WELCOME TO SOUL & THE SUN

ABOUT US

Soul & The Sun is more than just an event — it’s a family, a feeling, and a few unforgettable days where life slows down, the music gets louder, and strangers quickly become friends.

Set in the sunshine of Corralejo, Soul & The Sun brings together soul lovers from all over the world to dance, connect and create memories in some of the most stunning venues the island has to offer. From sun-soaked daytime sessions by the sea to packed-out nights on the dance floor, this is about great music, great people and the kind of atmosphere you can’t fake.

What started as a simple idea has grown into one of the most talked-about soul events in the Canaries — built on word of mouth, loyalty, and a community that genuinely looks out for one another. Whether you’re here for Northern Soul, Motown, Ska, Reggae, Disco or just the buzz of being part of something special, you’ll find your place with us.

This is a space where the music matters, the vibes are positive, and everyone is welcome. No egos. No nonsense. Just soul, sunshine and the best crowd you could ever ask for. If you’ve been before, you already know. If this is your first time — welcome to the family.

We’ll see you on the dance floor.
