Ginetarock brings metal legends to La Gineta for the 18th time
Music festival Ginetarock celebrates its 18th edition, continuing a tradition that began in 2008 and has made La Gineta a key spot on Spain’s metal map. The 2026 lineup brings together five international artists — three European and two North American — alongside six Spanish acts, spread across two stages over one packed day.
Headlining the bill is Udo Dirkschneider, the legendary German vocalist who founded Accept in 1976 and helped define the sound of 1980s speed and thrash metal, before going on to build a successful solo career fronting his own project, U.D.O. He’s joined by Roy Khan, the Norwegian singer known as the voice of American symphonic power metal band Kamelot from 1998 to 2011, who has since returned to performing with progressive metal outfit Conception. The bill is rounded out by Xandria, Seven Spires, Saratoga, Zenobia, Injector, Rise to Fall, Motörhits, Tulip, and D.E.P., for a total of eleven bands.
The Spanish date is September 26, 2026, in La Gineta (Albacete), at the Salón Municipal venue, with capacity for up to three thousand people. The day runs in three blocks: three bands from 5:00 to 8:30 PM, four bands from 8:30 PM to midnight, and the remaining three from midnight to 3:00 AM.
Final-price tickets cost 44 € plus fees; earlier, cheaper offers have already sold out. The ticket price includes free access to the camping area. Minimum age to attend is 16 with valid ID; minors may enter accompanied by an adult, and children under 12 get in free.
