Río Babel has announced the schedules for its next edition, which will be held again at the Miguel Río Auditorium in Rivas-Vaciamadrid on July 3, 4 and 5. It is another year free of major overlaps. In addition, the new addition of Orestes Gómez to Sunday’s programming is confirmed.
Bandalos Chinos will open the day on Friday the 3rd starting at 6:20 p.m. Iseo & Dodosound will continue the party at 7:20 p.m., partially coinciding with Machaka (7:55 p.m.), while Chambao will celebrate their 25th anniversary at 8:25 p.m. Amaia’s only concert in Madrid in 2026 will be held at 9:40 p.m., La MODA will take over at 11:00 p.m., La Pegatina at 12:35 a.m. and Ultraligera will say goodbye to the day at 1:50 a.m. Juventude and Louta, on the Ambar stage, will be at 10:20 p.m. and 12:00 a.m., respectively.
Saturday, July 4, will include performances by Oslo Ovnies (6:15 p.m.), Irepelusa (7:20 p.m.), Molotov (8:25 p.m.) and Chiquita Movida (10:00 p.m.), until the departure of headliners The Offspring, who will take the stage at 11:15 p.m. Caramelos de Cianuro (00:50h) and Son Rompe Pera (02:05h) will say goodbye to the most rocking day of Río Babel.

Finally, Sunday, July 5, will be the time of the highly anticipated Katy Perry concert, which will be on the Johnnie Walker stage at 10:25 p.m., for an hour and a half show. Previously, Tú Peleas Como Una Vaca (7:10 p.m.), Yami Safdie (8 p.m.) and Bomba Estéreo (9:05 p.m.) will have already performed their show. After Perry, farewell party by La Casa Azul, right at midnight. Orestes Gómez (6:20 p.m.) and Yadam (8:30 p.m.) won’t miss it either.
The Miguel Ríos Auditorium in Rivas-Vaciamadrid will have easy access by public transport thanks to the connection with the Rivas Futura metro station (Line 9, Zone B1) and different bus lines. There will also be taxi and VTC service throughout the event.
For those who come by private vehicle, the festival will have free parking with spaces assigned on a first-come, first-served basis and spaces reserved for people with reduced mobility. Likewise, Río Babel will make available to the public a return shuttle service to the Puerta de Atocha-Almudena Grandes Station at the end of the concerts.
