ROCK THE SUN FESTIVAL 2026
Rock The Sun will return to Barcelona on September 18 and 19, bringing together some of the most notable bands in hard rock, sleaze and international melodic rock. The festival will feature Eclipse and Michael Monroe as absolute headliners of a lineup that will complete two days of the best music at La Carpa del Poble Espanyol.
The lineup continues with essential names of the scene: Crazy Lixx, one of the most emblematic formations of modern hair metal; The Cruel Intentions, with its explosive mix of melodrama and sleaze; and Chez Kane, with its charisma and energy inherited from the best melodic rock of the 80s.
Treat will also arrive from Sweden, landing in Barcelona as part of their farewell tour, a unique opportunity to see the band for the last time on stage. The national representation will be made up of Kilmara, Jolly Joker, Lonely Fire and Redshark.
