Festivals near Madrid

In Madrid, summer doesn't hide in the shade — it plays out in the open, in the dry heat of the Meseta. Noches Del Botánico is its most quintessentially Madrid ritual, its stages tucked beneath the trees of the university's botanical garden, weaving songwriters, electrified flamenco and great Latin voices. At the other end of the spectrum, Mad Cool Festival rolls out its vast field of international rock and pop, while Río Babel carries the mixed Ibero-American rock heritage the capital holds dear.

But Madrid is a city of bass, too: its club culture spills onto the open air, from A Summer Story, the sprawling electro gathering on the city's edge, to the sharp nights of Time Warp Spain, which brings its benchmark techno to town. Between stadium-scale bills and indie digging, the Madrid line-up never settles into a single style.
