First published
Arena Negra takes place on 6 and 7 November, with a rest area, special bus services and confirmed concert times.
Arena Negra 2026 will bring two nights of live music to Gran Tarajal beach in Fuerteventura on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 November. The festival will also have a rest area and special bus services, according to Noticias Fuerteventura.
The outlet reports that the rest area is for people who want to stay for the weekend without travelling elsewhere. The Cabildo’s transport department is arranging special bus services. Details of both services are available at https://culturafuerteventura.es/festival-arena-negra-2026/.
Saturday’s Arena Negra de Día programme will take place at the Gran Tarajal fairground, according to the same report. The line-up features Andrea Rodríguez y la Banda del Trópico, Kilombo Improvisado, NIA, ContraVentura and Timbeque.
Actress Mariam Hernández will host both nights of the festival. LOS40 DJ and radio presenter Óscar Martínez will open each evening at 19:30. Onda Fuerteventura has reported the concert times. These are also confirmed in the Cabildo de Fuerteventura’s published programme.
On Friday, Merche will open the concerts at 20:00, followed by Rosana at 22:00. Álvaro de Luna will perform at midnight. Juan Magán will follow at 01:45 in the early hours of Saturday.
Saturday evening will again begin with Martínez at 19:30. Los Secretos will perform at 20:00, followed by Luis Fonsi at 22:00. Delaossa will take to the stage at midnight. Lauta will follow at 01:45 in the early hours of Sunday. Martínez will also play between performances and lead the closing DJ sessions on both nights.
Hernández was born in Puerto del Rosario and has worked in film and television for nearly 20 years. Her credits include “Amar es para siempre”, “Gym Tony” and “La Caza. Irati”. She has also worked as a presenter and contributor on television and radio.
Ahead of the festival, Hernández has worked with the organisers to share a message about protecting the beach. She has used her social media channels to ask those attending to leave it as clean as it was before the weekend.
