The Region of Valencia is a land of music, artists and festivals. Discover the best of what’s going on.
The Region of Valencia is known around the world for its traditions, beauty, gastronomy and culture. A culture that reaffirms our musical and artistic roots and demonstrates the importance of both on our history. Each and every one of our customs is defined by music, fun and art, transforming the region into a land of festivals where you can really enjoy the music.
In recent years, our rich and long music tradition has developed into music tourism: a new and increasingly popular way of travelling in which the focus is on music. For young people, festivals which bring together crowds of people to enjoy local, national and international groups and artists are the highlights of the year.
Festivals in the Region of Valencia
Festivals are music lovers’ dreams; incredible experiences offering you the opportunity to connect with the live music, jump around with your friends, dance, sing and simply have a great time. Castellón, Valencia and Alicante are the epicentre of festivals in Spain. Each of the areas in these provinces holds dozens of jazz, rock, pop, indie and reggae festivals, proving, year on year, why the Region of Valencia is a landmark where music is concerned.
Festival de les Arts in València, the world-famous Festival Internacional de Benicasim (FIB), Arenal Sound in Burriana and the famous Low Festival in Benidorm are just some of the international festivals held in the Region of Valencia. Each year thousands of people flock here with one sole mission: to live the music to the fullest.
The great weather, beauty and stunning landscapes mean that outdoor festivals and concerts can be held throughout the year in the Region of Valencia. Excellent opportunities to showcase local artists, composers and groups who are at the beginning of their career. Yet more proof that the Region of Valencia has always been and will continue to be a land of musicians.
Music groups in the Region of Valencia
That said, music in the Region of Valencia goes beyond festivals. There are about 2,000 music associations in the region, that is to say bands, orchestras, choirs, big bands, chamber groups and much more. It has been calculated that the Region of Valencia has, on average, over three groups per town or village. A figure that shows just how widespread music is across the region and the importance of valuing and protecting the cultural treasures that are most dear to us.
Visiting Castellón, Valencia and Alicante therefore becomes synonymous with jumping into the customs, traditions and artistic values of the Region of Valencia. Traditions that cannot be conceived without music and that give you the opportunity to feel, value and fully live the art. So why not take part in the incredible selection of music events in the region and see what the fuss is all about for yourself?

Live flamenco in the courtyard of a 16th-century manor estate, once the sun has gone and the stone still holds the heat of the day. The musicians are from the comarca and play a metre from whoever is listening.
This is not a tablao. There is one table and one group, because the house is let whole and never shared. That changes what happens: flamenco turns out differently depending on who is in front of it, and with fourteen people at most, the musicians play for those fourteen and not for a room.
It usually starts with the guitar alone, while people are still at the table, and builds from there. What comes next depends on the night. There is no fixed set and no marked finishing time.
The courtyard is enclosed by the façade of the house, with its arches of Andalusi descent and the ceramic friezes of citrus fruit running along the wall. Above them, the Virgen de los Desamparados painted on ceramic two centuries ago. It is a place with an acoustic of its own, made of wall and not of loudspeaker.
The experience is offered on the estate to those staying in the house and is arranged before arrival, because it depends on the musicians' availability.

The medieval music festival held in this historic space of the Monastery of Santa María revolves around the figure of King Jaume I with conferences, concerts of ancient music and didactic and family concerts.
At Turiart we have created an experience for all the senses. This is how our most sensory experience, the secret concerts in Valencia, was born. We have brought together music, good company and local wine.
These private concerts create an aura of secrecy that must be maintained at all times. Only 24 hours before the concert the exact location of the concert will be known, it could be on a rooftop with a view, in an art gallery or in a hidden bookshop, but it will never be far from the city centre.
We are interested in offering a unique experience, as well as introducing local musicians, with 1 or 2 performances per concert. The band is revealed at the beginning of each performance to keep the intrigue going until the end.
