Program & Schedule: What to Expect in 2027
Warm Up Estrella de Levante is a two-day city festival, typically running Friday and Saturday in early May. The 2027 lineup has not been announced. The established format is live bands, DJs and club sets across four stages, from guitar indie and alternative pop to electronic nights. In 2026 the site opened at 17:30 each day and the last sets ran until 06:00. Whether door times stay the same in 2027 will be confirmed with the official timetable.
Estrella de Levante hosts the main live moments, ElPozo King Upp leans into guitar and pop acts, Ballantine’s programmes restlessness and newer names, and ESC works as a club room with live electronic sets and DJs. A market, brand areas and rest zones sit around the music. Overlaps between stages are normal, so a weekend pass with re-entry is more practical than a day ticket if you want to move between stages, food and the market.

Visitor Tips: Travel & Accommodation in Murcia
- Getting there: Murcia del Carmen station (including high-speed trains), Región de Murcia Airport (Corvera) about 25–30 minutes away, or Alicante-Elche (about 80 km). City buses serve Recinto Ferial La Fica, next to the Auditorio and conference centre. Street parking is tight – use public car parks or public transport.
- Weather and clothing: early May in Murcia often brings 20–26 °C by day, cooler nights and possible short showers. Pack layers, comfortable shoes for a long night and a light rain jacket. Bags are typically limited to about 30 × 25 cm.
- Book rooms early: with around 52,000 visitors last time, hotels and apartments in the old town and along the Segura fill quickly. Staying central makes the hop to La Fica easier.
- Activate your festival wristband and top up cashless credit before you arrive to skip entry queues. Leftover balance has previously been refundable via the official site after the event.
- Day tickets usually do not allow re-entry; a two-day pass is better if you want stages, food and the market in one go. There is no camping on site.
