Monkey Week 2026 day by day: Nacho Vegas on Friday, Camellos and Catupecu Machu on Saturday, and single-day tickets from €50

Monkey Week has now announced which day each artist plays. The showcase festival in El Puerto de Santa María has split its line-up across three days, from Thursday 19 to Saturday 21 November, and the day-by-day split has brought something that did not exist in October: single-day tickets. Until now only passes were on sale, so anyone wanting to see a particular artist had to pay for at least two nights without knowing which one they would be playing.

The breakdown comes from the day-by-day posters the festival released alongside the programme for Monkey PRO, its industry strand. What is still unknown is what time and in which venue each act performs. The ticket sale, on DICE, gives doors opening on Thursday at 20:30 and activity ending at 5:00 in the early hours of Sunday.

Thursday 19: Lorena Álvarez, Fillas de Cassandra and Sienna open Monkey Week

Thursday is the shortest night, with 19 acts. The most recognisable names are Lorena Álvarez, Fillas de Cassandra, Sienna, Anne Lukin and Las Nietas del Charli.

The full Thursday line-up: 1111, Alba Morena, Anne Lukin, Clyde, EL ZID, Fillas de Cassandra, Go Cactus, Javi Medina, Kara Boi, Las Nietas del Charli, Lorena Álvarez, Maximiliano Calvo, Nenazas, Pablo y los Ciervos Dorados, Penny & The Pits (Canada), Poster Boy, Sienna, Toldos Verdes and Troya. Clyde also takes care of the club side of that night.

Friday 20: Nacho Vegas, María Terremoto and the first night of clubs

Friday brings together 42 acts and many of the best-known names. Nacho Vegas presents Semipreciosuras with a special concert: according to the festival website, his usual band and choir will be joined by the voices of the Escolanía Jardín Menesteo. Also playing that night are the flamenco singer María Terremoto, Mujeres, Los Nastys, Mala Gestión and Carmen Lancho, as well as many of the international artists: Fulu Miziki, The Zawose Queens, Kabeaushé, Cave Story and The Null Club.

The full Friday line-up: Agustina Giovio, Asia Menor, BAF, Baile Entero, Broke Carrey, Carmen Lancho, Cave Story, Cortada, El Diablo de Shanghai, Fidju Kitxora, Fulu Miziki, Gazella, GROAL, Hadren, Kabeaushé, Ke Lepo, La Jvnta, Laaza, Laura Katze, Lela Soto & David Cordero, Linlin, Los Nastys, Magalí Sare, Mala Gestión, María Terremoto, Meritxell de Soto, Mujeres, Nacho Vegas, Nico, Párpados, Rosin de Palo x Alba Calva, Roy Borland, Sardiné, Sedientos de Cumbia, Steve Wynn, Stivijoes, Tal!!!, The Black Wizards, The Null Club, The Zawose Queens, Travo and Victorias.

One name comes in two versions: the festival website announces Steve Wynn with Chris Cacavas, of Green on Red, while the Friday poster pairs him with Juana Everett.

The clubs start in the early hours. On Friday the DJs are Brecha Club, with French producer King Doudou, Pewii, Barandi and Pableau; the collective Las Diñas (Louma, Blan-K and Arisska); and the Dabadaba Party, with LaMiaMari and Alai b2b Juanta. The press release refers to ‘Friday 19’, a typo: Friday is the 20th, and that is how it appears on the clubbing poster.

Saturday 21: Camellos, Catupecu Machu and the longest finale

Saturday is the longest day: 45 acts on the showcase circuit. Among them are Argentina's Catupecu Machu, the veterans of the final batch of announcements, and several Spanish indie names with their own following: Camellos, Parquesvr (billed as Parquesvr & Amigos), Lisasinson and CERVATANA. Also playing are Rebe, Blaya and Construimos Escaleras.

The full Saturday line-up: Adiós Adiós, Amor Líquido, ANADIE, As Ánimas, BB Asul, Ben Yart, Blaya, Camellos, Cancamusa, Catenaccio, Catupecu Machu, CERVATANA, Chicoblanco, Cómo Vivir en el Campo, Construimos Escaleras, Duna, El Iceberg, El Virtual, Estrellas del Rap Nacional, Fresquito y Mango, GAF & The Love Supreme Arkestra, Guilherme Zapata, Jade4, Jordi Ganchitos, Laura Diepstraten, lian:e, Lisasinson, Los Lagos de Hinault, Macaca Radiata, Maquina., Maria del Tango, Maria Reis, Mariagrep & Mundo Prestigio, Marte Lasarte, Me Acuerdo de Todo, Memocracia, Natxo, Paco Te Quiero, Par.sek, Parquesvr & Amigos, Rachid B, Rebe, Stuzzi, SVSTO and Sweet Yuyu.

Saturday night has three parties: Stigma Tribale, with Morvo and Duckman; Bistec Music, with Bella Kanela, a live set from Brava, PatataOnStereo and Estrellas del Rap Nacional; and Los Dominguito, with MBreaks, CRKS290, Rafffael and Mondongo Boy. On that day the clubbing poster also adds lian:e and a 360-degree stage with Chicoblanco and Sweet Yuyu.

Single-day tickets for Monkey Week: prices and when the pass is worth it

Tickets are still on sale on DICE, which shows final prices. These were the prices on 13 November:

• Thursday ticket: €50.06.
• Friday ticket or Saturday ticket: €64.52 each.
• Weekend pass (Friday and Saturday): €105.68. On 23 October it cost €94.56.
• Full pass (Thursday, Friday and Saturday): €111.24.
• Under-25 weekend pass: €27.81, for those born on or after 1 January 2001, with a DNI ID card required when exchanging it.
• PRO accreditation (Wednesday to Saturday): €139.05.

The maths is simple. A single-day ticket only pays off if you are going for just one night. Separate Friday and Saturday tickets add up to €129.04, €23.36 more than the weekend pass. And the difference between the weekend pass and the full pass is €5.56, which is what it costs to add Thursday. For under-25s, the youth pass is still by far the cheapest option, although it does not include Thursday.

No ticket guarantees a place at every concert. The wristband gives access to the festival venues, but each one has its own capacity, and the organisers recommend arriving early for whatever interests you most.

Monkey PRO: festivals congress and music supervisors on Thursday and Friday

The daytime hours are for the industry strand. Monkey PRO kicks off on Wednesday 18 with a cocktail reception in the courtyard of the Castillo de San Marcos and fills Thursday 19 and Friday 20 with panels, workshops and meetings, almost all of them at the Bodega de Mora Osborne. The published programme already includes times and rooms.

The centrepiece is once again the 4th Live Music Festivals Congress of the FMA, the festivals association, with panels on regulations and licences, contracts and cancellations, public funding, and the festivals' pact against sexual violence and hate crimes. The FMA will also present its report on the sector's impact. The Asociación de Promotores Musicales will debate stadium tours and artist residencies with Doctor Music and Ártica.

The other pillar is sync: the Suntracks meeting brings together music supervisors from film, TV series and advertising, such as Camilo Lara (Coco) and Mark Garfield of Pop-Up Music, an agency that has worked on Stranger Things, with listening sessions and speed meetings with artists and publishers. Radio 3 will broadcast special editions of Generación Ya and Capitán Demo there and hold its Battle of the Bands, with more than twenty groups according to the organisers.

To plan your trip, the Monkey Week guide lists the venues and how to get there. The announcement of the full line-up, with who is bringing each artist, is in our story on the completed line-up, and the other events on those days are in the festivals for the week of 16 to 22 November.
