Tenerife Peñón Fest returns to Santa Cruz de Tenerife on 23 and 24 October, with Spanish rock legend Loquillo and pop star Amaia leading the line-up.
The festival takes over the Palmetum car park for two days of live music, bringing together ten artists from Spanish rock, pop and the indie scene.
Friday is all about guitars and rock, while Saturday shifts towards pop and indie, with a mix of established names and newer acts.
Friday: Loquillo brings the rock
Loquillo will close his 2026 tour at the festival, returning to the Canary Islands five years after his last visit.
He’ll perform his ‘Corazones Legendarios’ show, celebrating a long career packed with some of Spanish rock’s best-known anthems.
He’ll be joined by Pignoise, Maika Makovski and Biznaga, with local band Postcode opening the festival. DJ El Especialista Manel Ruiz will keep the music going between performances.
It’s a strong line-up for anyone who prefers their live music with a few guitars and plenty of energy.
Saturday: Amaia makes her Canary Islands debut
Saturday brings one of the festival’s biggest attractions, with Amaia performing her first-ever concert in the Canary Islands.
Known for her distinctive voice and individual style, she’ll headline a day focused on pop and indie music.
The line-up also includes La La Love You, Carlos Sadness, Melifluo and San Tosielo, who will get the day started.
Both days begin at 3pm, with music continuing into the evening.
More than just the music
There’ll be plenty to keep festival-goers occupied between sets, including food areas, places to relax and other activities.
The event is also attracting visitors from beyond the islands, with ticket sales reported across 35 Spanish provinces and interest from abroad. That’s another welcome boost for Santa Cruz’s growing reputation as a venue for major live music events.
Tickets are available for individual days or as a two-day pass through the official Tenerife Peñón Fest website and Tomaticket.
With Loquillo closing out his tour and Amaia making her island debut, this year’s festival has a couple of particularly good reasons to get the diary out.
