The best festivals in Asturias in 2025

Festival (Laboratorio de Electrónica Visual) celebrates a new edition from the 1st to the 4th of May 2025 in Gijón/Xixón, turning this Asturian city once again into a place of reference to delve into the most heterodox electronic sound experimentation and the most avant-garde audiovisual, scenic and digital creation.
L.E.V. Festival (Gijón/Xixón)
There are four days of programming with an innovative proposal in different venues in the city of Gijón/Xixón, within the framework of a programme that places special emphasis on audiovisual and musical performances, accompanied by audiovisual and performative installations, as well as experiences around extended realities.
VESU, the independent music that sounds in Oviedo
VESU, Oviedo's independent music festival, will return to the capital of Asturias from 20 to 22 June 2025.
The Municipal Foundation of Culture (FMC) is organising this festival for the third consecutive year in Oviedo, which is characterised by the combination of consolidated proposals, avant-garde movements and bets on new bands that will soon become a reference in our country.

Boombastic is a newer but equally interesting and intense festival.
In this great event there is room for different types and styles of music, ranging from urban music, pop and indie, without forgetting electronic music. All of them are fundamental pillars of a festival that also has an area for daytime activities. It also has a well cared for rest area, cultural bonuses, etc.
Boombastic Festival (Llanera)
This year, on 17, 18 and 19 July, in La Morgal (Llanera), a new edition of this festival will take place, which promises innovation and surprises.
Tsunami Xixón Festival, one of the biggest rock festivals in Southern Europe

Ye-Yé Gijón, a festival to recreate the musical universe of the 60s of the 20th century
The Ye-Yé Gijón festival is held from 24 to 27 July.
A pioneer of music festivals in the city and in Asturias, it has become a classic of this cultural format, which is so successful with the public.
After more than a quarter of a century of Euroyeyé, the new Ye-Yé took over in 2020, and it turns out that the doyen of Asturian underground festivals maintains its loyalty to Gijón/Xixón, as well as its vocation to investigate and celebrate a fascinating culture and scene born of the restless spirits of the 60s of the 20th century, and the ramifications and trends that have been born and grown up to the present day.
Prestoso Fest, for fans of independent music
Independent music lovers also have their destination in Asturias.
The Prestoso Fest, an event that is gaining momentum from year to year, arrives in Asturias in the middle of August, at the height of the summer season.

This year the festival takes place on 7, 8 and 9 August.
Aquasella, pioneer of avant-garde festivals
For more than a quarter of a century,Aquasella has been generating a brand and positioning Asturias as a pioneering destination for avant-garde musical and cultural festivals.
Every year, Aquasella and its impressive programmes flood the east of Asturias with the best techno music.
With a privileged location on the banks of the river Sella, near the town of Arriondas/Les Arriondes, Aquasella is a true city of music.
This year it will be held on the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th of August.
Riverland, the best music with the river Sella as a backdrop
