Aquasella turns thirty in 2027. The electronic music festival in Arriondas, which was born in 1997, will take place from Thursday 12 to Sunday 15 August 2027 and already has the first eleven names on its line-up: Ben Klock, Surgeon and FJAAK x KiNK live lead an announcement centred on techno. General sale opened on Tuesday 10 November, and the first batch of passes has already sold out.
Ben Klock, Surgeon and FJAAK x KiNK open the 30th anniversary line-up
On 3 November the festival unveiled the first line-up announcement for the edition on its social media: Alarico, Ben Klock, Cleopard2000, Chelina Manuhutu, Fernanda Martins, FJAAK x KiNK (live), Isabel Soto, Johannes Schuster, Natte Visstick, Surgeon and Überkikz. The organisers point out that the line-up is not yet complete.
The three headline names span different generations of the genre. Berlin's Ben Klock has been associated with Berghain for years; British artist Surgeon, the stage name of Anthony Child, has been one of the leading figures of Birmingham techno since the nineties; and the joint live set by Berlin group FJAAK with Bulgarian artist KiNK is the only live performance announced so far. The festival describes the rest as a mix of international figures and "new talent" who will be playing at the site for the first time.
It is a harder-edged announcement than those of other major electronic festivals in 2027, such as Sónar, which has opened its line-up with Carl Cox, Bonobo and Peggy Gou.
Aquasella 2027 passes: €89.90 after the first batch
General sale opened on Tuesday 10 November at 13:00 at the box office on the official website, which runs on Vivaticket. With the first batch already sold, the general pass currently available is the second batch, at €89.90 plus €10 in booking fees. It gives access to all the music areas and the festival's daytime area across all four days.
There are three ways to buy: a single payment, three consecutive monthly instalments (available only until 15 May; if an instalment is missed, the amount already paid and the right to the ticket are lost) and with the Bono Cultural Joven. Up to six passes can be bought per transaction, and each one requires the buyer's name, DNI, date of birth and postcode.
Four days at Praú El Merediz, in Arriondas
The festival returns to its usual site, Praú El Merediz in Arriondas, which the organisers call El Valle de la Música. It is an event for over-18s only. The camping area, which the festival calls the Zona de Descanso, will be sold separately at a later date, so for now the pass does not include anywhere to sleep.
According to the festival itself, its most recent editions sold out. The Aquasella page has information on this edition, and the rest of that month's events are in our August festivals calendar.
