The Neu! festival is set to celebrate its thirteenth edition with a rich programme that connects renowned artists, new voices, and various musical experiences. Running from 4 December 2026 to 23 January 2027, the festival will transform Girona and Salt into a hub for independent music and contemporary creation.
This year's edition will showcase a diverse range of performances across multiple venues in both cities, featuring a blend of established artists, emerging talents, and projects that highlight the vibrancy of the current music scene.
Iván Ferreiro will kick off the festival at La Mirona, in collaboration with Temporada Alta, with his tour 'Hoy x Ayer', celebrating thirty-five years of his career and revisiting his repertoire from his time with Los Piratas to the present day.
Other highlights include the presentation of 'Rueda Eterna', the new album by Rita Payés and Lucía Fumero, the Gran Noche del Neu! featuring Triángulo de Amor Bizarro, Jimena Amarillo, Minibús Intergaláctico, Renaldo & Clara, Xicu, and kara boi, as well as the much-anticipated concert by Yerai Cortés, who will debut his album 'POPULAR' in Girona.
Additionally, the festival will host a live broadcast of 'La Sotana', followed by a performance from Ypnosi. The programme will conclude on 23 January at the Estación Espai Jove with free entry, featuring a double bill headlined by Carme Vives and Sant Rocs. Vives will present her songs in an intimate setting, while Sant Rocs will showcase a fusion of folk, rock, and punk, characterised by roots instruments and ironic lyrics.
These details were announced by Quim Ayats, Deputy Mayor and Councillor for Culture of Girona, Quim Roca, a deputy of the Diputació de Girona, and Xebi Salvatella, the festival director. Deputy Quim Roca remarked, “Over these thirteen years, the festival has built its own space, with a programme that combines emerging talent and recognised artists, championing diversity in musical proposals and languages.” He added, “This new edition once again offers a broad and varied programme, with concerts and activities primarily taking place between Girona and Salt, turning these spaces into meeting points for music lovers and contemporary creation.”
The fifth edition of Neu! Pro will be held at the Auditorio de Girona on 22 January 2027. This event marks a significant step forward as it moves to the Auditorio, which will co-organise the day. Neu! Pro serves as a gathering for the music industry and creators, fostering connections, training, and inspiration. The new venue reflects the project's growth and opens a new chapter for this day dedicated to discussing and sharing the present and future of music.
