- A standing floor ticket costs €49.50 including fees, and numbered seats in the first tier cost €55 or €66 depending on the area.
- Doors open at 16:00 and the music starts at 17:00, for around seven hours of concerts; under-18s also need a ticket, from the age of zero.

Locos por la Música returns to the Roig Arena in València on Saturday 19 December 2026 with a line-up of Spanish pop and rock from the eighties, nineties and noughties: M Clan, Duncan Dhu, Despistaos and Ella Baila Sola at the top, followed by Los Toreros Muertos, Alejo Stivel, Guaraná, Melocos and Javier Ojeda. With five weeks to go, tickets, which are numbered except on the floor, are on sale on the venue's website.
The Locos por la Música Valencia 2026 line-up
The venue lists four headliners:
- M Clan, Carlos Tarque's band from Murcia.
- Duncan Dhu, the San Sebastián group led by Mikel Erentxun and Diego Vasallo.
- Despistaos, from Guadalajara.
- Ella Baila Sola.
The day is rounded off by Los Toreros Muertos, Alejo Stivel, Guaraná, Melocos, Javier Ojeda and La Banda del Pop, plus sets from DJ El Pulpo and DJ Theo. Neither the Roig Arena website nor the organisers have yet published the running order or set times for each act.
The festival is organised by Sena Productions, and the Fundación Asindown, which works for the inclusion of people with Down syndrome and intellectual disabilities, returns as its partner charity.
Tickets: from €49.50 to €66

Times, under-18s and getting there
The Roig Arena opens its doors at 16:00 and the programme starts at 17:00, and the venue promises seven hours of live music.
Everyone needs a ticket, including under-18s from the age of zero. At the entrance, each minor is given a wristband that must be kept visible throughout the concert, and the venue refers to its policy on minors for authorisations.
Those coming by car can use the venue's own car park, Mapfre Parking Roig Arena: paying through its app makes parking 30% cheaper.
Second edition at the Roig Arena, with a new line-up
The festival debuted in València in 2019, at La Fonteta, and moved to the Roig Arena on 13 December 2025, with Revolver, Seguridad Social, Los Rebeldes, La Guardia, Amistades Peligrosas and Rafa Sánchez among the acts announced. None of them return in 2026: this year's line-up changes completely and opens up to bands that found success in the noughties, such as Despistaos and Melocos.
Locos por la Música is also the name of other Spanish pop and rock events in various cities. The most recent was in Cáceres, on 7 November, at the Recinto Ferial and also with Los Toreros Muertos on the bill: it is a different festival, with a different venue and separate ticket sales. The rest of the month's events can be found in the December 2026 festivals and in the December festival calendar.
