The Love to Rock festival will return to La Marina de València on October 2 and 3, 2026 for its seventh edition, combining live music with a high-end culinary offering.

Love to Rock, celebrating its seventh edition, annually invites highly recognized chefs from the Valencian Community to create a menu adapted to the needs of festival-goers. This offering maintains quality with good products, innovation, careful preparation, accessible prices, and a take-away format. In essence, it's a perfect fusion of high cuisine and music.
This marks the seventh edition of Love to Rock and the fifth of Love to Food. Germán Carrizo (from Fierro, Doña Petrona, La Oficina, and Maipi), holding 1 Michelin Star and 2 Repsol Suns, returns to curate this gastronomic space. It has already established itself as one of the festival's major attractions, having previously featured some of the most renowned figures in Valencian haute cuisine.
Alongside Carrizo, six chefs will be this year's protagonists. These include Raquel Cernicharo (1 Repsol Sun), Valencian chef behind Karak and Top Chef participant; Alex Vidal (1 Michelin Star and 1 Repsol Sun) from Origen restaurant, known for his sustainable cuisine and valuing Carcaixent products; Diego Laso, Valencian chef leading Momiji Atelier in València's Mercado de Colón, recognized as one of the best sushi chefs nationally; Rafa Morales, from Senzillo, with experience in establishments like Hotel Las Arenas and ties to the Bulli world; Roger Julián, from Simposio, offering market cuisine with fresh, seasonal, and local products; and Ismael Cano from Maillard Brasas, an expert in fire-cooked cuisine.
In addition to the chefs' culinary proposals, Love to Food will also feature a selection of food trucks. The dining area will continue to offer ample resting space with tables and chairs, as in previous years.
The musical lineup for Love to Rock is also taking shape with initial confirmations including Lori Meyers, León Benavente, Ginebras, Depedro, Los Punsetes, Vera Fauna, Grande Amore, and Niños Bravos. In the coming weeks, more artists and DJ's will be added to perform across the festival's three stages: Dársena, Pérgola, and Gastro.
