Los Rieleros del Norte, Larry Hernandez, and Mi Banda el Mexicano are also scheduled to perform.

Don’t Fall in Love is set to feature two stages: a main stage and a “Legends” stage, featuring the lineup’s legacy acts. Artists such as Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Too $hort, Baby Bash, Lil Rob, Los Rieleros del Norte, and Mi Banda el Mexicano will perform on the second stage. (The to-be-announced headliner will also play on the Legends stage.)

“I wanted to do something big for San Bernardino,” said JOP in a press release. “I’m bringing hope to the city with this festival.”

Tickets for the festival are set to go on sale on Friday, Oct. 4 at 2 p.m. PT. Ticket prices have yet to be revealed.

The festival stop will arrive near the end of Fuerza Régida’s successful Pero No Te Enamores tour, which includes dates in Southern California in mid-November. The band has scheduled performances in Arizona, Illinois, and Nashville through the end of the year.

The fest brings JOP closer to Lil Baby, an act he’s admired for years. When speaking to Rolling Stone in December 2022, he said his goal was to collaborate with the rapper. “I want a feature with Lil Baby,” he said at the time. “I respect the way he moves and the way he does his shit. He’s American, bro. I’m American. We just come from different places.”
