La Gossa Sorda

Gandía isn’t ready. Nobody is.Because after nearly a decade of silence, La Gossa Sorda — the legendary Pego war machine of Valencian protest music — is marching back onto the battlefield. And the only festival they’re blessing in 2026? Pirata Beach Fest, that four-day summer hurricane where sunstroke meets revolution and where thousands of sand-covered degenerates yell their politics through half-warm beer.

This is no nostalgia cash-grab. This is a return from exile, a band stepping back into the arena because the world has become stupid enough, dirty enough and dangerous enough to require their voice again. Vocalist Josep Nadal said it best:“Above the mud and ashes you can hear the footsteps of an animal that returns.”Well, Gandía is about to hear the roar.

La Gossa’s new tour, A Tornallom, promises to do what their music has always done — grab society by the collar, shake hard, and dare it to pretend everything is fine. For the Pirate crowd, this is holy ground: the first and only chance to see them on a Valencian festival stage in 2026. One night. One shot. Zero excuses.

It’ll be a historic set, a full-blooded run through decades of hymns — the kind of concert where the entire Polígono Benieto might spontaneously levitate from collective adrenaline.

From “Esbarzers” to the deep-cut rabies of La Polseguera, it’s the return everyone’s been whispering about since 2016 — half believing, half afraid to jinx it.

Pirata Beach Fest didn’t stop with La Gossa Sorda. Oh no. They went full-berserk on this second lineup advance.

Joining the returning giants are:

• Sanguijuelas del Guadiana

• Lia Kali

• Figa Flawas (their ONLY Valencian Community gig)

• Hoke

And that’s on top of the earlier avalanche: La Fúmiga, Evaristo, Molotov, The Tyets, Talco, Non Servium, Mägo de Oz, Boikot, Obús, and an ever-growing parade of misfits, militants, punks, rappers, fusion freaks and Mediterranean noise-sorcerers.

Forty bands deep and they’re still not done. More names incoming. Prepare your liver accordingly.

From July 8 to 11, Gandía becomes the centre of the universe — or at least the loudest corner of it. Pirata Beach Fest has become one of Spain’s summer heavyweights, equal parts music marathon, beach pilgrimage and temporary autonomous party-state.

Held just minutes from the sea, the festival turns the Benieto industrial zone into a lawless music republic, complete with rock, rap, miscegenation, fusion, and whatever else the Valencian scene throws at the sun.

Every year it grows. Every year it mutates. Every year it gets closer to hitting critical mass and exploding into a nation-sized mosh pit.

Pirata Beach Fest has made one thing clear: Valencia isn’t just part of the Spanish music map — it’s the engine room. Valencian bands are everywhere on this lineup, pulsing through the festival like a second heartbeat.Auxili, Doctor Prats, Malifeta, El Diluvi, Naina, Me Fritos & The Gimme Cheetos — the whole regional artillery on full display.

La Gossa Sorda returning after ten long years.Their only festival show in the entire País Valencià.A lineup stacked deep with well-armed musical insurgents.And Gandía turning itself, once again, into the Mediterranean capital of righteous chaos.

Pirata Beach Fest 2026 is already a storm — and the wind hasn’t even picked up.
