Fairyland Music Festival 2025

GAYPV: Brian tell us what is different about Fairyland?
Brian Kent: I am very excited to be a part of this new Fairyland Music Festival 2025. It will be Puerto Vallarta’s first music event focusing on house music rather than circuit music in Puerto Vallarta. Traditionally circuit music has been the basis and foundation of our large and biggest music party events.

Fairyland Music Festival 2025 features House Music

GAYPV: Why the emphasis on house music? What is it?

Brian Kent: House music is this super cool genre of electronic dance music that popped up in Chicago back in the early 1980s. It’s got this awesome, strong groove or bassline that’s just infectious in its simplicity. Sometimes you’ll hear these soulful, catchy vocal hooks that really stick with you.There are loads of subgenres like deep house, progressive house, tech house, and electro house, each adding their own unique flavor to the original house vibes. What’s amazing about house music is the atmosphere—it’s super inclusive and uplifting. You’ll hear it blasting in clubs, festivals, and dance parties all over the globe.

The whole vibe of house music is about freedom and community on the dance floor. It’s like a big invitation for everyone to come together and just have a great time dancing.

His music is entrenched is soul and hip hop. Growing up in the late 80’s and early 90’s, every evening was spent by the radio listening the shows of Froggy, Greg Edwards and a very young Pete Tong – either taping music or writing titles down from the likes of The BB&Q and Leroy Burgess through to the mind- blowing productions of jam & Lewis and the very early house sound of Ten City.

Derrick Carter is one of the best DJs in the world. He is one of the key players of Chicago’s house music wave in the ’90s, Derrick Carter began DJ’ing at the age of nine, spinning disco records at family reunions. Raised in the western suburbs, Derrick was into music very early.
During his teens Chicago’s house scene sucked him in for and before long he became a strong presence in the city’s underground scene.

Kitty Amor is one of the UK’s foremost ambassadors for African-influenced electronic music, Kitty Amor is cultivating an impeccable legacy. Since she first stepped into the world of DJing in 2009, Kitty’s passion and love for African sounds have been central to her growth and evolution as an artist

Fairyland Music Festival 2025 attracts younger LGBTQ+ traveler

GAYPV How is the new party important for Puerto Vallarta LGBTQ+ tourism?
Brian Many of the LGBTQ+ community, especially the younger demographics, are going to music festivals these days and not attending traditional circuit parties. House appeals to all ages and especially is more preferred by those who attend music festivals than traditional circuit. Hence these festivals will bring in a new demographic for LGBTQ+ tourism in Puerto Vallarta.
