About the 2026 artists
Raphael
Raphael is one of Spain’s most famous and influential singers of all time. Known for his powerful voice and dramatic performance style, he has been a major figure in Spanish-language music for more than six decades. With over 70 million record sales under his belt, his most popular hits include Yo Soy Aquel, Mi Gran Noche, Escándalo, Digan lo que Digan and Qué Sabe Nadie. Born in Linares, Jaén, in 1943, Raphel grew up in Madrid, after his family moved to the capital when he was only a few months old. He rose to fame in the early 1960s after winning the Benidorm Song Festival, although his popularity grew internationally when he represented Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1966 and 1967.
His many achievements include receiving an extremely rare Uranium Disc in 1980 from Hispavox and SGAE for reaching over 50 million record sales. Sometimes called El Divo de Linares, the legendary singer was diagnosed with primary brain lymphoma in late 2024, which forced him to pause his career. Despite this, he returned to the stage in 2025, showing remarkable resilience by continuing to perform and record.
Elvis Crespo
Named after the King of rock and roll, Elvis Crespo is an American merengue singer who found fame in the 1990s with the Puerto Rican band Grupo Mania.

His debut album, which went platinum in the Venezuelan and Central American markets and gold in Chile, was mainly influenced by merengue, a music and dance style which has become popular throughout Latin America and among Latin communities in the USA.
Deep Purple
Deep Purple, one of the most important bands in rock history, is returning to Spain in 2026 with four concerts as part of their Mad in Europe Tour.

Famed for rock anthems like Smoke on the Water, Black Night and Child in Time, the group has undergone several line-up changes over the years.
Deep Purple has stayed true to its musical roots, creating a distinctive sound that defines the band today, which is demonstrated on their 2024 album, =1. Original members Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Ian Paice continue with renewed vitality, pushing the boundaries of hard rock to audiences around the globe, proving that Deep Purple are very much here to stay.
