MERIDA, YUCATAN. The Merida Music Festival 2014 will take place
on Saturday 29th March, and today in a launch event at Hennessy’s Irish Pub,
the organizers outlined their plans for the event, and introduced the
beneficiary charity – Save the Children.
The festival is styled
on the European / North American concept of an all-day music festival (rather
than a concert), offering a pleasant location to enjoy with friends, good food,
and drink, while also appreciating the various different styles of music which
will be performed.
Taking place at
Hacienda Dzibikak (on the highway from Umán to Hunucmá at km 5), the festival
will open at 1pm, and continue until approximately 8pm. Performance schedule is
as follows:
2.00pm – 3.00pm: Los Lásgori (Mexican
Rock)
3.15pm – 4.15pm: Golden Years (50’s/60’s Rock and
Roll)
4.30pm – 5.30pm: Flus Boox (Rocking R&B)
5.45pm – 6.45pm: Eduardo Rodríguez (Santana Tribute –
Latino Rock, Blues and Jazz)
7.00pm – 8.00pm: CopyPaste featuring
Maydel (Funk, Rock, Blues, Soul)
Between bands there
will be performances by Batucada do Fogo, and saxophonist David Dzib.
Food and beverage offerings
available for purchase at the festival will cover a wide selection of cuisines,
from local vendors Hennessy’s Irish Pub, La Bierhaus, Union Jacks, KOKU Sushi,
Le Café de Bruxelles and Pistache Patisserie & Boulangerie.
There will also be
products for sale from local merchants, as well as an area with children’s
activities.
Tickets are available
for pre-sale at Hennessy’s Irish Pub, and La Bierhaus (Colonia México and
Centro) for $225 pesos, or $275 pesos at the gate on the day. A limited number
of VIP tickets, including food and beverages and access to the main house at
the hacienda are available for $1000 pesos each. A percentage of the ticket
sales will be donated to Save the Children, a charity close to the heart of
Sean Hennessy, who has worked with them in the past.
Children under 12
enter free, and onsite parking is also free of charge.
