The Costa Blanca is gearing up for a season of music, with festivals of all sizes lined up to fill coastal towns with rhythm, culture, and celebration throughout July and August. From large-scale concerts to relaxed open-air performances, the region is embracing its role as a summer stage for both international acts and homegrown talent.
One of the biggest draws this season is the FIB festival in Benicàssim, just north of the region, which continues to attract festivalgoers from across Europe. Meanwhile, cities like Alicante and Elche will offer their own dynamic line-ups, with performances ranging from flamenco to indie, staged in gardens, plazas, and seaside venues.
Further along the coast, communities such as Altea, Denia, and Calpe are curating more intimate experiences, hosting live music in scenic spots where residents and tourists alike can enjoy local cuisine and handmade crafts alongside the sounds of summer.
Local councils are viewing the festival season as a key opportunity to support cultural engagement and stimulate the tourism sector. Funding has been directed toward infrastructure, safety, and promotion, with early signs suggesting a strong response from both audiences and the hospitality industry.
With its mix of coastal charm and musical variety, the Costa Blanca looks set to offer more than just sunshine this summer — it’s shaping up to be one of the liveliest cultural destinations in the country.
