The Vive Latino España returns to Zaragoza for its fifth edition, establishing itself as one of the most vibrant festivals in Europe that fuses the best of Latino and Spanish music. Scheduled for September 4 and 5, 2026, at the Espacio Expo de Ranillas, this event promises two days filled with discoveries, reunions, and borderless fun. Since its debut in Spain, the festival has grown in popularity, attracting a diverse audience that celebrates the cultural blend among established artists, national stars, and emerging talents from Zaragoza, throughout Spain, and various corners of Latin America.
Lineup of the Vive Latino 2026 Festival
This fifth appointment maintains the three key elements that have defined the Vive Latino: the enjoyable, with rhythms to dance and relax; the seeker, to discover new sounds; and the ecumenical, which unites musical traditions from both sides of the Atlantic. Artists such as Julieta Venegas, M Clan, and Loquillo return, bringing back their iconic live performances that have already conquered the audience in previous editions. Venegas, with her accordion and soul-stirring songs, will return to keep the dance alive; M Clan, led by the powerful voice of Carlos Tarque, will revive anthems like Carolina and Miedo; while Loquillo, with his inimitable pose, will review his arsenal of rock hits.
The lineup is a true mosaic of genres and origins. From Mexico come acts like División Minúscula, with their punk-pop reminiscent of Blink 182 or Green Day; Ed Maverick, the young romantic singer-songwriter who has conquered Latin America; Plastilina Mosh, giants of the pop-punk-cumbia mix with one of the best live shows on the continent; and Sonido Gallo Negro, invoking psychedelic cumbia. Colombia brings Esteman, the supreme stylist of electronic pop, and La Chiva Gantiva, a band formed in Brussels that fuses folkloric roots with rock and electronics for a powerful show.
Argentina shines with El Kuelgue, offering psychedelic and elegant dances; Daniela Spalla, in a duet with Esteman for a pop hedonism full of love and heartbreak; while Venezuela brings Rawayana with their festive salsa-reggae that compels movement. Cuba is represented by Buenavista All Stars, heirs of the legendary Buenavista Social Club, led by Pancho Amat to transport us directly to Havana.
From the Spanish scene, notable names include Amaia Romero, the Navarrese with hypnotic presence on large stages; Guitarricadelafuente, the bard from Castellón with Teruel roots who navigates between traditional and contemporary singer-songwriting; Rigoberta Bandini, the Catalan who transforms emotions into celebrations; and La M.O.D.A., the Burgos band that accelerates from 0 to 100 with their folk-rock energy. Galicia sends Hermanos Martínez, following the pop path with rock spirit; Granada sends La Plazuela, kings of flamenco funk; and Madrid sends Biznaga with committed punk, Niña Polaca for indie dreams, Ojete Calor with their bizarre and brilliant dance humor, Pignoise inheriting urban pop rock, and Ultraligera as a magnet for the indie scene.
Zaragoza and Aragón are not left behind: Begut, the Zaragoza artist with her guitar hypnosis and debut Un diez en lo emocional; El Practicante (Nelson Benito in his new rock persona); Modelo, a pop duo that is returning after a hit in 2025; Multipla, cutting-edge rock with flair; Volador, returning after a break to shake off sadness; and El Verbo Odiado, from Huesca with melancholy and sharp guitars. Other gems include Sanguijuelas del Guadiana, mixing rock and flamenco with funk; Siloé, poetic artists from Valladolid; and Veintiuno, from Toledo with sweet melodies and melancholic lyrics.
The festival does not forget cumbia, reggae, modern flamenco, or electronic pop, ensuring a perfect balance for all tastes. Passes are already on sale at vivelatino.es and Ticketmaster for 109 euros plus fees, an accessible starting price for two days of unforgettable music.
With this fifth edition, Vive Latino in Zaragoza cements itself as an essential cultural bridge, promising not only concerts but experiences that unite continents through rhythm and emotion. Don’t miss it!
