León’s performance is presented by Victoria Beer. Victoria Beer and Carin León share pride for their Mexican heritage. Victoria Beer is considered Mexico’s oldest beer brand, with a unique history beginning in Toluca. By continuing their partnership with León, the ultra-premium beer gives back to fans and celebrates the impact of Música Mexicana.
The performances by Vives and León are part of the six-day lineup of the 64th annual Vi?a 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.
Vives returns to Vi?a for a remarkable fifth time in his career, which spans dozens of hits that have played across the continent. He has placed 30 songs in the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, five of those reaching No. 1: “Fruta Fresca” (1999), “Déjame Entrar” (2001), “Luna Nueva” (2002), “Como Tú” (2004), and “Volví a Nacer (2012). His albums Déjame Entrar (2001), Corazón Profundo (2013), and Más + Corazón: Profundo Tour (2015) have topped the Top Latin Albums chart. Vives was also named the 2024 Latin Recording Academy Person Of The Year. Vives will perform with his full band, La Provincia, and also announced the launch of his Latin American tour this year.
Meanwhile, León will make his Vi?a del Mar debut, also performing with his full band from Hermosillo, Mexico. León has six No. 1 hits on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart with three of those entering the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2023: “Que Vuelvas” with Grupo Frontera, “Primera Cita,” and the Maluma-assisted “Según Quién.” The artist is taking the Vi?a stage just days after being one of the top winners at the 2025 Premio Lo Nuestro, where he nabbed five awards.
Vives and León are friends and recently released a collaboration, “La Chancleta,” also featuring Chimbala.
Vi?a will continue Thursday (Feb. 27) with performances by headliner Incubus and The Cult and wrapping on Friday (Feb. 28) with an urban night featuring headliner Duki, Eladio Carrión and Kid Voodoo. Marc Anthony, Bacilos, Myriam Hernández and Ha*Ash already performed earlier in the week, with Hernandez, a Chilean icon, receiving a platinum gaviota, the highest possible honor to be granted in Vi?a. Tuesday night’s performance, featuring Morat and Sebastian Yatra, was rescheduled for Saturday after a nationwide power outage.
All nights will be livestreamed in the United States on Billboard and Billboard Espa?ol. Performances can be viewed on the player in this story beginning at 7:15 p.m. ET.
