Festivern

Tavernes de la Valldigna isn’t just throwing a New Year’s Eve party — it’s detonating one. From December 29 to 31, Festivern rolls back into town like a turbo-charged Valencian meteor, armed with brass, beats, attitude, and enough collective energy to light up the entire comarca. This isn’t a festival — it’s a ritual. A last stand. The final, glorious blowout before the calendar taps out.

And the lineup? Absolutamente salvaje.

La Fúmiga return as the patron saints of festive chaos, bringing brass-powered blasts, street-party soul, and that unmistakable “let’s-link-arms-and-jump-until-we-forget-our-names” energy. Right behind them come Fisa FLAWAS, squeezing swagger and accordion fire into a single explosive package.

Valencian icons Auxili pull the reggae-ska sun straight into the dead of winter, while The Tyets drop their hyperactive Catalan pop-trap vitamin shot — the kind that makes the whole crowd bounce like it’s a trampoline made of teenagers and fireworks.

From the punk trenches, Boikot storm Tavernes with decades of militant attitude, joined by Malifeta, Biznaga, Primavera Valenciana, and Mala Sestión, ready to tear up the last days of the year with adrenaline, distortion, and sweaty communal catharsis. Meanwhile BUNOS keep the alternative flame burning with floor-rattling riffs and that “we’re-here-to-mess-things-up” confidence only rising acts can channel.

Then there’s Doctor Prats, the festival’s designated prescription for euphoric chaos. Pep de la Tona and Pep Gimeno “Botifarra” bring the pure, beating heart of Valencian tradition — one voice, one culture, one massive intergenerational hangout under the winter sky.

Ska legend Juantxo Skalari & La Rude Band crash the party with street-corner rebellion and stomping 2-tone power, while Sinestà, Jimena Amarillo, Abril, and Reina Mora add the melodic soul, indie sparkle, and lyrical punch that round out Festivern’s eclectic energy.

And when the live bands finally burn through their last notes? The night doesn’t end — it mutates.DJ Plan B, DJ Trapella, and the feral Las Hienas DJ Set take over, grinding the crowd into the early hours with basslines so heavy they might actually crack the valley open.

Three days. Dozens of bands. Thousands of bodies moving in the cold winter air.

Festivern isn’t about closing a year — it’s about blowing it up, dancing on the ruins, and walking into January covered in glitter, sweat, and the smell of gunpowder from the final midnight explosion.

If you want pretty fireworks, go to the city.If you want the real New Year’s Eve — loud, muddy, communal, and alive — you go to Tavernes.
