Rivas festivities

The programme for the May 2026 festivities has been presented in Rivas-Vaciamadrid, an urban festival to be held from 13 to 16 May that will once again bring together concerts, fairgrounds and daytime activities.

The main events will take place in two areas: the fairground and the old town. There will be attractions, family activities and small events during the day, while in the afternoon activity moves to the concert stages.

The main stage will be the Miguel Ríos auditorium, with capacity for several thousand spectators, where the festival’s most important musical evenings will take place.

On 13 May, the Alma Mahler orchestra will open the programme with a film-score concert, accompanied by visual support.

On 14 May, Zahara will perform her new work Lento Ternura, alongside Ojete Calor and ParqueSvr.

15 May will be dedicated to the Grimey for Palestine festival, featuring Delaossa, Il Pekeño & Ergo Pro, Albany, Lorna and other artists.

On 16 May, Samuraï, Barry B and Repion, representatives of the new Spanish music scene from pop to indie rock, will close the programme.
