In short
- Lion Rock Fest 2027 will take place on Saturday 6 November 2027 in León: the organisers announced the date three days after wrapping up their fourth edition.
- There is still no line-up, confirmed venue or tickets: the 2026 acts, headed by Michael Schenker, are not part of the new edition.
- In the meantime, the festival is presenting 2027 tours by Michael Schenker, Gotthard and Ktulu: tickets for Schenker go on sale this Thursday, 12 November.
Lion Rock Fest now has a date for its fifth edition. The León melodic hard rock festival will be held on Saturday 6 November 2027, as the organisers announced on their website on 10 November, three days after the 2026 edition. Beyond that, there is nothing for now: no line-up, no confirmed venue and no on-sale date.
Lion Rock Fest 2027: Saturday 6 November in León
The date keeps up the festival's habit of taking place on a Saturday in early November. The fourth edition was held on Saturday 7 November 2026, with Michael Schenker Group and Robin McAuley on vocals as headliners, alongside Kee Marcello, Dare and Girish and the Chronicles, who stepped in to replace Art Nation. According to the organisers, it drew more than 3,000 people from all over Spain and other European countries.
We looked back at that line-up, the stage times and the Renfe discount in our Lion Rock Fest 2026 guide, and the festival also featured in the festivals for the week of 2 to 8 November.
What we still don't know about Lion Rock Fest 2027
Almost everything else. The organisers have not announced any artists for 2027, nor the ticket price, nor when tickets will go on sale. Nor have they confirmed the venue: in 2026 the festival was held at the Palacio de Congresos y Exposiciones de León, with warm-up activities at Espacio Vías and Sala Babylon, but the 2027 announcement only mentions the city and the day.
The Lion Rock Fest page will be updated with the names and ticket sales as soon as they are published, and the rest of the events in the province can be found in festivals in León.
