Marc Anthony will kick of the 2025 Viña del Mar International Song Festival, performing Sunday (Feb. 23) at the Quinta Vergara amphitheater in the coastal city of Viña del Mar in Chile.
The salsa superstar will perform with his whole band as part of his Historias tour, in what will be his fourth appearance at the festival. Viña del Mar, which is celebrating its 64th edition, previously hosted Anthony in 2009, 2012 and 2019.
Anthony headlines the first of six nights of stacked performances that will be streamed in the U.S. exclusively on Billboard.com and Billboardespanol.com. He is slated to perform approximately at 7:45 p.m. ET, followed by pop/tropical duo Bacilos at approximately 11:15 p.m. ET.
Both performances are part of the nightly Viña del Mar broadcast, which year after year is Chile’s highest-rated television show. Each night features a headliner, a supporting artist, a comedian and an international song festival in folk and pop categories, where contestants compete every night for a winner in each.
Sunday’s performance will kick off with Anthony, and will be followed by a set from Venezuelan comedian George Harris, the song competition, and Bacilos as the grand finale.
Led by Jorge Villamizar and André Lopes, Bacilos gained fame in the early 2000s with a series of hits including “Tabaco y Chanel,” and “Caraluna.” With a discography that includes six studio albums, two compilations and two EPs, the Miami-based band has earned a Grammy and five Latin Grammys. Last year, they released their newest album, Pequeños Romances.
Viña will continue Monday (Feb. 24) with performances by headliner Myriam Hernández and sibling duo Ha*Ash; Feb. 25 with Colombian’s Morat headlining and Sebastian Yatra; Feb. 26 with Carlos Vives headlining and Carín León; Feb. 27 with Incubus, Juan Carlos López and The Cult; and Feb. 28, urban night, with headliner Duki, Eladio Carrión and Kid Voodoo.
