Festival Río Babel 2025 | Madrid

Since its debut in 2017, Festival Río Babel has become a must-attend event in Madrid. Blending the best of Spanish and Latin music, the festival celebrates cultural richness by showcasing some of the most acclaimed and promising artists of the moment.
Río Babel Festival comes back to Madrid on 4 and 5 July 2025 at Auditorio Miguel Ríos Rivas Vaciamadrid for its eighth edition. It is a Latin American music festival multitudinous with the performance of national and international bands and artists like Kase.O, one of Spanish hip hop's greatest references, hip hop Cypress Hill, Spanish duo Estopa and British legend band Madness.

Río Babel has established itself as a cultural touchstone, bringing together major names and emerging talent with the goal of building bridges across cultures, genres, and generations — all through the universal language of music.

True to its intercultural, intergenerational and international spirit, the festival embraces innovation while staying rooted in quality and tradition. This unique mix makes Río Babel a haven for those seeking emotion, discovery and unforgettable live experiences.

But it’s more than just music. The festival also offers cultural activities, a comedy stage, and a carefully curated open-air food offering — the perfect plan for warm summer nights in Madrid.

Over the years, Río Babel has hosted big-name acts like Residente, Mon Laferte, Bomba Estéreo, Jamiroquai, Juan Luis Guerra, C. Tangana, Molotov and Bad Bunny, proving its ability to attract both global icons and cult favourites. It’s become essential for fans of Latin, roots and fusion music.

In its latest edition, Río Babel reinvents itself once again, bringing its vibrant energy to a new venue in Madrid this July — reaffirming its commitment to delivering a truly exceptional experience.

Río Babel is more than a festival — it’s a meeting place where music, culture and joy come together to create something unforgettable. A must for anyone seeking a fresh, global perspective on live music.
