SpainThis weekend will see a unique situation in Spain where three major heavy metal/rock festivals coincide: Resurrection Fest in Viveiro (Lugo, July 1–4), Rock Imperium in Cartagena (Murcia, July 3–5), and Barcelona Rock Fest in Santa Coloma de Gramanet (Barcelona, July 3–5). Together, these festivals sell at least 80,000 tickets across their combined days. Resurrection Fest reported selling 140,000 tickets for its 2025 edition, despite controversy over the participation of the pro-Israel fund KKR. Similar attendance figures are expected for 2026. Over the years, these festivals have featured prominent acts such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Kiss, Rammstein, Slipknot, Scorpions, Megadeth, Deep Purple, Blind Guardian, and Yngwie Malmsteen, bringing together generations of hard rock bands under one banner.
