Starlite Occident, the new name of the world's leading boutique festival

"The new naming is the result of the merging of the traditional business companies of Grupo Catalana Occidente, the festival's main sponsor, under the brand “Occident”. "

The most important boutique festival in the world launches a new name for its 7th edition: Starlite Occident, resulting from the merging of the traditional business companies of Grupo Catalana Occidente, the festival's main sponsor since 2020.

The traditional business companies of Grupo Catalana Occidente (Seguros Catalana Occidente, Plus Ultra Seguros, Seguros Bilbao and NorteHispana Seguros) are unifying under a single entity, which will operate under the brand Occident. This merger, scheduled for the end of 2023, except for NorteHispana Seguros, which will be incorporated later on, completes the corporate simplification process that Grupo Catalana Occidente has been carrying out for years.

The insurance group, which last September renewed its agreement as the festival's main sponsor , will continue to give its name to the star event by incorporating the new name of Starlite Occident. This will be the fourth consecutive year that the Group will ratify its commitment to this noteworthy musical event. In the words of the Managing Director of Traditional Business of Grupo Catalana Occidente, Juan Closa, "Occident continues its commitment to music as the backbone of its sponsorships because it accompanies us at all important times of life and allows us to enjoy some unforgettable experiences. Similarly, Occident wants to accompany people and companies at all times, giving them confidence and helping them to improve their lives". After four years as the main sponsor of the Starlite festival, Closa explained that "it gives us enormous satisfaction to support for another year this leading festival and generator of quality musical experiences that, at the same time, stimulates the leisure and culture of the entire region".

Starlite Occident is an exciting experience that combines music, culture, leisure and gastronomy in an incomparable setting. Its 7th edition will be taking place in Marbella from 23 June to 2 September. Like every year, thousands of people will meet at this essential global destination to enjoy and share unforgettable moments under the stars.
