Festival Rocanrola

Rocanrola 2027 will take place in Alicante from Thursday 29 April to Saturday 1 May 2027, once again at Multiespacio Rabasa. The rap and urban culture festival already has passes on sale from €60 with no booking fees, a campsite for 2,000 people and eleven confirmed names, including Shotta, Piezas & Jayder, Hijos de la Ruina and HardGZ.

This edition repeats the May bank holiday formula it introduced in 2026, when the festival left its October dates behind, and comes with a change aimed at the neighbourhood: adjusted opening hours to improve relations with local residents.

Rocanrola 2027 dates and opening hours

The festival runs over three consecutive days, from 29 April to 1 May 2027. The organisers have already published the general opening hours for each day:

• Thursday 29 April: 15:00 to 00:00.
• Friday 30 April: 12:00 to 01:30.
• Saturday 1 May: 12:00 to 01:30.

Rocanrola explains that it has adjusted these hours to help local residents get some rest and, in its own words, to secure the future of rap, hip hop and its community. For festival-goers, the practical upshot is that on Friday and Saturday the site is open for more than thirteen hours, from midday, closing at 01:30, while on Thursday it opens mid-afternoon and finishes at midnight. There are no set times per artist or day-by-day line-up yet.

We covered the announcement of the dates, venue and campsite in the news story Rocanrola 2027 confirms its dates in Alicante.

Multiespacio Rabasa: venue and activities

The festival takes place at Multiespacio Rabasa in Alicante (Carrer de Xàtiva, 03009), the same venue that hosted the 2026 edition and where the 2025 edition had been planned. Alongside the concerts, the organisers are programming live graffiti, skateboarding and BMX, 3x3 basketball, freestyle and street dance on site, and the festival presents itself as an event that combines music, food and urban culture.

Payment on site works with a cashless wristband: when buying a pass, you must accept the terms and conditions of this system.

Rocanrola 2027 line-up: first confirmed acts

As of 14 October 2026, the official website confirms Shotta, Piezas & Jayder, Hijos de la Ruina, Cheb Rubën, Krisan, Denom, Jaloner y Dabe, HardGZ, Nadal015, Dobleo and Sosad. The festival is keeping slots open for further announcements, so the line-up is not yet complete.

The first batch brings together names from several generations of rap and urban music. Hijos de la Ruina and HardGZ were already on the 2026 line-up. For now there is no headliner with the pull of Kase.O, who was the main draw of the previous edition, and the upcoming announcements will show how ambitious 2027 is.

Rocanrola 2027 passes and prices

Tickets are sold on the official Rocanrola website, with no booking fees. These were the prices and availability shown in the official shop on 14 October 2026:

• Abono General: €60. Access to the general area on all three days, with a single entry to the site per day.
• Abono General Plus: €80. All three days with unlimited access: you can leave and re-enter.
• Abono General PMR: €60. Option for people with reduced mobility.
• Front Stage and VIP: could not be selected in the shop on that day.

Holders of the Bono Cultural Joven can use it through a dedicated purchase channel linked by the festival.

Under-16s must attend with their father, mother or legal guardian and bring a signed authorisation. Those aged 16 and 17 need a signed authorisation and a photocopy of the responsible adult's DNI. When purchasing, each pass is registered with the attendee's name and DNI.

Campsite and camper area

Rocanrola 2027 will have a campsite for 2,000 people under a large marquee, with showers, toilets and a food area. The Abono Camping is bought as an add-on to the festival pass, either at the same time or later, via the email in which the tickets arrive. Its price has not been published on the website.

There is also a camper area for caravans, motorhomes and camper vans. Each occupant of the vehicle needs their own camping ticket, because the toilets, showers and communal areas are inside the camping area.

Rocanrola 2026 in review

The 2026 edition took place from 30 April to 2 May at Multiespacio Rabasa and carried special significance: it marked the festival's return after the 2025 edition, planned for 9 to 11 October at the same venue, was cancelled due to the red weather warning in Alicante.

The 2026 line-up brought together Kase.O, Nach, Delaossa, Fernandocosta, Hijos de la Ruina, Toteking and Il Pekeño & Ergo Pro, a mix of leading figures with two decades in the business and newer names from Spanish rap. We looked back on that edition in Rocanrola 2026 closes the May bank holiday in Alicante. The names, opening hours and conditions from 2026 do not apply to the 2027 edition.
