The BPM Festival: Costa Rica is making an emphatic return with a highly-anticipated weekend of revelry at their flagship spiritual home. Maturing from a small-scale gathering for industry professionals into a go-to destination for music lovers all over the world, BPM remains true to its roots, and for its next venture, fans can expect their signature decor and cutting-edge production, as well as a few firsts for the illustrious brand. In addition to its stellar phase 1 lineup names, the festival looks forward to welcoming 50+ phase 2 acts to round out the celebration. Phase 2 includes a diverse mix of house and techno virtuosos, including the likes of BPM mainstay Art Department, techno maestros Boris and Joseph Capriati, a live set from Argentine talent Guti, rising Latin House producer Hugel, Spanish tech-house don Pablo Ceballos, Italian electronic music veteran Stefano Noferini, NYC-based DJ Vanjee, and many more.
Newly-announced showcases include 4×2 Toronto, Jesse Calosso’s Boogeyman, Carl Craig’s Detroit Love concept, East End Dubs’ Eastenderz, Loco Dice’s Serán Bendecidos, and returning fan-favorite YA’AHH MUUL. Following their successful debut during the inaugural edition of BPM Canada in 2022, Neverdogs’ Bamboleo, Yaya’s Tamango, and Carlo Lio and Nathan Barato’s Rawthentic will be teaming up for a collective showcase that is set to give guests a taste of what each label has to offer. Fast-rising Miami-based experiential event concept Hurry Up Slowly and Toronto-based venue Soluna, both of which also made their BPM debut in Toronto, will be presenting their respective BPM Costa Rica showcases for the very first time. Additionally, the 5-day festival will feature a selection of special showcases that are slated to make their BPM debut, including From The South, a curated takeover from Manchester outfit Mason Collective’s MVSON, and Qlub.
For those traveling internationally for the event, Costa Rica is open to all visitors with flights available to Liberia International Airport (LIR), only one hour from Tamarindo by car, and San José International Airport (SJO), located four hours away by car. The BPM Festival has partnered with TULU Travel, offering 4 and 7-night full-service accommodation packages at several hotels situated within the heart of Tamarindo. Sold separately from festival passes, travelers can still choose between the iconic Hotel Diria, the adults-only Jardin Del Eden, the chic Wyndham, and the Cala Luna; one of the only hotels in Guanacaste that remains green throughout the year.
