Festival Rocanrola 2026: Alicante becomes the hip-hop capital of Spain
Festival Rocanrola returns with its most ambitious edition yet. On April 30 and May 1–2, 2026, the Multiespacio Rabasa in Alicante will host over 100 artists across five stages and more than 30 hours of live music. Timed to coincide with Spain’s May bank holiday weekend, this hip-hop festival goes well beyond concerts — it is a three-day celebration of urban culture incorporating street art, skateboarding, 3×3 basketball and freestyle battles.
Headlining the bill are Hijos de la Ruina — the supergroup of Natos, Waor and Recycled J — returning to the stage to perform Hijos de la Ruina Vol. 4 live. Also confirmed is Kase.O, in what will be his only Spanish show of 2026, making his Rocanrola set a genuinely rare occasion. The lineup continues with Delaossa, Nach, Fernandocosta, Lia Kali, Sharif & Rapsusklei, Hard GZ, Ill Pekeño & Ergo Pro, Foyone, Morodo, Bejo, Sho-Hai and dozens more from the leading ranks of the Spanish rap scene.
Alongside the music, the Living Park will feature live graffiti on a 20×2-metre wall, a 300-square-metre skate park with BMX ramps, a street basketball court and a dedicated stage for emerging talent. The Batalla de Promesas freestyle competition returns with 40 MCs, and the festival also hosts official Red Bull battle sessions.
