❓FAQ
When is it and how long does it last?
From Wednesday 5 to Saturday 8 August 2026 at the Polideportivo Municipal in Villena, four days of concerts. The pass covers the whole run, and there is no single-day option for the campsite.
Is camping free?
There are two options. The fully fenced Acampada Sombra needs its own wristband, bought separately from the festival pass, and comes with security staff, lighting, waste collection and toilets. A free zone, unfenced and with unlimited capacity, sits further from the service area and is open to anyone; parking is free as well. The camping area opens on Tuesday 4 August at 10:00 and closes on Sunday 9 August at 14:00.
Where can you eat?
The campsite has its own service area with showers, bars and a food zone, while the camping marquee sells ice, drinks and food. You may bring your own food and drink into the camping area, unlike the pool enclosure where only water is tolerated.
Are children welcome?
Leyendas describes itself as kid-friendly: entry is free for under-13s, both for the festival and for the paid campsite, the pool being the exception since capacity control means everyone needs a wristband there. Under-16s must be with an adult and hand in the authorisation form at the box office. A ludoteca staffed by qualified monitors runs free of charge from Wednesday to Saturday, 16:00 to 21:00.
