Roses is set for another summer of live music, as Sons del Món has announced its full 2026 programme on 27 May. The festival will again centre on the Ciutadella de Roses, with main stage concerts, Village events and performances at wineries across the Empordà.
Pablo Alborán will open the festival on 25 July at the Ciutadella main stage. The singer’s only concert in Catalonia this summer will form part of his KM0 album tour. Other main stage names include Rosana, Fangoria with Nancys Rubias, Joan Dausà, Niña Pastori and a God Save The Queen tribute marking 50 years of Bohemian Rhapsody.
The programme also includes two special joint concerts. Lax'n'Busto will perform with Gossos, while Els Amics de les Arts, Blaumut and Ramon Mirabet will share the stage for the first time. These shows are scheduled for the week after the opening night.
At the DO Empordà wineries, the festival will offer a smaller-format series of concerts. Carlos Núñez is due to play at Celler Martín Faixó in Cadaqués on 11 August, Manu Guix at Celler Massís de l’Albera in Garriguella on 13 August, Quim Masferrer at Celler La Vinyeta in Mollet de Peralada on 15 August, and Roger Mas at Celler Vinyes dels Aspres in Cantallops on 21 August.
The Ciutadella Village will also return with food, nightlife and entertainment. Confirmed acts include Suu, La Tura d'Eufòria, ABBA Voices and the Guarres! podcast, alongside themed nights such as Bojos pels 90 and Remember Picasso, which pays tribute to the former Roses nightclub.
Other main stage dates include Rosana on 5 August, Niña Pastori on 6 August with her album Color Faina, Sergio Dalma on 7 August with Ritorno A Via Dalma, and Joan Dausà on 8 August with Immortals. Tickets for all events are on sale through the Sons del Món website. For more Catalonia-wide arts and culture coverage, see our news page.
