Don't Let Daddy Know

Don't Let Daddy Know Madrid is now looking ahead to 2027, after the brand did not go ahead with a new edition in the capital during 2026. The last solid reference is still the major event held on 8 February 2025 at IFEMA Madrid, a night that brought one of the most recognisable names on the EDM circuit back to the city. As of 9 April 2026 there is no new official announcement for Madrid, so this page now looks towards the next possible window.

Among the festivals in Madrid and the February season, DLDK occupies a very specific place: a big indoor night of commercial electronic music and spectacular production, with no multi-day format and no ambition to be a discovery festival. Its strength lies elsewhere: visual impact, global DJs and a large-venue experience that fits the scale of IFEMA very well.

How the last Madrid edition went

The 2025 return was built around a line-up firmly aimed at the mass EDM and commercial house audience. Names who played the event included:

• Dimitri Vegas
• Matisse & Sadko b2b Third Party
• Morten
• Nervo
• Oliver Heldens
• Robin Schulz
• Abel Ramos, Ardiya, Barce, Luigii Nieto and Michenlo

The event ran from 22:00 to 06:00, with production that will be very familiar to anyone who follows the brand: giant visuals, an indoor rave approach and a line-up designed to draw huge crowds.

What we know today about the future in Madrid

For now, the conclusion is simple: there is no date, line-up or active ticket sale for a new Madrid edition. The brand is still going strong internationally, but Madrid has not yet announced its next step. That is why this page is now focused on 2027, not on a 2026 edition that never materialised.

If it returns, the most logical fit would still be IFEMA, in terms of format, capacity and access. Past experience shows that the brand works well in a venue like this and that its concept is at its strongest when presented as a major one-night event.

• Edition being tracked: 2027.
• Confirmed dates: not yet.
• Last edition held in Madrid: 8 February 2025.
