In recent years, Madrid has become the third city that hosts the largest number of mass events, and of course among them are some of the best festivals not only in Spain but also in Europe.
That is why the capital offers a variety of music, styles and experiences to enjoy according to our tastes. In this article we bring you the next festivals to be held in the city, from Boombastic to Mad Cool through the Reggaeton Beach Festival.
Since its beginning, Madrid has been the epicenter and a great engine of projection for artists from all over the world and of all possible styles.
Its historical, artistic and cosmopolitan character makes it a very interesting city for lovers of any kind of art.
Behind every corner there is a pub, a museum, a cultural center or a theater where you can be in contact with this type of activities. In addition, it has some of the most important museums in Europe and an Avenue that gathers the best theaters in the capital and is perfectly on par with Broadway, the mecca of musical theater.
With respect to music, it is undoubtedly a reference and a place full of opportunities for musicians from all over the country, many of the current referents came from its streets or came here to try their luck. It hosts many and many pubs and nightclubs as well as a large number of festivals.
As far as festivals are concerned, the capital hosts a wide range of these types of events. Since the boom and the massification of these, Madrid has become one of the 3 autonomous communities with greater reception of this type of mass events.
Specifically in the summer period a large number of varied events that provide Madrid with a very complete offer of artists to boast and that undoubtedly generates a great benefit annually.
This type of event is the ideal attraction for people from abroad and therefore a great opportunity to welcome tourists from all over the world. The offer of this 2023 is as follows:

This festival is not represented by a fixed musical style, in its poster we can appreciate from the most cutting edge of reggaeton to the most classic pop. However, the investment in luxury guests, as well as a comforting space make many people want to attend this event.
This is a new festival concept called a “boutique festival”. The low cost of admission and also the small number of attendees has led to a disproportionate success in the celebration of this.
After the celebration of its first edition, such has been its success that, in the year of its premiere, it was held in Madrid, Gijón, Costa del Sol, Alicante and the Canary Islands.
All of the above added to a very top line-up in which we could see internationally known faces such as Bizarrap, Quevedo, Duki or Maria Becerra have made this a real sensation.

Organized between the promoter Live Nation, the audiovisual and musical company Zircozine and the television company La Competencia, since its first edition, Mad Cool Festival has become one of the most important festivals in Spain being able to compete with festivals of such weight as FIB, BBK or Primavera Sound in Barcelona.
