The organization has positively assessed this year's edition "both for the audience's reception and the overall functioning of the event".

DJ Sr. Lobezno closed the first day's performances.
On Saturday, the responsibility of starting the day fell to the local reggae group Gwa Ya. Band members highlighted "the great opportunity to perform on such a large stage, with professional infrastructure and an excellent sound technician." Following them, the afternoon and evening were energized by sets from El Jose, Janus Lester, Javi Medina, Dubioza Kolektiv, Merina Gris, and La Pegatina.

"From the first live performances in the afternoon until the early morning hours, the venue maintained constant energy, driving the festival's rhythm and reinforcing the collective nature of the experience with the audience."
