Leyendas del Rock has officially unveiled the complete line-up for its 2026 edition, marking the 20th anniversary of one of Europe’s most respected and beloved rock and metal festivals. Taking place from August 5–8, 2026, in Villena, Alicante (Spain), the festival promises its most ambitious edition to date, bringing together legendary names, exclusive performances, and long-awaited debuts.
Leading the anniversary bill are Helloween, In Flames, Savatage, Godsmack, Arch Enemy, Slaughter To Prevail, WarCry, Sepultura, Black Label Society, and Saurom, alongside dozens of additional acts representing the full spectrum of heavy music, from classic heavy metal and power metal to melodic death metal, metalcore, and hard rock.
One of the most anticipated performances of the festival will come from Arch Enemy, who will make their first Spanish appearance with new vocalist Lauren Hart. Following her appointment as the band’s new frontwoman, Hart’s debut in Spain is expected to draw significant attention from fans eager to witness the beginning of a new chapter for the Swedish melodic death metal giants. Their appearance at Leyendas del Rock will be one of the defining moments of the festival and one of the most talked-about performances of the summer.
Another major attraction will be Godsmack, who are set to make history by performing their first-ever concert in Spain. Led by Sully Erna, the multi-platinum American hard rock and metal band will finally make their long-awaited Spanish debut after decades of international success. For many fans, this announcement alone represents one of the biggest highlights of the entire festival. Audiences can expect a powerful set featuring some of the band’s most iconic songs, including I Stand Alone, Awake, Voodoo, and Whatever, in what promises to be a landmark moment for both the band and Spanish rock fans.
Finnish power metal legends Stratovarius will also deliver a special performance focused on some of the most celebrated releases in their catalogue. The band has announced a setlist highlighting material from Episode, Visions, Destiny, and Infinite, offering longtime fans a rare opportunity to revisit some of the defining albums of European power metal.
The latest wave of additions further strengthens an already impressive bill, with acts such as dArtagnan, returning by popular demand, Thundermother, Guilt Trip, Lèpoka, and many more joining the anniversary celebrations. Festival-goers will also enjoy a special late-night appearance from Jordi Wild, adding a unique entertainment element to the event.
Chez Kane, Employed To Serve, Against Myself, and Xeria will hit the New Rock Stage on Friday, August 7th.
