The Mar de Jávea festival successfully kicked off its third edition last Friday, April 4, 2026, at the La Fontana venue, establishing itself as an essential spring music event in the Valencian Community.

For over nine hours, thousands of people enjoyed a varied program that combined renowned artists and new proposals from the national and international music scene. The stellar performance by Crystal Fighters, the first international headliner in the festival's history, was the highlight of a memorable night.
The British band delivered an intense show with their characteristic fusion of pop, electronic music, and elements of Basque folklore, using traditional instruments like the txalaparta and txistu, which deeply connected with the audience in Jávea.
Friday's lineup also featured performances by Pignoise, led by Álvaro Benito, who revisited songs that are part of recent collective memory. Meanwhile, Leire Martínez presented tracks from her new album, Historias de aquella niña, along with hits from her time with La Oreja de Van Gogh.
The lineup was completed with performances by Marlena, Íñigo Quintero, David Otero, and Hermanos Martínez, in addition to DJ sets by Micky Pavón, Dani del Lío, Iván MG, and Juan Valiente, who extended the party until dawn.
The festival continues today, Saturday, April 5, 2026, with Taburete as the headliner, accompanied by La La Love You, Efecto Mariposa, Hey Kid, Mafalda Cardenal, and Moni Motes. The closing act will be FUZZ by DJ Nano, with Chileno, Valcar, and Ardiya, maintaining the diverse and open nature of the event.
To enhance the experience, Mar de Jávea offers market areas, food trucks, catering, and VIP zones, with the support of the Jávea City Council and Entradas.com, solidifying its position as a cultural project with national projection.
