Headliners
Calvi Harris, Robbie Williams, David Byrne, Dellafuente, Lily Allen, IDLES and many more
Bilbao BBK Live continues to unveil new names for its 20th-anniversary edition, which will take place on 9th, 10th, and 11th July 2026 at Kobetamendi. Joining the artists already announced are Calvin Harris, Dellafuente, Hemlocke Springs, Westside Cowboy, La Paloma, and BARRRK, as well as two special projects—Vampirina Club by Metrika & D.Basto and Hotcore Party: Taichu and Friends—that will expand the festival experience into the realms of club culture and collective celebration.
This latest wave of additions once again reflects the festival’s open spirit in its 20th year: a lineup that connects major international names, such as Robbie Williams, Lily Allen, Charlotte de Witte, David Byrne, IDLES, Alabama Shakes, and Interpol, with contemporary cultural phenomena and some of the most promising voices of the new scene, reinforcing the musical diversity that defines Bilbao BBK Live.
Bilbao BBK Live festival has been officially declared an Event of Exceptional Public Interest (EEPI) by the Spanish Government on the occasion of its anniversary. With this distinction, the festival becomes the first music event in the Basque Country to receive this designation, which is reserved for cultural, sporting, or social initiatives of special significance and international reach.
This designation not only acknowledges the festival’s legacy and its impact on culture and tourism, but also provides significant tax incentives for sponsoring companies in recognition of their contribution to the project, as established under the Patronage Law.
Each year, it brings together tens of thousands of attendees from around the world and has already surpassed one million cumulative visitors. Its lineup blends major names from the international music scene with emerging acts across genres such as rock, pop, electronic music, and other contemporary styles, creating a unique space where nature, music, and culture come together.
Artists who have played at Bilbao BBK Live include major headliners like Kylie Minogue, Pulp, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, as well as many other acts across various genres. Recent performers include English Teacher, Amaia, Hofe, Bad Gyal, Michael Kiwanuka, and Raye, while past lineups have featured bands like Metallica, Grace Jones, and Massive Attack.
