Dreambeach Costa del Sol (Velez-Malaga, Spain) 2026

Dreambeach moves to the Costa del Sol for 2026, holding its twelfth edition at the Recinto Ferial on Avenida Juan Carlos I in Vélez-Málaga on 31 July and 1 August. The relocation ends the festival’s long run at Villaricos in Almería, where it had been staged since 2013, and comes with a new name, Dreambeach Costa del Sol, and a trimmed two day format across four stages. Vélez-Málaga council, the Junta de Andalucía and the Ministry of Culture are all listed as partners on the 2026 bill.

David Guetta tops the Saturday with a Special Monolith Show, his only Spanish date of the kind this summer. Friday 31 July is built around Eric Prydz, Nico Moreno and a Sasha and John Digweed set billed as exclusive to Spain in 2026, backed by Andres Campo, A.M.C, Hedex b2b Bou, Kanine b2b Andromedik, DJ Zinc, Lady Waks b2b Stanton Warriors and Pola & Bryson. Saturday gathers Loco Dice, Paco Osuna, Luciano, Nicole Moudaber, Mathame, Korolova, Brennan Heart, Eptic, NGHTMRE, SNTS and Zatox, with Hannah Wants, Norbak, Melanie Ribbe and Future Funk Squad b2b DJ Rasco further down the bill.

The stages are handed to established promoters rather than run in house, so the site splits into recognisable rooms: Blackworks for hard techno, Drum and Bass All Stars, Híbrida, LOOP, Now Here by Paco Osuna and Ritmika. That spread lets the two days cover techno, hard techno, drum and bass, tech house, melodic techno and hardstyle without any of them crowding the others out, which is unusual for a Spanish music festival of this size. Day tickets start at 49 euros and weekend passes at 89 euros, sold through the festival website, with VIP passes already sold out. An official bus service runs to the site and the festival operates a name change service for tickets.
