La Solar Medellín has begun to reveal the heavy artillery for its 2026 edition. The organizers confirmed that J Álvarez, one of the pillars of reggaeton at a global level, and Crudo Means Raw, an absolute reference for the national independent sound, are the first big names that will headline the poster next Saturday, May 2.
This year, the festival marks a milestone in its evolution by moving to the Atanasio Girardot Sports Complex. This new venue will allow for more ambitious production and greater capacity, without sacrificing the vibrant and close atmosphere that has made La Solar a benchmark for partying in Latin America.
The perfect contrast: Perreo and organic lyrics
The inclusion of J Álvarez ensures a night full of nostalgia and energy with generational anthems like “La Question” and “Junto al Amanecer.” For its part, Crudo Means Raw will contribute the share of urban sophistication with its proposal that navigates between hip hop and R&B, bringing hits like “No Copio” and “Aurora” to the stage.
