Isla de Salsa 2025

  Artist Line-up

ISLA is evolving — stepping into a whole new chapter.

Where cultures collide, hearts dance, and the Isla spirit begins to roar!

From “watching” to “creating” — a festival you build together.

Leading the lineup is Tromboranga, one of the world’s top salsa bands, flying in from Barcelona, Spain. Their high-energy performance captures the true essence of salsa — beyond borders, beyond time.
The entire Nokonoshima campground turns into a stage, where reggae, Afro-Cuban, Asian traditional music, and other global beats come together in a powerful fusion of sounds.
Add to that the colorful “spices” each artist brings — and your own unique flavor as a participant — and what emerges is a one-of-a-kind world beat experience that echoes from Nokonoshima to the world.

This year too, performances will unfold across our three main venues: the Beat Stage, Sea House Stage, and Sky Stage — each with its own vibe.
Artist lineup and stage details will be announced as they are confirmed!
