BRAVA Madrid will be held again in 2026, on September 18 and 19. Of course, it will change venue, again: this time La Caja Mágica will be the space that hosts the festival, after in 2025 it was forced to move to Torrejón de Ardoz due to complaints about noise from residents of the area. IFEMA has not hosted the festival since 2024.
The first preview of the poster for the 2026 edition of BRAVA Madrid will be known next Monday, March 2 at 12 noon.
BRAVA Madrid probably faces this year’s edition as a turning point, trying to leave behind the uncertainty that marked its 2025 festival, caused both by complaints related to the return of tickets after the change of venue, and by the controversy generated by the association of the organizing company, The Music Republic, with a company with ties to Israel, a situation that also affected other large festivals such as Sónar, Arenal Sound or the FIB.
Although the problems for BRAVA Madrid continue, since, recently, the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid has ratified the sanction of 96,000 euros imposed on the promoter of the Brava Madrid festival, Madrid Salvaje AIE, for forcing the use of cashless bracelets as the only means of payment and applying a charge for the return of the unspent balance in the 2023 edition, following the complaint filed by Facua-Consumidores en Acción.
