Brisa Festival 2026: music at the port

There are few better summer plans than a music festival by the sea. The Brisa Festival returns to Málaga for its sixth edition, and in an unbeatable spot: the port, a short walk from the old town with the Mediterranean as a backdrop. If your trip falls on these dates, take note — it's one of the big draws of the Málaga summer.

When and where is the 2026 Brisa Festival

The 2026 Brisa Festival takes place on 23, 24 and 25 July at the Dique de Levante of the Port of Málaga, with several stages by the sea, a food area and an atmosphere that is hard to beat as the sun goes down. Before the main weekend, the festival also runs warm-up concerts around the city's neighbourhoods.

The 2026 line-up

The bill is headed by Amaia, La M.O.D.A., M-Clan, Siloé and Love of Lesbian, with established names such as León Benavente, Ángel Stanich, Soleá Morente, David Otero and Pignoise, plus emerging acts. The daily schedule and tickets are published on the official site (brisafestival.com): it's worth buying early, as passes go fast.

How to get there (and why the centre wins)

Here is Brisa's big advantage: the site is right by the centre. From Calle Larios you reach the port on a pleasant 15–20 minute seafront walk, so you need no car and no worrying about parking —a headache on concert nights. If you stay in the centre, you walk out of your door and walk back the same way, with no queues or last bus.

A festival accessible to everyone

A detail that makes a difference: Brisa aims to be the first large-format festival in the province that is 100% accessible and inclusive, designed so anyone can enjoy it without physical or cognitive barriers. Music by the sea for everyone.

Where to stay for Brisa

For a festival by the port, staying in the centre is the perfect play: you walk down to the site along the seafront and, by day, you have the Málaga of museums, tapas and the beach within reach. Our central apartments leave you a short walk from the Dique de Levante.
