The Elche City Council has presented the second edition of the Oasis Elche Music Fest, scheduled for Friday, October 9th, and Saturday, October 10th, at the parking lot of the Miguel Hernández University (UMH). The festival, established last year for the Jubilee Year, thus solidifies its commitment to becoming a musical benchmark in the Valencian Community and on the national scene.
This year's lineup is headlined by groups such as Viva Suecia and Lori Meyers, and includes a total of 17 confirmed artists. Among them are Miss Caffeina, La La Love You, Niña Polaca, Ojete Calor, ELYELLA, Malmö 040, El Diablo de Shangai, Hoonine, Mujeres, Niños Bravos, Nuestra Señora, Teo Lucadamo, and TGYSOA, blending major national pop-rock acts with emerging independent and urban scene proposals.
The venue will feature two stages, a food truck zone, and a rest area. Additionally, a new initiative, Ciudad Oasis, is introduced: a free cultural program running parallel to the festival in various city locations during the days leading up to the event, offering music and activities for all audiences.
Mayor Pablo Ruz highlighted the festival's intention to stay and its goal of becoming a major musical reference. Meanwhile, the Councilor for Culture and Tourism, Irene Ruíz, thanked the UMH for their collaboration and emphasized how such events position Elche as a cultural hub and help des-seasonalize tourism.
The first edition of the festival concluded with a success of 12,000 attendees, 60% of whom came from outside Elche, achieving 99% hotel occupancy and an economic impact exceeding 8.5 million euros. The second edition aims to maintain these figures and solidify the city's status as a musical benchmark.
Tickets will be available for purchase starting at 5:00 PM at [www.oasiselchemusicfest.es/abonos/](http://www.oasiselchemusicfest.es/abonos/). The day-by-day lineup will be revealed in the coming weeks.
