Rivas Vaciamadrid unveils the music line-up for its 2026 festivities with surprises

Zahara, Barry B and Ojete Calor headline the 2026 concerts in Rivas-Vaciamadrid, where the Ayuntamiento will raffle free pairs of tickets in a programme that promises variety, excitement and plenty of new features.

Rivas Vaciamadrid City Council has revealed the first names set to enliven the 2026 local festivities. Zahara, Barry B and Ojete Calor head a line-up mixing pop, electronic music and alternative rock. The concerts will take place at the Miguel Ríos auditorium on 14 and 16 May, with two more performances yet to be announced.

Tickets, which will cost 20 euros, are not yet available. However, the council will raffle 40 pairs of passes among local residents, allowing some to enjoy the concerts at no cost.

On Thursday 14 May, performances will open with Ojete Calor, known for their blend of electronic music and humour-laden lyrics, and Zahara, who returns to Rivas with her latest album Lento Ternura and hits such as Con las ganas. The local group ParqueSvr will provide the experimental and alternative touch, with a line-up established since 2017.

Saturday 16 May will be the turn of Samuraï, the Madrid artist who has collaborated with La La Love You; Barry B, who mixes rock, punk and electronic music; and Repion, the band of sisters Marina and Teresa Iñesta, with more than a decade on the scene and notable songs such as No te necesito para ser feliz.

The City Council will shortly announce when ticket sales will begin and complete the music programme, which promises an edition full of styles and surprises.
