Dreambeach 2026 Is The Spanish Festival You Can't Miss
Dreambeach is moving to Velez Malaga on the Costa del Sol for July 31 and August 1 2026. David Guetta's exclusive Monolith Show, Eric Prydz, Nico Moreno, Paco Osuna and more across four stages just 2.6km from the Mediterranean. Here is everything you need to know.
Twelve editions in and Dreambeach is writing its most exciting chapter yet. The festival that has been one of the most important names in Spanish electronic music for over a decade is moving to a brand new home on the Costa del Sol, and the 2026 edition is shaping up to be the most ambitious and most memorable it has ever been.
Dreambeach is moving to to Velez Malaga for its 2026 edition, leaving behind its traditional location in Almeria and beginning a new chapter on the Costa del Sol. The 12th edition will take place at the Recinto Ferial de la Avenida Juan Carlos I in Velez Malaga, right on the Costa del Sol, which also brings a new name: Dreambeach Costa del Sol. Two days. One of the most stunning coastal settings in Europe. And a lineup that has already got the whole Spanish electronic scene talking.
A New Home On The Mediterranean
The new location is the Velez Malaga feria ground, near El Ingenio shopping centre and only 2.6km from the beach. That proximity to the Mediterranean is not a small thing. This new concept and relocation to the province of Malaga marks the start of a new trajectory linked to the most powerful brands on the electronic circuit.
The Costa del Sol in late July is everything you want a festival backdrop to be. Warm nights, blue skies, Andalusian culture all around you, and a coast that has been drawing people from across Europe for decades. Dreambeach in Velez Malaga is not just a festival. It's a reason to plan an entire trip around the end of July.
The Lineup
Dreambeach Festival 2026 brings the ultimate electronic music experience to Velez Malaga featuring David Guetta's exclusive Monolith Show centres around a 15 metre tall LED masterpiece delivering a 3D visual journey unlike anything seen before.
The confirmed lineup also includes Eric Prydz, Nico Moreno, Mathame, Hedex, Bou, Charlie Tee, DJ Zinc, Eptic, Hannah Wants, Jazzy, Lady Waks, Luciano, Stanton Warriors, NGHTMRE, Norbak, Pola and Bryson, and Vendex among many more.
The stage programming across the two days includes Blackworks, Now Here by Paco Osuna, DNB All Stars, Ritmika, and Hibrida, bringing techno, house, hard dance, bass music, and national Spanish talent together across a diverse programme with the Mediterranean as the backdrop. There's something exciting about seeing Paco Osuna curating his own stage at a festival of this size. It signals that Dreambeach 2026 is serious about giving the underground its moment alongside the big headliners.
Eric Prydz needs no introduction. One of the most breathtaking live acts in electronic music history, his sets are the kind that leave crowds completely speechless. Getting him on the bill for Dreambeach's debut on the Costa del Sol is a serious statement of intent and a set nobody should even think about missing.
Luciano brings something completely different to the bill. The Chilean born Ibiza legend is one of the most respected and beloved figures in underground house and techno, known for sets that are deep, hypnotic, and completely unpredictable. Having him on the Dreambeach 2026 lineup alongside Prydz and Guetta shows exactly the kind of festival this is becoming. Something for everyone who takes the music seriously.
