In short
- Purple Weekend festival passes and Saturday tickets have sold out online; the organisers are still selling at two shops in León, and Friday and Sunday tickets remain available.
- The schedule is out: Sidonie play on Friday at 23:00 and Los Negativos on Saturday at 22:30, at Espacio Vías, and Sunday kicks off earlier, at midday, with Moundrag and La Perra Blanco.
- Sunday's Closing Party moves to Espacio Vías and is free for pass holders, with Los Desvelos as a new band; attendance must be confirmed via a festival form.
Three weeks before its 37th edition, Purple Weekend has changed the picture quite a bit for anyone who still doesn't have a ticket. The León mod festival, running from 4 to 7 December, has sold out its general festival passes and Saturday tickets online, has published the schedule for its gigs and DJ sets, and has moved its closing party to Espacio Vías, which is now free for pass holders.
Passes and Saturday sold out online
The organisers announced it on their social media on 12 November: general passes and tickets for Saturday 5 are sold out online. The festival's page on ctickets confirmed this on Sunday: the pass and Saturday tickets are listed as unavailable, while tickets for Friday 4 and Sunday 6, the Saturday session at the Glam Theatre and the Closing Party are still on sale.
There is still an option for those who prefer to buy in person. Since 12 November, the festival has been selling passes and day tickets at two shops in León: Chelsea British (Calle Varillas, 5) and Covent Garden 54 (Calle La Rúa, 15). The notice that passes and Saturday tickets have sold out refers to online sales; the organisers have not said whether those shops have any left, or how many, so it is worth asking there before you go.
All other tickets can be bought on ctickets and Ticketmaster. In October, a Friday ticket cost €45 plus €4.50 in fees and a Sunday ticket €30 plus €3, according to ctickets.
Purple Weekend 2026 schedule
The festival published the full running order on 13 November. The main gigs take place at Espacio Vías (Avenida del Padre Isla, 48):
- Friday 4: Neal Sugarman Organ Combo (20:00), ELLiS·D (21:30) and Sidonie (23:00).
- Saturday 5: The Len Price 3 (13:30), Little Barrie (19:30), The Loved Ones (21:00) and Los Negativos (22:30).
- Sunday 6: Moundrag (13:00) and La Perra Blanco (14:30).
Saturday has an afternoon gap filled by the Barcelona Mod Rules session at the Glam Theatre: Brighton 64 at 17:00, on the band's farewell tour, and DJ Eneida Fever! at 18:00. That session is still paid for separately from the pass.
The nights continue with the Allnighters. On Friday, Schaeffer McLean DJs at Espacio Vías at 00:30, and at 02:30 the party splits between Romita (Lee Petryszyn) and the Chelsea Bar (Eneida Fever!). On Saturday, Espacio Vías has Lee Petryszyn at midnight and Penny Drop and Alexandra Rose at 01:00, and at 02:30 there are sets at Romita (Mich Martial), Chelsea Bar (Néstor Orange) and Babylon (Ángel Snap).
During the day, the Alldayers take the DJs around the bars. On Saturday: Mighty Caesar and Mickey Monkey at the Nuevo Café Luna (13:30), and Penny Drop and Alexandra Rose at the Chelsea Bar and Amezissou at Babylon, both at 17:00. On Sunday: Amezissou at the Nuevo Café Luna (13:30) and Iván Los Giros at the Chelsea Bar (20:30).
The Closing Party: free with a pass, and with Los Desvelos
The other change concerns the finale. The Purple 37 Closing Party on Sunday 6 moves from the Glam Theatre to Espacio Vías and, according to the festival, pass holders can get in free with their wristband. Previously it cost pass holders €10. There is one condition: you must confirm attendance via the form the festival has posted on its links page to secure your place.
The party also adds a band to the line-up, Los Desvelos, at 17:30. They are followed by Los Giros at 18:15 and DJ Pedro Pablo at 19:00. Those without a pass can buy a Closing Party ticket on ctickets or Ticketmaster. ModoFestival may receive a commission if you buy through this link, at no extra cost to you.
The full line-up, with what each band brings, is on the Purple Weekend page and in our day-by-day line-up guide. Sidonie, who return to the festival 26 years after their debut in León, already have several festivals confirmed for 2027, and the rest of the long weekend is covered in the December festivals guide.
