“It feels late,” she told the crowd. “It’s been 27 years of this festival …. Before me, there were so many great Latino artists that gave me the opportunity.

“Latinos have been struggling in this country lately. We stand for them. I’m proud this brings out the best of us — unity, resilience, a strong spirit. We want everyone to feel welcome to our culture, our roots, our music. I want everyone to feel proud of where you come from.”

Justin Bieber headlined Saturday night, punctuating his set by singing to Billie Eilish during his 2009 song “One Less Lonely Girl.” Other Bieber guests included Sexyy Red, Big Sean, SZA and Dijon.

Saturday’s performances included Giveon, Geese, Nine Inch Noize, Morat and The Strokes, who added a visual political statement as they performed their 2016 song “Oblivius” — a slideshow of images showing various world leaders allegedly overthrown by the CIA and air missile strikes in Gaza.

Gen Z singer-songwriter Sombr added a veteran performer to his set for the second weekend in a row. On Saturday, it was Billy Idol with guitarist Steve Steven on the latter’s hit “Eyes Without a Face.” During Weekend 1, it was Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan on that group’s hit “1979.”
