MARBEPOP 2026

Parque Arroyo de la Represa, Marbella

The MARBEPOP is Marbella's youth-run pop-music festival, returning for a new edition to the Parque Arroyo de la Represa in the heart of town — nine uninterrupted hours of live music that mix national headliners with the best of the Costa del Sol's local scene. Organised by the Ayuntamiento de Marbella's Delegación de Juventud (@marbellajoven), it keeps its trademark close-up, uncrowded feel: a festive, natural setting where the artists and the crowd share the same riverside park. Beyond the main stage it runs the Factoría Joven, a space for young local artists and entrepreneurs, and carries a solidarity streak — part of the bar takings, through its reusable eco-cups, is donated to a local NGO. Recent editions have gathered artists such as Albany, Shego, Colectivo da Silva, Puya, Rxsado and Marco Lobato. Date 2026: not yet confirmed — the organiser's latest post looks back on last year and teases the next edition. Check @marbellajoven for the confirmed date and line-up. Entry: free in recent editions.
