The cultural event that bids farewell to summer in Puerto de la Cruz
The first few days of September once again place Puerto de la Cruz at the heart of the Canary Islands’ cultural scene. On 4 and 5 September 2026, the city will host a new edition of the Phe Festival, an event that combines music, art, urban sports and creative experiences in a unique seaside setting. Over the years, Phe has established itself as an unmissable event for those seeking to enjoy a different, vibrant end to the summer, packed with contemporary offerings.
The festival has already confirmed an initial line-up of artists who will feature on this year’s programme, with styles ranging from alternative pop to electronic music, including urban sounds and international acts.
Official line-up for the Phe Festival 2026
The Phe Festival 2026 has unveiled a preview of artists that reflects the essence of the event: fresh, creative acts with a strong stage presence. Each brings their own unique style, creating a varied programme designed to ensure two full days of live music.
- Getdown Services: An international act that stands out for its energy and blend of alternative sounds. Their presence adds an experimental and highly distinctive touch to the line-up.
- Ibibio Sound Machine: The London-based project combines electronica, funk and African roots in a vibrant, rhythm-filled live performance. Their sound is one of the most unique of this edition.
- Bodega: The New York band brings guitars, attitude and a very personal take on alternative rock. Their concerts are usually intense, dynamic and with a very distinct aesthetic.
- Carlos Ares: The first Spanish artist announced for this year’s festival. His intimate, emotional and contemporary style has made him one of the most interesting emerging voices on the current scene.
- Barry B: An urban act with its own distinct identity, bringing freshness and a direct connection to the new music scenes.
- Rufus T. Firefly: One of the most respected bands on the Spanish indie scene. Their atmospheric sound and polished stage presence guarantee a live performance full of nuance.
- Natalia Doco: The Franco-Argentine artist brings sensitivity, roots and a musical style that blends folk, pop and Latin American rhythms.
- Choclock: One of the leading names on the Canarian urban scene. His smooth, melodic and contemporary style fits perfectly with the spirit of the festival.
- Ona Mafalda: A rising voice in alternative pop, with a carefully crafted aesthetic and a sound that combines elegance and modernity.
Furthermore, the organisers have announced “more artists to be confirmed”, adding to the anticipation for a programme that surprises every year with its diversity.
Much more than music: sport, art and activities for everyone
The Phe Festival stands out for its ability to integrate different disciplines into a single event. In the days leading up to and following the concerts, Puerto de la Cruz hosts activities that transform the city into a vast cultural space.
Among the highlights are:
- Urban sports, such as the popular BMX jump into the sea from the pier.
- Phe Yoga, a mass gathering in the Jardines de Playa Jardín.
- Family activities, workshops and outdoor events.
- The Phe Festival group exhibition at San Felipe Castle, featuring painting, sculpture, photography, installations and performance art.
This combination of music, sport, wellbeing and contemporary art is one of the festival’s hallmarks, inviting visitors to experience Puerto de la Cruz from a creative and contemporary perspective.
