A new edition of SonRías Baixas will be held between July 30 and August 1, just 20 minutes from Vigo and Pontevedra. The festival has a camping area 800 meters from the beach and the venue. You have all the detailed information on their website. JENESAISPOP reviews the most important part of its lineup, a celebration of national pop, in all its diversity.
Zahara «Rave»
The tour that Zahara is doing this year is different from that of ‘Lento ternura’ and at the same time different from the “rave” that she exhibited a few years ago. This is a celebration of LGTBIQ+ culture that features a message from Samantha Hudson from the screens, as well as nods to electronic music hits from the 90s (The Prodigy) or from our times (Lorde). There is also his eternal collection of hits, definitely the highlight of Friday, July 31.
Alcala North
The great revelation group of the last 3 years in Spain will lead the day on Thursday, July 30. Alcalá Norte naturally continues to play all the hits from their debut, such as ‘La vida canyon’ or ‘La calle Elfo’, but the news is that they have already prepared a second album from which they have previewed two songs: ‘The so-called Pythagoreans’ and ‘El hombre planeta’.
Barry B.
Barry B is in one of the sweetest moments of his career. On the one hand, the songs from ‘CHATO’ and ‘INFANCIA MAL CALIBRADA’ are still very popular, and on the other hand, he has continued adding interesting songs. Both his latest single ‘Silverado’ and his new folky collaboration with Gara Durán, ‘Una casa en el Teide’, have had a wonderful reception.
Gara Duran
Speaking of Gara Durán, his career is clearly on the rise, on the way to a long album that should arrive at the end of this year. If together with Barry he already dazzled in that wonder called ‘El lago de mi pena’, and with Natalia Lacunza in the beautiful ‘Placer de vivir’, alone he has stood out especially in the country ‘Mi loco cowboy’, already one of the Best Songs of 2026. If Barry B performs on Friday, July 31, Gara will do so on Saturday, August 1.
FASHION
Also a great country banger is ‘I don’t need you to be happy’ and much of the repertoire of La Maravillosa Orquesta del Alcohol. Clearly the most crowded concert on Saturday, August 1, will be an exhibition of hits in Spain, such as ‘1932’ and ‘Héroes del sabbath’, both double platinum in our country.
The Sticker
The same Saturday it will be the turn of La Pegatina, famous for having one of the most powerful live shows in recent decades in Spain. Echoes of ska, Latin music and nods to other popular songs known to everyone appear in a show that Gabriel Carey recently explained as follows: “It goes to the farra and farra is what there is.”
Biznaga
On the same Saturday there will be an underground rock exhibition as an alternative by Biznaga. The band continues playing the songs of the rebellious and generational ‘NOW!’, in which they contrasted “enthusiasm” with “disenchantment” and proposed “dissidence.” Surely there is no shortage of old songs like ‘Madrid belongs to us’ or ‘Against my generation’.
Youth
One of those small groups that can become big little by little are the duo JUVENTUDE, who have recently gone viral with jokes like ‘La motillo’ – the one about “but look how the fish drink in the river” – or the bombastic ‘Morir en Primavera’. There is no festival that can resist them and in SonRías Baixas you will be able to see them exactly on Thursday, July 30.
Twenty-one
After hits like ‘La vida modern’ – the great anthem against polyamory of our times – or ‘Dopamine’, Veintiuno are now preparing something big for September 4. That will be when ‘The Last Dance of Delirium and Balance’ arrives, an album that will include collaborations with artists as varied as Rufus T. Firefly, Grande Amore, DJ Nano and Siloé, Yarea… Half of the songs can already be heard, among others the one they have with Repion. They perform on Thursday the 30th.
Ultralight
Finally, another of the most successful groups of recent times, Ultraligera, will be the protagonists on Friday, July 31. His album, ‘Pelo de foca’, has been one of Promusicae’s most talked about sleepers in recent months, reaching around the top 75.
