Festival Boreal returns to Los Silos on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 September 2026, bringing two days of music and culture to the north of Tenerife.
Now in its 19th year, Boreal has become one of the Canary Islands’ best-known international festivals, with a deliberately mixed and intergenerational programme.
The main festival area is at the Explanada del Parking del Centro Histórico de Los Silos, with music starting from 5:00pm.
Friday’s line-up
The first night features a strong mix of international and local artists, including:
- BCUC
- Aita Mon Amour
- The Neighbourhood Kids
- Hempress Sativa
- Renata Flores
- Rubio
- El Veneno Crew
- The Queen of Bass
- Pleito
- Jable
Saturday brings Aterciopelados and more
Saturday’s programme includes Colombian alternative rock favourites Aterciopelados, alongside Daddy C from Massive Attack, who will perform a DJ set.
Also appearing are:
- Imarhan
- Throes + The Shine
- Josyara
- Fuensanta
- Candeleros
- La Terrorista del Sabor
- Xerach
With artists coming from different countries and musical backgrounds, Boreal has always been about a bit more than sticking one particular genre on a stage and calling it a festival.
