Trashville

Trashville is a festival within the Azkena Rock Festival where the line between audience and stage blurs. This venue captures the raw essence of rock & roll, reminiscent of the underground dens where the genre was born. Festival-goers can immerse themselves in danceable rock, from garage and surf to rockabilly and hillbilly, with riffs played at breakneck speeds. This year's Trashville lineup features The Mummies, Les Greene, Los Sírex, The Bank Robbers, and more.

Virgen Blanca

The Azkena Rock Festival is back this year with its highly anticipated and now traditional lineup of free concerts in Plaza de la Virgen Blanca. Bringing the festival's passion for music to the heart of the city, these concerts will liven up the mornings of the festival.
