Nits De Vivers

Valencia’s Nits de Vivers is roaring back — and this time the Jardines del Real (Los Viveros) are about to be lit up with five nights of blistering live music and cultural energy that kick off the outdoor concert season with style, diversity and pure Mediterranean summer spirit. Running from May 28 to June 6, 2026, this edition is shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet — a true festival of sound, community and night-time magic under the Valencian sky.

Set in the lush, historic Jardines de Viveros, an oasis of greenery right in the heart of the city, Nits de Vivers blends music, gastronomy and urban culture into a singular experience where every evening feels like a shared summer ritual. Whether you’re swaying beneath ancient trees or cheering at the front of the stage, this is a celebration of place as much as performance.

The first spark in this 2026 edition comes from Sidecars, the Madrid-bred pop-rock trio whose earworm melodies, gritty guitars and charismatic stage presence are tailor-made for an opening night that both welcomes and awakens. Playing tracks from their latest work Everest, they’ll kick things off with a mix of punchy rock, heartfelt refrains and sing-along choruses that instantly set the tone for what Nits de Vivers is all about: big melodies, bigger crowds, and pure festival energy.

Night two doubles down on electrifying variety as Carlos Ares and Niña Polaca share the bill. Ares — a Galician talent known for his adventurous blend of pop, folk and alternative textures — brings a live show that’s intimate yet expansive, mixing organic instrumentation with emotional resonance. Niña Polaca, rising stars with strong festival credentials, bring fresh, post-indie sounds that are both eclectic and deeply danceable, promising a night where the energy never dips.

One of the marquee moments of the series arrives with Iván Ferreiro, performing on May 30 as part of his Hoy x Ayer 35-anniversary tour. A veteran of the Spanish indie scene who first made his name with Los Piratas, Ferreiro has since become a solo icon revered for his lyrical depth, honest vocals and richly textured catalog. Expect an emotional, career-spanning set that’s equal parts anthemic and intimate.

After a short breather, Nits de Vivers returns with a fierce shockwave of intensity on June 5, delivering a night curated for lovers of metal, hardcore and raw rock energy. Leading the charge is Soziedad Alkoholika (S.A.), the Basque powerhouse that has spent decades shredding genre boundaries with riffs that are as relentless as their social-charged lyrics. Angelus Apatrida, Bala, Deaf Devils and Vaire round out a commanding lineup that promises thunderous live performance, blistering guitar work, and a crowd primed for one of the loudest nights of the season.

To bring this edition home, the gardens host Hoke on June 6, one of the most buzzed-about names in Valencia’s contemporary urban and rap scene. With a sound that fuses hip-hop, trap and indie influences, Hoke’s show is set to be a fresh, vibrant finale that captures the diversity and forward momentum of Nits de Vivers — a perfect ending for a series that spans rock, pop, metal and cutting-edge urban styles.

Across its nine nights, Nits de Vivers 2026 is a celebration of sound and season, where genres collide, scenes converge and audiences unite under the starlit canopy of Los Viveros. Each night delivers a unique flavour — from pop-rock anthems and indie classics to high-octane metal and the freshest urban beats — all in a setting that elevates every performance into something unforgettable.

The Jardines de Viveros aren’t just a venue — they’re a living, breathing part of the experience, turning every concert into a shared night of culture, music and community. Whether you’re an ardent fan of the artists on the bill or simply love feeling the pulse of live music in beautiful surroundings, this series is where summer officially begins in Valencia. Tickets are already on sale and expected to move quickly — from iconic voices to incendiary rock and tomorrow’s urban stars, Nits de Vivers 2026 has something for every music lover who wants to kick off the summer with fire and finesse.
