LOS40 Summer Live 2026: Complete Guide to the Costa Blanca’s Free Concert Tour

Summer evenings on the Costa Blanca are about much more than beaches and sunsets.

Every year, thousands of music fans gather across Spain for LOS40’s free summer concerts, among the country’s biggest travelling music events. The concept is simple but hugely successful: free admission, popular Spanish artists and open-air performances in some of the country’s favourite summer destinations.

In 2026, the LOS40 brand returns to the Costa Blanca with four major free events. Alongside the three official LOS40 Summer Live tour stops, visitors can also enjoy LOS40 Playa Pop Benidorm, which opens the region’s summer concert season at the end of June.

Whether you’re spending your holiday on the coast or exploring inland towns, there’s a good chance you can enjoy a live concert without spending a euro.


What Is LOS40 Summer Live?

Organised by Spain’s leading music radio station, LOS40 Summer Live has become one of the country’s most anticipated summer tours.

Instead of taking place in a single venue, the festival travels from city to city throughout July and early August, bringing together established artists and rising stars of Spanish pop.

Admission is completely free, making it one of the best-value music events of the summer.

📍 El Campello – 20 July 2026

The first Costa Blanca stop takes place in the seaside town of El Campello, just a short drive north of Alicante.

Avenida Ausiàs March
(Esplanade next to the Local Police Headquarters)

This waterfront location has hosted previous editions of the tour and provides plenty of open space for large crowds.

  • Walls
  • La La Love You

Why Visit?

If you’re already staying in Alicante, San Juan or El Campello, this is probably the easiest concert to reach.

Spend the afternoon on the beach, have dinner nearby and stay for a free evening of live music.

Local tip: Arrive well before sunset. The best viewing spots fill quickly and parking becomes increasingly difficult later in the evening.


📍 Villena – 22 July 2026

Two days later, the tour heads inland to the historic city of Villena.

Although many visitors know the town for its impressive castle and medieval streets, one night each summer it transforms into one of the province’s biggest free concert venues.

  • La La Love You

Additional emerging artists and the LOS40 DJ show complete the evening’s programme.

Why Visit?

Villena offers something different from the coastal resorts.

If you’re interested in combining history, local gastronomy and live music, this stop is well worth considering.

During the day, don’t miss Atalaya Castle, one of the best-preserved medieval fortresses in the Valencian Community.


📍 Alcoy – 23 July 2026

The Costa Blanca leg of the tour finishes in Alcoy, a city famous for its bridges, mountain scenery and the spectacular Moros y Cristianos celebrations.
