Bilbao BBK Live 2026 has brought forward an absolutely historic edition. Robbie Williams (with his Long 90’s Tour) and David Byrne headline the 20th anniversary of the festival. It will be a milestone edition, with Lily Allen performing West End Girl in its entirety, the return of IDLES with their hardcore and Alabama Shakes with their southern energy, and the electronica of Richie Hawtin, Charlotte de Witte and Interpol closing the headliner.
Kobetamendi will also vibrate with the avant-garde electronica of Richie Hawtin and Soulwax, and national references such as Dani Fernández and La M.O.D.A. In addition, the festival continues to bet strongly on the future and the rupture: from the urban phenomenon of Ralphie Choo and Bb trickz to the rave of the German horsegiirL and the local talent of Sara Zozaya, completing a diverse line up.
The lineup preview is rounded out by an extensive list of artists including Aimarz, Amore, Apparat, Belen Aguilera, Belle and Sebastian, Carpetman, Cervatana, CMAT, Depresión Sonora, Don West, Fatoumata Diawara, Folk Bitch Trio, GAR, Hoonine, Juicy BAE, Las Petunias, Marte Lasarte, Mietze Conte, Mind Enterprises, Nu Genea Live, Paris Paloma, Queralt Lahoz, Suave, Thee Sacred Souls, Tomora, Xoel López, Yerai Cortés and ZAZ.
