In short
- Saturday is the day of headliners Chambao: they play at 20:00, followed by Kaótiko at 22:10, while Friday is the most reggae night, with Iseo & Dodosound at 22:00 and the punk of Los de Marras at midnight.
- The two-day pass works out cheaper than buying both days separately: it costs €49.95 including fees, compared with €33.30 for Friday and €38.85 for Saturday.
- Camping is no longer sold online and has no electricity: those with a pitch can get in from 10:00 on Friday and should bring a torch, a power bank and warm clothes, as temperatures of between 10 and 12 degrees are expected in the early hours.
- The easiest way to get there is by car via the A-7: there is free parking a five-minute walk from the site and a shuttle bus runs around Totana for the duration of the festival.
Two years ago, Alfarera Fest was a one-day event in November with three concerts and just over 2,000 people. This weekend, in its third edition, it spans two days, two stages and a campsite at the Ciudad Deportiva Valverde Reina in Totana (Murcia), with Chambao, Kaótiko, Iseo & Dodosound, Los de Marras and La Sra. Tomasa topping the bill. The site opens on Friday 23 and Saturday 24 October from 17:00 to 05:00.
The festival was started by four friends from Totana who began by organising parties on a family plot of land, according to El Independiente in 2025, and it takes its name from the town's pottery tradition. It is organised by Alfarera Producciones, with the support of Totana Town Council and the Instituto de las Industrias Culturales y las Artes de la Región de Murcia. As well as the concerts, the programme includes crafts, food and cultural activities.
Alfarera Fest 2026 stage times: more reggae on Friday; Chambao and Kaótiko on Saturday
The organisers published the stage times for each day on 13 and 14 October, and we have also included them on the Alfarera Fest page. The line-up makes for two quite different nights. Friday is the most reggae, with Alberto Gambino, Iseo & Dodosound in the middle of the night and Awakate, plus the punk rock of Discordia and Los de Marras in between; the Madrid band play the following day at Rock Albox, in Almería. Saturday is more varied: it brings together headliners Chambao, who arrive on their 25th anniversary tour, and the punk of Kaótiko, from Álava, and it closes with the rap and funk of La Sra. Tomasa and the mestizo fusion of Las Hienas.
Friday 23, main stage
- 19:00-20:00: Alberto Gambino
- 20:30-21:30: Discordia
- 22:00-23:30: Iseo & Dodosound
- 00:00-01:00: Los de Marras
- 01:30-03:00: Awakate
- 03:00-05:00: Kursiva
Saturday 24, main stage
- 17:30-18:00: Amenaza Verde, who were not on the July line-up
- 18:30-19:30: Poncho K
- 20:00-21:30: Chambao
- 22:10-23:40: Kaótiko
- 00:20-01:30: La Sra. Tomasa
- 01:30-04:00: Las Hienas
The second stage, run by Dubnium Soundsystem and Leche de Tigre, opens at 17:00 on both days and schedules its sets during the changeovers on the main stage, so there are hardly any clashes during the night. They only overlap at the end: on Friday, Sr. Wilson and Belén Natalí DJ from 03:00 to 05:00 at the same time as Kursiva, and on Saturday Las Hienas (01:30-04:00) clash with the Jungleo and Guacamayo b2b and with the first hour of Loopstation, who close at 05:00.
In the early hours of Sunday the clocks go back: at 03:00 it becomes 02:00 again, so Saturday night has an extra hour. The organisers have not said whether the times of the last sets will be adjusted for the change.
Tickets: the pass is cheaper than two single days
Official sales are on Compralaentrada. These were the prices on 21 October, including booking fees:
- Two-day pass, €49.95 (€45 plus €4.95 in fees). It is now on its seventh price tier, although the ticketing platform's listing still advertises it ‘from €15’.
- Friday 23 ticket, €33.30 (€30 plus €3.30).
- Saturday 24 ticket, €38.85 (€35 plus €3.85).
- Camping ticket, from €10, and pass with camping, from €55: online sales of both are closed.
The two day tickets add up to €72.15, €22.20 more than the pass, so a single-day ticket only makes sense for those going on just one night. Saturday, the day of Chambao and Kaótiko, is €5.55 more expensive than Friday. On 6 October, the organisers said they had sold 87% of passes, 72% of Friday tickets and 75% of Saturday tickets. Tickets bought online are non-refundable, according to the festival's terms and conditions.
Camping: opens on Friday at 10:00 and there is no electricity
This is the first edition with camping. The area is a five-minute walk from the main stage, only those with a camping ticket can enter, and the official website lists showers, changing rooms, toilets and access control. Wristband validation and opening are on Friday at 10:00; on Sunday services stop at 12:00 and the campsite closes at 16:00.
The organisers warn that there is no electricity, so they recommend bringing torches and power banks, and that fires are prohibited. There will be a small market selling basic supplies, and the festival suggests bringing a bike to get around.
The weather is on side. The AEMET forecast for Totana, updated on 21 October, predicts no rain on either day and mostly clear skies, with highs of 26 degrees on Friday and 23 on Saturday. In the early hours, however, lows will be between 10 and 12 degrees: at five in the morning you will need warm clothes, both inside and outside the tent.
How to get to the Ciudad Deportiva Valverde Reina
The site is in the La Tira del Lienzo area, about a 25-minute walk from the centre of Totana. By car, take the A-7 motorway, Totana exit, and there is free parking a five-minute walk away. A circular shuttle bus runs around the town during festival hours, although its timetable and stops have not been published. For those coming from further afield, the nearest airports are Region of Murcia airport, in Corvera, about 40 minutes away, and Alicante-Elche, an hour away.
The official website describes the festival as suitable for all ages. The conditions for under-18s are not set out on the website or at ticket sales; the festival has a highlighted section on minors on its Instagram profile. Dogs are allowed, but must be kept on a lead inside the site. This week, sixteen bars and restaurants in Totana are also taking part in a food trail linked to the festival, with special dishes and prices. The rest of the region's events are in our guide to festivals in the Region of Murcia.
