This year the Costa del Sol is buzzing with open-air concerts.

Without a doubt, one of the best venues is Starlite Marbella. Each year it brings prestigious artists in small capacity boutique concerts in an unbeatable location in the Cantera de Nagüeles.

In its 15th edition, the boutique festival in Marbella will feature almost 50 days of concerts during the months of June, July and August.  And with a line-up that brings together some of the most important artists on the music scene.

What is so special about Starlite Marbella?

Starlite is one of the best, if not the best, boutique festival in Europe.

Its special feature is both its location, an abandoned quarry 5 km from the centre of Marbella.

Its a unique stage surrounded by a 60 high rock wall which creates an impressive acoustic and visual effect.

In addition, the capacity is quite small, with a maximum of 2,200 people, which creates a very intimate closeness with the artists.
