The seventh edition of the festival in Villena unfolded with flair, taking place at the same venue that recently hosted Leyendas del Rock. The crowd swelled as thousands lined up to witness a lineup packed with energy and anticipation, showcasing acts like La Pegatina, Talco, and Los Chikos del Maíz, each delivering sets that resonated with the diverse festivalgoer base.
Doors opened at five, and the venue quickly filled with a steady flow of attendees moving through the gates. Inside the municipal sports center, the day began with a candid rap showcase, featuring Lia Kalithen and another bold rapper delivering tracks marked by raw emotion and memorable hooks. The early performances set a brisk tempo for the rest of the evening, giving the audience a taste of the rebellious spirit that would permeate the night.
Next up, the crowd welcomed the beloved Valencian act Fumiga, whose infectious optimism and buoyant stage presence drew a full house early on. The performance sparked an exuberant atmosphere, with the band’s signature energy and upbeat anthems turning the space into a party. The set included cherished classics, igniting the energy and readying the audience for the heavier acts to come. Following them, Dead Lendakari and other stalwarts of the local scene kept the momentum rolling, while the seasoned Sevillian outfit Narco delivered a powerful return to the festival after a few years away, much to the delight of their devoted followers.
Meanwhile, on the festival’s smaller second stage, the Caparrilla Stage hosted a parade of acts that drew attention from early in the day. Pirat’s Sound System, Los Ibiza, Cactus, Lèpoka, and Mr. Jan performed as the spotlight shone on two notable releases, Alademoska and Fuck Family, both of which drew notable crowds who moved with the rhythms and notes, signaling the night’s depth in musical variety.

At eleven thirty, right on schedule, the night’s centerpiece began with a dazzling eighty-minute show full of rhythm, joy, and a sense of communal celebration. The artist delivered a fusion of Catalan rumba, punchy ska, and vibrant danceable grooves, turning the venue into a lively party as spectators surrendered to the beat and let themselves be carried away by the infectious energy. The performance continued to pull the audience into the heart of the festival, while two heavier acts—the politically charged rap crew Children of the Corn and Italian group Talco—kept the crowd engaged with their urgent, high-energy performances and memorable riffs that lingered long after the last note faded, echoing as a reminder of the night’s diverse flavor.

The evening’s momentum then shifted as the electronic wave rose to the forefront. The lineup’s seamless blend of reggae, ska, and rap carried forward into a more club-oriented energy, with the night culminating in a robust electronic performance that encouraged fearless dancing and collective participation. The artists on this bill brought a dynamic contrast to the day’s earlier rock and hip-hop showcases, expanding the sonic palette and inviting even the most reserved attendees to cut loose on the dance floor.
On this occasion, a collective of DJs, producers, and musicians took the stage to harmonize electronics with hip-hop, crafting immersive sets that surprised and delighted the audience. The result was a series of monumental sessions designed to entertain while showcasing the creativity at the heart of contemporary festival culture. The closing energy left the crowd exhilarated, moving to the last tracks as the night drew to a close and the festival began to wind down, leaving behind a shared memory of vibrant performances and a sense of anticipation for the next edition.
