Festival Jaleo! 2026
The Jaleo! Festival is back! After a first edition that made Santiago de Compostela vibrate, Jaleo! returns with more energy, more music, and more reasons to celebrate the arrival of spring in style.
Aiming to offer a fresh alternative beyond summer, Jaleo! transforms a spring day into a unique experience in the heart of Galicia’s capital, a city that beats to the rhythm of culture and creativity.
Last year, the lineup included big names like Viva Suecia, Zahara, Carlos Ares, Sexy Zebras, Dani Dicostas, and David Van Bylen DJ, establishing Jaleo! as a must-see event on Galicia’s cultural calendar.
This April 11th, the Multiusos Fontes do Sar will once again be the epicenter of good vibes with a new edition promising to exceed all expectations. An explosive mix of styles and sounds, featuring top national artists and emerging talents shaping the future of music today.
More than a festival, Jaleo! is a celebration of culture, community, and diversity. A chance to enjoy, share, and be carried away by the energy of an audience that lives music intensely.

The “Xenerais da Ulla” is the most outstanding feature of the Ulla region’s traditional Carnival. It has been held in the surroundings of Santiago since the first half of the 19th century: the “Xenerais” (generals) ride on horseback, dressed in colourful military garments similar to those of that time, but they also include purely carnivalesque adornments, which the horses also wear.
