Maspalomas Gets Ready for a Huge Tardeo a lo Bestia with Music and a Water Party

August in the Canary Islands calls for plans that mix music, open air and a good dose of water to beat the heat. That is exactly what the Tardeo a lo Bestia promises on Friday, 14 August 2026, at Campo 1 Maspalomas, also known as the Campo de fútbol David García. The venue, part of the Ciudad Deportiva Maspalomas, has been made available by the Ayuntamiento de San Bartolomé de Tirajana and will be transformed into a large open-air stage for an afternoon that stretches well into the night.

The concept is simple and irresistible: a summer tardeo with live music, DJ sets, a speaker to keep the energy high and a big water party to cool down. Add food trucks, drinks, surprises and gifts, and you have a plan that appeals to both locals and tourists looking for a different kind of summer evening in the south of Gran Canaria. The event is part of the Maspalomas Vive Fest – Summer Edition 2026 programme, which also includes the Bresh party on 15 August and the Socarrat Fest on 16 August, all at the same venue.

What to expect from the Tardeo a lo Bestia

The organisers describe the Tardeo a lo Bestia as an experience to “enjoy like never before” and “the best summer of your life”. The promotional material talks about music, sun and a tardeo atmosphere that invites you to dance and have fun with friends. The summer 2026 edition is specifically branded as a water party edition, so you can expect a refreshing twist that sets it apart from other music events on the island.

Based on the information published by Mastaquilla and the Maspalomas Vive Fest communication, the event includes live concerts, a guest DJ, animation throughout the afternoon and a speaker who will keep the crowd engaged. The water party element is central to this edition, creating a very summery and playful vibe. While a previous edition of the event mentioned foam and water, the confirmed information for August 2026 only explicitly refers to a water party, so the presence of foam is not guaranteed this time. Food trucks and drink stalls will be available inside the venue, so you can spend the whole afternoon and evening without leaving the party.

The line-up: who is playing on 14 August

The exact line-up for the Tardeo a lo Bestia on 14 August 2026 is still partially under confirmation, and the information available from different sources shows some inconsistencies. What we can say with certainty is that Paco Guedes is confirmed as an artist for this event, as his name appears in all the relevant listings published by Mastaquilla.

One of the event pages on Mastaquilla for the Tardeo a lo Bestia summer edition at Campo 1 Maspalomas announces Armonía Show, Nueva Línea, Paco Guedes, a guest DJ, a speaker and more artists “to be confirmed”. Another page on the same platform, for a water party edition also at Campo 1 Maspalomas, lists Aseres, Paco Guedes, Kilian Viera, Yet Garbey, Alberto Deniz and Savia Nueva. These two event pages are very similar in concept, venue and atmosphere, but they differ in the date and the list of artists. The press notes and tourist agendas that link the Tardeo a lo Bestia to the Maspalomas Vive Fest programme point to the event being part of the same block of summer parties at Campo 1.

Because of this crossed and partially inconsistent information, the rest of the names — Armonía Show, Nueva Línea, Aseres, Kilian Viera, Yet Garbey, Alberto Deniz and Savia Nueva — are associated with the Tardeo a lo Bestia at Campo 1 Maspalomas in August, but there is no single source that certifies the definitive line-up for 14 August 2026. The exact composition of the bill should therefore be considered pending official confirmation. It is a good idea to check the official channels closer to the date to see the final line-up.

Tickets, prices and what is included

Tickets for the Tardeo a lo Bestia are sold online through Mastaquilla and other channels. The event offers a single General admission zone, with staggered price tiers that increase as each batch sells out. According to the Mastaquilla event page for August 2026, the General Early Bird tickets at 10 euros plus booking fees are already sold out. The next tiers, General T1, were priced between 12 and 15 euros plus fees, and some of these batches are also sold out or close to selling out. Subsequent price rises go up to around 18 euros plus booking fees.

Each ticket includes one beer or one soft drink, one reusable cup and one access to the Sunday Fest linked to the same programme. External portals such as El Corte Inglés confirm the existence of the event and list prices starting from around 17 to 18 euros, but they do not add new details about access conditions. It is worth buying your ticket early to secure a better price, as the tiers sell out quickly.

Access rules and age restrictions

The Tardeo a lo Bestia is an event for all ages, but there are specific rules for minors. According to the regulations published on the Mastaquilla event page, minors under 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult who supervises them at all times and must present a signed authorisation from their legal guardian. Minors aged 16 and 17 can enter with a signed authorisation from their legal guardian. Re-entry is not permitted once you leave the venue, and original identity documents are required — photocopies or documents shown on a screen are not accepted.

These requirements are published on the event page for the Tardeo a lo Bestia in August 2026, but the organisation could adjust the conditions, so it is advisable to review them when purchasing your ticket. The event is designed to be enjoyed by a young and adult audience that loves tardeo, live music and DJs in a summer setting, but it is also open to accompanied teenagers and mixed groups of friends and families looking for a late-afternoon and evening plan with music and water.
