If you are staying in one our villas in Lanzarote and are looking for something exciting to do in Lanzarote this week, Arrecife en Vivo is bringing live music, street performances and festival energy to the capital. The 2026 edition has been taking place across Arrecife during September and October, transforming popular areas of the city into open-air concert spaces. The festival is known for its relaxed atmosphere, free access and variety of Spanish and international music.
The Final Festival Date
The next and final major festival date is Friday, October 9, 2026. The evening will feature performances from:
- Vera Fauna
- O’Funk’illo
- M-Clan
- Adora
- Gunpowder
The concerts will take place in different areas of Arrecife, including La Plazuela, Marina Lanzarote and the historic centre. Gunpowder will open the programme at the Cajasiete stage in La Plazuela at 6:00 p.m.
More Than a Music Festival

Visitors can move between venues, explore the city and enjoy concerts in a lively street setting rather than staying in one traditional festival arena. This makes the event ideal for both residents and visitors. You can enjoy live music while discovering Arrecife’s restaurants, marina, waterfront and historic streets.
