Del Poble Fest

The Countdown Is On: Del Poble Fest Is Ready to Take Over Tavernes de la Valldigna The summer festival season is about to hit the Valencian coast at full speed. The wristbands are being delivered. The playlists are on repeat. The food trucks are preparing for battle. And in just a few days, thousands of music fans will descend on Tavernes de la Valldigna for the second edition of Del Poble Fest. Taking place on June 19 and 20, the festival returns bigger, bolder and with a lineup packed with some of Spain's biggest names.

What makes Del Poble Fest stand out is its combination of music, gastronomy and Mediterranean atmosphere. Set in the stunning surroundings of Tavernes de la Valldigna, between mountains, orange groves and some of the Valencian Community's most beautiful beaches, it feels like the perfect place to kick off the summer. The organisers have expanded the site for 2026, promising a larger capacity, improved facilities and an even bigger experience while retaining the friendly spirit that made the inaugural edition such a success.

And then there's the music. This year's lineup reads like a greatest hits collection of contemporary Spanish pop and rock. Leading the charge is the unstoppable Malú, one of Spain's most successful and beloved performers. With a catalogue packed with massive hits and a reputation for emotionally charged live performances, her appearance alone would be enough to draw huge crowds.

Joining her are the kings and queens of Spanish pop glamour, Fangoria. Expect dazzling visuals, synth-pop anthems and enough singalong moments to power an entire festival. Few acts know how to turn a concert into a celebration quite like Alaska and company.

For lovers of pure rock and roll, Loquillo brings decades of attitude, charisma and timeless songs. A genuine legend of Spanish music, his presence adds serious weight to the festival lineup.

The younger generation is equally well represented. Álvaro de Luna continues his remarkable rise with a string of radio-friendly anthems and festival favourites, while Beret arrives armed with the emotionally charged songs that have made him one of the country's biggest streaming stars.

Fans of feel-good pop-rock will be flocking to see Taburete, whose infectious blend of catchy melodies and crowd-pleasing choruses has made them one of Spain's most popular live acts. Meanwhile, David Otero brings decades of songwriting experience and a catalogue filled with songs that audiences know by heart.

The party continues with Lérica, whose mix of Latin rhythms, pop hooks and festival-ready energy is perfectly suited to a warm June night in Tavernes. Local flavour arrives courtesy of Pavlenha, while comedy and music collide in the increasingly popular phenomenon that is Jajajers.

And the organisers haven't stopped there. Recent additions include acclaimed singer-songwriters Yoly Saa and Luis Fercán, alongside Lemot and Xeco Rojo, further strengthening a lineup that already looked stacked from top to bottom. The festival will also feature the nostalgic dance spectacle 2000 FEST, ensuring there is something for every generation of music fan.

One of the most exciting aspects of Del Poble Fest remains its commitment to emerging talent. Through the #DelPobleAlEscenari initiative, hundreds of artists submitted applications for the chance to perform at the festival, with public voting attracting more than 10,000 votes. In an era when many festivals focus solely on established names, Del Poble Fest continues to create opportunities for the next generation of Valencian musicians.

Beyond the stages, festival-goers can expect a strong gastronomic offering thanks to Gastro League, whose collection of food trucks and street-food concepts will keep energy levels high throughout the weekend. Because let's be honest: a great festival needs great food almost as much as great music.

The numbers are impressive. More than 25,000 square metres of festival space. Two stages. VIP areas. Food villages. Music running deep into the night. Gates opening in the afternoon and celebrations continuing until the early hours. But the real attraction is harder to quantify. It's that feeling of standing in a crowd as the sun disappears behind the mountains. The first notes of a favourite song drifting across the festival grounds. Friends gathering around food stalls. Cold drinks in hand. Summer finally beginning. And with the countdown now firmly underway, Tavernes de la Valldigna is preparing for one of the biggest weekends of the Valencian summer.

The stage is set.
