The eleventh Phe Festival in Tenerife is set to take place on September 4th and 5th, 2026, in Puerto de la Cruz. The first six artists have been announced, featuring Spanish acts Carlos Ares, Rufus T. Firefly, and Barry B. They will be joined by British artist Ona Mafalda, Argentine singer Natalia Doco, and Canarian artist Choclock.
These initial names were revealed after the first promotional Early Bird passes went on sale on September 14th, which also marked the announcement of Galician musician and producer Carlos Ares. Tickets for the 2026 Phe Festival are available at https://tickety.es/event/phe-festival-2026.
The confirmed artists offer a diverse range of music, including popular, fusion, electronic, urban, indie rock, psychedelia, and pop. More international, national, and local artists will be added to the lineup in the coming weeks.
The festival will once again feature live music across two main stages, showcasing international, national, and local talent. Additionally, the Phe Club stage, introduced in the tenth edition, will return with continuous programming dedicated to club culture, electronic music, and dance, featuring leading figures from the electronic scene.
Among the performers, Argentine singer Natalia Doco, who has lived in Paris since 2012, blends Argentine folk traditions, indigenous spirituality, and urban rhythms, creating a sound that connects continents and generations.
Ona Mafalda, with roots in the United Kingdom and Bulgaria, draws influences from artists like Florence and the Machine, The Strokes, Blondie, and Patti Smith. Her music combines the electric energy of alternative rock with contemporary pop, resulting in a bilingual and borderless sound.
Carlos Ares released his debut album, "Peregrino," in 2023, offering high-quality alternative pop with a clear folk sensibility. He followed this with his second album, "La boca del lobo," in May. Barry B is the musical project of Gabriel Barriuso García, which began in Aranda de Duero, Burgos, in 2019. Last September, he released the EP "Infancia mal calibrada," which gives its name to the tour he will bring to Phe Festival next year.
Rufus T. Firefly, the Madrid-based band led by Víctor Cabezuelo and Julia Martín-Maestro, is known for its sophisticated energy and sound, creating a magical rock atmosphere with clean and highly addictive psychedelic elements in their productions and live shows. The band has returned to the studio with their album "Todas las cosas buenas," which they will present at Phe.
Canarian artist Choclock, whose real name is Sergio Bruno Miguel Delgado, is recognized as one of the most versatile artists in the music scene, known for his ability to fuse genres and create melodies that resonate with audiences.
