Top bands like top-billed Panteón
Rococó will take over the stage showcasing the best of Spanish rock for an
unforgettable night.
Spanish
rock fans can now put the 1st Riviera Nayarit Rock Festival on their
calendar for June 9, 2018. The event will be held at the Hard Rock Hotel Nuevo
Vallarta concert venue with the participation of Mexican band Panteón Rococó as
the headliner, plus three local bands.
During
the press conference held this past Monday at the host hotel, the event’s
general manager, Israel Guerrero, said they’re expecting an adrenaline-charged
evening in an extraordinary setting: the Riviera Nayarit.
Although
Panteón Rococó is the headliner, he added they had also invited local bands Sal
de Mar, Renglón and The Black Hardies to the stage; these bands have done very
well in the area and they will be opening the show.
He
added they are expecting approximately 6 thousand visitors—about 2,000 from
other areas and 4,000 locals from the Puerto Vallarta and Bahía de Banderas
area, all fans of this iconic national ska and rock fusion band that recently
celebrated its twentieth anniversary.
“We
have every intention of continuing to do this kind of event to benefit the
destination but, more importantly, to benefit society, which has been looking
for more entertainment and show space and, of course tourism,” he said.
Marc
Murphy, director of the Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB)
and the Bahía de Banderas Hotel and Motel Association (AHMBB), calculated a
revenue of between 6 and 8 million pesos,
taking into consideration that each outside visitor spends approximately 2
thousand pesos.
“The
intention of the AHMBB and the CVB is to promote the Riviera Nayarit and gain
recognition for Mexico’s Pacific Treasure, and what better way to do that but
through music and the talent of these musicians here at the Hard Rock Hotel, right
across from the water and enjoying the natural beauty of this tourism destination,”
he said.

everybody “lit” with their high-energy music.
