The Altaveu 2026 festival will take place from September 11 to 13 in Sant Boi de Llobregat with a lineup that combines historic groups like 091 and Los Sírex with emerging artists. The 37th edition includes concerts in the Jardins de l’Ateneu and the Teatre Cal Ninyo, as well as the Fira del Disc and family activities.
091, the Granada band that defined Spanish rock in the eighties, is back in Baix Llobregat. The Altaveu 2026 festival has announced a lineup featuring 091, Los Sírex, La Perra Blanco and Sr. Chinarro in Sant Boi de Llobregat from September 11 to 13. The 37th edition aims to bridge generations, bringing together groups that wrote chapters of state pop with new voices that reinterpret that legacy.
The announcement, made public this week by the Ayuntamiento de Sant Boi, confirms that the festival maintains its spirit of closeness. Far from macro-events, Altaveu remains faithful to the Jardins de l’Ateneu, the Teatre Cal Ninyo and the plaça de l’Ajuntament, spaces that will be filled with music for three days. For the residents of Sant Boi, the festival is an unmissable date on the cultural calendar, and this year the mix of veterans and newcomers promises a particularly vibrant atmosphere.
091 and Los Sírex, two heavyweights reuniting
Los Sírex, the Barcelona group that popularised rock and roll in the sixties, returns to Sant Boi after receiving one of the Premios Altaveu. Their presence on the lineup shares the stage with 091, one of the most influential bands in independent rock in Spain. The most energetic segment will be provided by La Perra Blanco, while Sr. Chinarro will offer his lyrical and personal pop.
The lineup is not limited to these names. Dan Peralbo i El Comboi, Arnau Obiols, Syd de Palma, Juana Everett, SILVIO, Kris Tena, Jordi Ganchitos and Carla Pérez Vas complete a programme that spans from classic rock to electronic music and singer-songwriter genres. The selection avoids the sensationalism of large festivals and seeks, according to municipal sources, “a musical conversation between yesterday and today.”
Altaveu Frontera: the springboard for new talents
The Altaveu Frontera section, dedicated to emerging projects, has selected this year Leyre Estruch and Dualizz. Both artists will perform within the general programme, without being relegated to a secondary space. This commitment to integration is one of the festival's hallmarks, which avoids the separate showcase format.
For the audience in Baix Llobregat, Altaveu Frontera represents an opportunity to discover proposals before they make the leap to larger circuits. The initiative has already launched careers of groups that now tour across the country, and this edition seems no exception. The competition, open to artists from all over the territory, reinforces the festival's connection with the local scene.
Altaveu+ and parallel activities: music beyond the stages
The edition is completed with Altaveu+, an exhibition on urban tribes, and the traditional Fira del Disc i del Llibre Musical. There will also be family programming, designed to make the festival a plan for all audiences. The Ayuntamiento de Sant Boi recommends checking the municipal website of the Altaveu Festival for definitive schedules and access conditions.
The event, which attracts thousands of attendees each year, is consolidating as one of the cultural reference events in Baix Llobregat. For the residents of Sant Boi and nearby towns, Altaveu is more than just a festival: it is a meeting point where quality music combines with the atmosphere of a town that knows how to celebrate. And all, without the need to drive to Barcelona.
