Starlite Festival is celebrated in Marbella from the 23rd of July until the 24th of August at Cantera de Nagüeles, a quarry turned auditorium. The sound system is of the highest quality, and the stage is surrounded by 60 metre-high walls which create an incredible atmosphere beneath a marvellous sky full of stars.

The Starlite Festival is the only Spanish festival that lasts for a month, and last year´s edition is considered one of the most important social events in Spain, bringing  together politicians, intellectuals and famous people. On the 10th of August the IV edition of the Starlite Gala will also take place. It will be presented by Antonio Banderas and will feature Alejandro Sanz, Marta Sanchez, Sara Baras and Roko.

In a very short period of time it became one of the most talked about festivals in Europe, being compared on an international level with the Monte Carlo Sporting Summer Festival, which is probably the most prestigious event in Europe. Part of this success is due to the close relationships that the artists have with each other and the concerts they attend in such an intimate and exclusive venue.

The VIP attendees sit in the Bubble Boxes, where they can enjoy a bottle of champagne with their friends while watching the concerts. Additionally, they have access to the Gray Goose 'Le Privee' lounge, where they can enjoy an exclusive variety of cocktails and socialize with this year´s Starlite Festival headliners: Alejandro Sanz, Julio Iglesias, Valeria Mazza, Marta Sanchez and Sara Baras.

As for the tourist sector, this festival is considered a Marca Española (a 'Spanish Brand'), playing a central role in the economy by creating more than 300 jobs and contracts with local enterprises, as well as an international cash boost provided by the foreigners who spend on accommodation, restaurants and other facilities. Last year´s economic impact was more than 25 million euros, with 1 in 3 attendees of the festival being a foreign non-resident of the Costal del Sol.
