Madrid is getting ready for one of its most ambitious festival takeovers of the year. elrow Town is set to become a massive experience for May 1, when over 35,000 attendees will gather at the Recinto Ferial de Torrejón de Ardoz for a 12-hour dance marathon. Names like Paco Osuna, Luciano and Joris Voorn lead a roster of over 50 artists.

This year’s edition stands out for its exclusivity. It will be the only elrow Town event in Spain in 2026, raising the stakes in terms of scale and production. The festival builds a temporary city inside the Mediterranean country’s capital. A place where music, art, and audience interaction blend into a fully immersive environment. Expect a format that moves beyond a standard lineup into something closer to a living, breathing experience.

The lineup reflects ambition and the preferences of both the Spanish and the European public. Fatima Hajji, Adrián Mills, Adam Ten, Mita Gami, Nic Fanciulli, and Butch. The programming spans across more than 15 genres, making it clear that this project relies on more than one side of the industry, granting everyone a space to dance and enjoy.

Desperados, Rowcio, and many more!

Stage design plays a central role in this year’s edition. Eight themed environments reshape the venue into parallel worlds, each with its own narrative.

La Avenida Desperados, named after the popular tequila-infused beer brand adds another layer to that journey, leaning into a street-inspired atmosphere with a more raw, club-focused energy. Here, artists like Loopita, Baum and Dhermida take over with sets that sit closer to underground sounds, offering a contrast to the larger stages. It’s a space that feels more immediate and intimate, designed for those looking to dig deeper into the lineup.

As always, the day doesn’t end at the venue. The official after party continues at the iconic FabrikMadrid, extending the experience well into the night.

For one day, Madrid shifts into something else entirely. A city inside a city, built for chaos, color, and constant movement—and designed to disappear just as quickly as it arrives. Certainly, a can’t-miss experience.
