Pop-opera, emotion and connection in a historic concert under Marbella’s stars
Il Divo returned to Starlite Occident 2025 to celebrate their 20th anniversary, reaffirming their unique bond with the boutique festival. With over 30 million records sold and five performances at the quarry, Urs Bühler, David Miller, Sébastien Izambard and Steven LaBrie —who joined after the loss of Carlos Marín— delivered a concert full of emotion, virtuosity and gratitude to a devoted audience.
“Thank you, Starlite Occident. Tonight has had a unique magic to celebrate our 20 years. This festival feels like family, and we always come back with excitement,” the group confessed with emotion.
The setlist was a journey between classical and contemporary, featuring memorable renditions of “Crazy”, “All by Myself”, “Power of Love” and “Perfect”, one of the night’s most celebrated moments. The debut of “Despertar sin ti”, their first original composition in two decades, proved the group’s ability to keep evolving and surprising.
The connection with the audience was palpable: looks, words and gratitude that showed Il Divo don’t repeat formulas but live each song as if it were the first time. The quarry resonated with heartfelt complicity, turning the concert into an unforgettable anniversary. Among the attendees were Nacho Cano, model Lidia Santos and actor Adrián Pedraja, who did not want to miss this special evening.
After the concert, the celebration continued with an epic Pool Party, where music, dancing and summer vibes transformed the night into a true starlit fiesta.
Starlite Occident 2025 reaffirms its status as the world’s leading boutique festival, blending international music, exclusive experiences and unique moments in an unparalleled setting.
