The first Latino evening in the history of the Summer Festival, which the singer of Puerto Rican origin himself was impatiently awaiting, was therefore unable to make it to the finish line.
The rain started to fall at the end of singer Becky G’s concert as opening act.
The rains quickly intensified and following some lightning and thunder, the organization of the Summer Festival ordered the evacuation of the site, around 9:20 p.m.
The other outdoor stages of the FEQ, where Lil Tecca and Gros Mené performed, were also evacuated.
Luis Fonsi therefore suffered the same fate as the Foo Fighters in 2015 and Imagine Dragons in 2019, except that he did not even have time to sing a single song.
But all was not lost. A few hundred privileged people were treated to Fonsi’s performance, dry inside the Mange militaire. The show, however, had not started at the time of this writing.

Singer Becky G offered a flamboyant opening performance.
It’s a shame because the evening was off to a good start. The young Califonian Becky G, a true star of Spanish pop and reggaeton with her songs that have received hundreds of millions of listens, offered one of the most flamboyant opening acts for the FEQ.
After letting her DJ heat up the crowd for regarding ten minutes, the 25-year-old artist pulled out all the stops as soon as we saw her show up to the sound of so-and-so, the first title on the program. A troupe of energetic dancers, jets of flame and smoke, bright red costumes, exciting rhythms, the spectators knew immediately that they would have few opportunities to catch their breath.

The only time the singer slowed down, she went down to the floor to perform the ballad Dolores shaking hands. Some admirers might barely contain their emotions at seeing her so close.
The party then resumed and Becky G was able to put on her successes Showerof sad circumstances, and Mamiii before the flood hits the Plains.

Was it the first part of Luis Fonsi or an extension of the electro evening the day before? One thing is certain, the Colombian DJ Alex Sensation, who does not even have a Wikipedia page yet, led a party from hell at the start of the evening.
By alternating house, Latin and rock classic hits, ranging from LMFAO to Queen via Bad Bunny, Alex Sensation kept his world alert from the beginning to the end of his performance by creating an all-inclusive atmosphere on the Plains. The festival-goers near the stage danced and sang at the top of their lungs.
As a warm-up session, you might hardly ask for more.
