Starlite Occident Marbella unveiled 18 new international artists confirmed for its 2026 edition on Wednesday (March 18), including Gloria Trevi, Love of Lesbian, Rick Astley, Mora, Kool and the Gang, and Elena Rose.
The two-month “boutique” festival, which this year celebrates its 15th anniversary, has also confirmed Iván Ferreiro, Miguel Ríos, Alan Parsons, Malú, Vanesa Martín, Rosario, Pastora Soler, Gipsy Kings featuring Nicolas Reyes, Antonio José, Álvaro de Luna and Nil Moliner.
They join a previously announced lineup headlined by Lenny Kravitz, Maroon 5, Ozuna and Yandel, as well as Grupo Frontera, Manuel Turizo, Danny Ocean, Carlos Rivera, Gente de Zona, Mau y Ricky, Elvis Crespo and more.
Held every summer in a natural open-air quarry in Marbella, Spain, Starlite Occident brings together rock, pop, Latin music, electronic music, jazz and international vocal powerhouses, offering an experience that combines top-tier concerts, close proximity to the artists and a premium environment far from the typical mega-festival model.
This year, it returns from June to August, with exact dates yet to be announced. For more information about the program and to purchase tickets, check out the festival’s website.
With more than 350,000 attendees per edition and an international audience representing nearly half of its visitors, according to a press release, the festival has solidified itself as one of Marbella’s key cultural, tourist and economic drivers. At the same time, it maintains a strong philanthropic component through the Starlite Foundation, which has raised millions of euros for international charitable projects, integrating philanthropy into the heart of its mission.
