History of Starlite

In 1983, prince Alfonso von Hohenlohe, singer Julio Iglesias and tenor Plácido Domingo organized a musical event with a recital starred by the tenor in the Nagüeles quarry of Marbella, using the space as a natural auditorium for its excellent acoustic qualities and stunning natural environment. That would be the historical precedent and precursor of the Starlite Festival, that finally took shape thirty years later, in 2012.

This first edition attracted 40,000 concert goers for a programme of artists including: George Benson, Roger Hodgson, Armando Manzanero, Tony Bennett, Christopher Cross, Hugh Laurie, Paul Anka, Miguel Bosé, Rosario Flores and Lolita Flores with Antonio Carmona, Simple Minds, Raphael, Julio Iglesias, and Estopa.
