Once again, Mar de Jávea is committed to a carefully crafted balance between big names in Spanish pop and indie, new voices with their own identity and international acts, creating a coherent musical narrative that engages with the surroundings, the time of year and the type of audience that defines the festival. In the words of José Luis Iravedra, CEO of Disparate Entertainment, the festival’s promoter, it is “a format designed to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, in a safe and accessible setting, with a clearly intergenerational and inclusive focus for families, where live music becomes the meeting point for different generations”. Undoubtedly, an open and carefully curated experience that invites people to share culture and leisure in a comfortable, positive atmosphere, connected to the Mediterranean identity of Jávea.

The event not only boosts the Costa Blanca’s cultural calendar but also revitalises key sectors such as hospitality, retail and tourism.
