The Rocanrola festival will return to Alicante from April 30 to May 2, bringing together over 100 hip-hop and rap artists at Multiespacio Rabasa, solidifying its position as the largest event of its genre in Spain.

This event, which had to be postponed in October due to the DANA (cold drop), now resumes its original lineup to be held during the upcoming May bank holiday. The program includes prominent figures from the national scene, offering a complete musical experience for genre enthusiasts.
Confirmed artists include Hijos de la Ruina, Kase.O (with his only performance in Spain in 2026), Delaossa, Fernandocosta, Nach, Hoke, Hard GZ, Al Safir, and Lia Kali. Additionally, other talents will perform across five different stages.
The festival grounds will feature five stages, three dedicated to the main music program and an additional covered space. A stage within the Living Park will focus on hip-hop culture, freestyle, and emerging artists, while another will be dedicated to techno music from Thursday to Saturday.
In addition to concerts, Rocanrola will offer an extensive parallel program. In the Living Park area, attendees can enjoy live graffiti, skateboarding, and 3x3 basketball with freestyle and competitions, aiming to foster youth participation and creativity.
Among the proposals for young and emerging artists are the I InteractUA Platform Rap Contest, aimed at University of Alicante students, and the Rookies Rocanrola contest, which will select ten artists from over 200 submissions. The program will also include the Battle of Promises and the Red Bull x Rocanrola Battles, with 40 participants, reinforcing the role of freestyle in this edition.
To facilitate travel, the festival will provide free shuttle services connecting to Alicante, Playa de San Juan, Sant Joan d’Alacant, and El Campello. The Alicante City Council has emphasized the importance of such events for promoting musical tourism in the city, a segment linked to cultural activity and its economic impact.
