Xàtiva and Aracena launch summer music festivals in Spain

The city of Xàtiva will host the 11th edition of the Festival Al Ras from 14 to 18 August 2026. The free, all‑night events will take place in the Jardín de la Pau and feature a new visual identity created by designer Aitor Monago. The lineup includes urban and electronic acts such as K12, Samuibanezz, Promisedland Tribe and a DJ night with a Transformer‑cyberpunk theme.

Meanwhile, Aracena’s sixth Aracena Blues festival runs from 30 July to 1 August, offering eight concerts over three days. Organized by the town council, the program combines performances by national and international blues artists, master‑class sessions, and jam‑sessions, with a full‑festival pass priced at €30. The mayor highlighted the event’s role in attracting visitors to the region.

Both festivals aim to draw young audiences and boost local tourism during the Spanish summer.
