Spanish actor Antonio Banderas has announced his support for the upcoming Festival Solidario Soles de Málaga 2025, a major charity event aimed at raising funds for several non-governmental organizations in the Málaga region.
In a recent Instagram post, Banderas shared details about the festival, which will take place on April 26, 2025, at the iconic Plaza de Toros La Malagueta in Málaga. The event will begin at 12:00 PM and feature an impressive lineup of artists, though specific performers have not yet been announced.
The festival will benefit several charitable organizations, including Asociación Dyar, an organization working toward the inclusion of migrant populations, Nena Paine, a charity rescuing children from the streets of Nairobi, and IncluDD Asociación, an organization fighting poverty and social exclusion in Málaga.
In his post, Banderas emphasized the importance of supporting these initiatives, ending with the hashtag #LUZALAOSCURIDAD (Light to Darkness), highlighting the event’s mission to bring hope to those in need.
Antonio Banderas, born José Antonio Domínguez Bandera on August 10, 1960, in Málaga, Spain, has maintained strong ties to his hometown throughout his successful international career. After achieving fame in Spain working with director Pedro Almodóvar, Banderas transitioned to Hollywood in the early 1990s, becoming one of the most recognizable Spanish actors globally with roles in films like “Desperado,” “The Mask of Zorro,” and as the voice of Puss in Boots in the “Shrek” franchise.
In recent years, Banderas has deepened his commitment to Málaga’s cultural scene. In 2019, he founded Teatro del Soho CaixaBank in Málaga, a project that has revitalized the city’s theatrical offerings and provided a platform for Spanish productions. His work with the theater recently earned him the prestigious Talía de Honor Award 2025 from the Academy of Performing Arts of Spain, which he proudly shared on his Instagram earlier this month.
For those interested in attending the Festival Solidario Soles de Málaga 2025, tickets can be purchased through the official website www.solesdemalaga.org. The event promises to be a significant cultural happening in Málaga, combining entertainment with charitable purposes.
The actor’s dedication to Málaga extends beyond this single event. His recent activities in the city include attending the presentation of an economic analysis of cofrade (brotherhood) activities in Málaga 2024 and receiving visitors at his Teatro del Soho, further cementing his role as one of the city’s most prominent cultural ambassadors.
As Banderas continues to balance his international career with local commitments, the Festival Solidario Soles de Málaga represents his ongoing effort to give back to the community that shaped him before his rise to global stardom.
