Reggaeton Beach Festival, one of Europe’s largest urban music festivals, has cancelled all of its 2026 events, including its Mallorca date, leaving its future in doubt.
Every date cancelled
The cancellation affects all the stops planned for this summer: Tenerife, Barcelona, Alicante, Santander, Mallorca, Madrid and Nigrán. The announcement came just weeks before the first event, due to take place in Barcelona on 27 and 28 June.
The reason
In a statement, the organisers said that, after reviewing the situation of the management company, its new administration had confirmed the existence of economic, financial and operational circumstances that seriously affected the viability of the project. In other words, the company could not guarantee it could stage a tour of this scale.
Artists and fans
The Barcelona event, planned as its eighth edition there, was due to feature artists including Anuel AA and Ñengo Flow, and many other reggaeton and urban music acts had been booked for the tour. Ticket sales had already been suspended.
Refunds
The festival said it would explain the refund process shortly. Ticket holders should watch for emails from their ticket provider and check the official website. Those who paid by card may also be able to ask their bank for a chargeback if refunds are not forthcoming.
A festival in trouble
Reggaeton Beach Festival grew over eight years from a beach party into a touring event drawing tens of thousands of people to each date. In February 2026, it announced new partners, including the Dubai-based investor Cerruti Capital 1881, Vanquish Sports & Media and G13 Group, as part of plans for international expansion. Those plans have now collided with financial reality.
The festival sector
The cancellation reflects pressures across the festival industry, where rising artist fees, production and insurance costs and fierce competition have pushed several events into difficulty. For Mallorca, it means one less major event in an already crowded summer music calendar.
Whether the festival returns in 2027 remains uncertain.
