Now embarking on its tenth year, The BPM Festival continues to be a dance music lover's tropical paradise and the perfect winter getaway.

[7] | The 10th edition was held in January 2017, with its line-up featuring Carl Cox, Cassy, Dubfire, Erick Morillo, Guy Gerber, John Digweed, Lee Curtiss, Lee Foss, Marco Carola, Nicole Moudaber, Pete Tong, Seth Troxler, Skream, Solomun, Soul Clap, The Martinez Brothers, and Wolf + Lamb.

[8] On 16 January 2017, four people were killed and fifteen were wounded by a "lone shooter" during a closing event for the festival at the Blue Parrot nightclub where Seth Troxler was playing.

While authorities had not yet connected the shootings to Los Zetas, a person familiar with the matter told CBC News that the attack might have been the result of non-compliance with the gang's demands.

[11] On 16 January 2017, Mayor Cristina Torres Gómez stated in El Universal that the city's stance was to no longer allow BPM's organizers to hold events there.

[16][17] The next festival took place 20–23 September 2018 in Portimão, with artists including: Craig Richards, Joseph Capriati, Octave One, Patrick Topping, and more performing.
