Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2027

Sonorama Ribera in Aranda de Duero is built around two spaces: free concerts and activities in the historic centre during the day, and the ticketed programme at Recinto El Picón at night. Official FAQ times put doors at 18:30, with shows from about 19:00 until around 05:00 (about 03:30 on Wednesday). 8 August 2027 is designated as a morning of free, public programming only. Detailed 2027 set times and stage plots will be released closer to the event.

Musically the festival is known for Spanish indie, pop, rock, singer-songwriter and electronic acts, with a strong national focus and selected international guests. For 2027, Siloé is the first confirmed name; a full bill was not yet available. Wine, local food and the mix of recinto, town squares and camping are part of the identity. Inside the venue, payments use a cashless wristband; unused balance can be reclaimed via the official website after the festival.
