Festival Boreal 2026 in Los Silos: World Music, Art and Rural Life

Festival Boreal returns to Los Silos in northern Tenerife in 2026. The main music days are 18 and 19 September, while the municipality hosts festival activities from 16 to 20 September under the banner of "músicas del mundo, arte y vida rural" – world music, art and rural life.

Alongside the concerts, the festival puts sustainability, universal accessibility and equality at the centre of its programme. It is reported in late August 2026 by outlets including RTVC and El Día. Those sources do not state any ticket prices.

What Festival Boreal is

Festival Boreal presents itself as a world-music festival that reaches beyond the stage to foreground sustainability and rural life. The small coastal town of Los Silos becomes a meeting point of music, art and community for a few days.

The main music days fall on 18 and 19 September 2026. Around them, the municipality runs an extended programme from 16 to 20 September that explicitly builds in values such as universal accessibility and equality.

Friday, 18 September: the line-up

According to RTVC and El Día, the opening day features BCUC as well as Hempress Sativa with Paolo Baldini Dub Files, bringing powerful South African stage energy together with Jamaican reggae and dub.

Friday is rounded out by The Neighborhood Kids, El Veneno Crew, Aïta Mon Amour, Renata Flores, Rubio, The Queen of Bass, Pleito and Proyecto Jable with Jela and Cristina Mahelo – a mix of international voices and Canarian projects.

Saturday, 19 September: the highlights

Saturday brings Daddy G of Massive Attack, the Colombian band Aterciopelados and the Algerian Tuareg group Imarhan, uniting trip-hop, Latin American rock and desert blues on a single stage.

Also announced are Throes + The Shine, Fuensanta, Josyara, Candeleros, La Terrorista del Sabor and Xerach. Here too the programme pairs international acts with artists from the Canary Islands.

Tickets and getting there

According to the announcements, there are both general passes ("abonos") and single-day passes. They are sold through the official festival website and the Tickety platform.

Prices are not stated in the available sources (RTVC, El Día). Anyone planning to attend should therefore check availability, exact conditions and cost directly on the official site. Los Silos sits in the north-west of Tenerife; it is reached most easily by car or by bus through the island's northern region.

The wider programme

Around the concerts, the festival offers a broad side programme: workshops ("talleres"), eco-markets ("ecomercados"), professional spaces and family activities. That makes Boreal engaging during the day and for a wide audience.

There is also an exhibition and residency component at the Sala de Exposiciones Pérez Enríquez, where a solo show by "Add Fuel" complements the festival's artistic side.

Practical note: Alongside the general passes, single-day passes are also available – handy if only Friday or only Saturday interests you.
The festival is explicitly family-friendly and places emphasis on universal accessibility; the workshops and eco-markets pair well with a concert visit.

A note on prices: Specific ticket prices are deliberately not given here – the available sources (RTVC, El Día) do not publish any.
Please confirm availability, conditions and cost directly on the official festival website before buying.
