One of Madrid’s most atmospheric summer festivals, Noches del Botánico, has published the full lineup for its tenth season. The festival will run from 3 June to 31 July 2026 at the Real Jardín Botánico Alfonso XIII. Over the course of two months, the venue will host more than 50 concerts featuring around 60 artists.
The festival will open on 3 June with the Omega de Morente project and close on 31 July with performances by Cultura Profética and Çantamarta. The line-up spans a wide range of genres, from pop and indie rock to jazz, electronic music and symphonic shows.
Among the standout names in June are Spanish singer Rigoberta Bandini (4, 5 and 6 June), American artist Ethel Cain (9 June), bands Ginebras (13 June), Love of Lesbian (15, 16 and 17 June) and M Clan (20 June), Spanish guitarist Yerai Cortés (21 June), Antoñito Molina (27 June) and Van Morrison (30 June).
July includes concerts by jazz pianist Jeff Goldblum and Take Me to the River (2 July), film composer and long-time Tim Burton collaborator Danny Elfman (6 and 7 July), French electronic music pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre (10 July), bands Babasónicos and El Zar (13 July), Belle & Sebastian (16 July), Rick Astley (17 July), ZZ Top (20 July) and Grammy winner John Legend (22 July).
Towards the end of the festival, there will be performances by León Benavente and Él Mató a un Policía Motorizado (23 July), Argentine pop star María Becerra (24 July), LP (29 July) and British pop legend Tom Jones (30 July). Also appearing on the programme are Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, Babasónicos, León Benavente and Él Mató a un Policía Motorizado.
The festival venue opens long before each concert, so visitors can stroll through the botanical garden, dine at the food areas, visit the wine bar or explore the local market before the sun goes down ahead of the performance.
Tickets are sold separately for each concert, with some already available via the festival’s official website. A new wave of ticket sales will begin on 17 February at 12:00.
