Phe Festival is back in Puerto de la Cruz this week, with two nights of live music, DJs, art, wine, sport and the sort of late-night activity that makes getting up on Sunday morning slightly questionable.
The 11th edition takes place on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 September 2026 at the Explanada del Muelle, right beside the harbour in central Puerto de la Cruz.
And there is considerably more going on than just the headline acts.
Phe Festival 2026
The main festival features two live music stages, plus the Ron Guajiro Phe Club, which has its own electronic music programme.
This year’s lineup includes Fat Dog, Ibibio Sound Machine, Bodega, Getdown Services, Carlos Ares, Natalia Doco, Barry B, Rufus T. Firefly, ARXX and VVV [Trippin’ You], among others.
The electronic programme is pretty decent too, with Roman Flügel, Phil Hartnoll from Orbital, Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip, Yung Prado and others taking over the third space.
So if guitar bands aren’t really your thing, you haven’t been completely forgotten.

Again, the doors close at 03:30.
It isn’t just about the music
One of the things that makes Phe a little different from your standard music festival is the amount of stuff happening around it.
There is Phe Gallery, Phe Wine, Phe Yoga, BMX Water Jump, urban sports and Phe Circular, alongside various cultural and environmental activities.
Phe Gallery is running until 6 September at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Eduardo Westerdahl (MACEW) inside the Casa de la Aduana.
There are also Gallery Talks, guided visits and other activities connected with the exhibition.
BMX, yoga and wine
The BMX Water Jump takes place at the Puerto de la Cruz fishing harbour on Friday 4 September. Riders launch from a ramp towards the water, which is considerably more entertaining than watching someone ride a BMX around a car park.
On Saturday, Phe Yoga takes place from 10:00 to 14:00, although advance booking is required.
There is also Phe Wine, bringing Tenerife’s wine scene into the festival programme. One of the events is a KM.0 wine tasting and creativity workshop at Barrica de Los Momentos on Wednesday 2 September.
Things start before the festival
The wider programme actually begins on Wednesday 2 September.
There are Gallery Talks, wine tasting, a live podcast and the Phe Festival Sunset Welcome Party at Callao Puerto de la Cruz on Thursday evening.
The guided visits to the Teide Observatory on 2 and 3 September are already sold out, so you’ll need to find another excuse to go up there.
Tickets for Phe Festival 2026
Tickets and two-day passes are available, although prices can change as the different ticket phases sell through.
The safest option is to check the latest availability directly before buying.

The main festival takes place at the Explanada del Muelle in Puerto de la Cruz, within easy walking distance of Plaza del Charco, the old town and many hotels and apartments.
If you’re staying in central Puerto de la Cruz, there’s really no need to start worrying about parking. Your feet are perfectly capable of doing the job.
