There are only 24 hours left until the big day of the 2026 San Isidro Festival, and tonight’s free concerts on the lawn of San Isidro Park are the perfect prelude, featuring three musical acts that will fill the Main Stage with music from 8:30 p.m. until well past midnight.
The afternoon will kick off with the Madrid rock band Vicente Calderón (8:30 p.m.), with their lyrics brimming with sarcasm and social criticism. Rubén Pozo will take the stage next, accompanied by Los Chicos de la Curva (10:00 p.m.), performing live songs from his latest album, 50town, while also playing classics from his career such as “Madrid,” “La chica de la curva,” and “Margot.”
To top it all off, Fernanda Arrau DJ Set will close out the night (11:59 PM), featuring 80s synths, house, techno, and Latin beats.
