The Municipal Auditorium of the Real de Cortijo de Torres will host eight nights of free concerts from August 15 to 22, featuring Diana Navarro, David DeMaría, Nancys Rubias, Zenet and Paloma San Basilio as headliners.

The Málaga Fair 2026 already has its soundtrack. The Municipal Auditorium, located in the Real de Cortijo de Torres, will once again be one of the epicentres of the main week with a free programme starting on Saturday, August 15 and running until Saturday, August 22, offering eight nights of live music for all audiences.

The organisation maintains the formula that has worked so well in previous editions: each day will begin at 21:30 hours with the traditional Showcase of Malagueño and Flamenco Dances, and from 22:00 hours the Grand Gala will commence, combining local talent with nationally renowned artists.

Debut Nights and Great Voices

The opening of the line-up will be led by the Malagueña Diana Navarro, who will perform on Saturday, August 15 after Encarni Navarro's performance at the Grand Gala. This event is expected to be one of the most emotional moments of the programme, with the local artist as the main attraction.

On Sunday 16, it will be the turn of singer-songwriter David DeMaría, who will share the stage with Ana Romma. On Monday 17, the day will be dedicated to traditions with the Election of the Queen and Mister of the Fair, an event organised by the Malagueña Federation of Peñas that will take place on Avenida de las Malagueñas, next to the entrance of the venue, featuring performances by Hermanos Ortigosa and Patricia Gavilán.

Party and Emotion at the Real

On Tuesday 18, the most festive note will arrive with the performance of Nancys Rubias, accompanied by Hoffman, in a night designed for the younger audience. On Wednesday 19, jazz and singer-songwriter music will take over with Zenet, who will be preceded by Tonia Rodríguez at the Grand Gala.

The programme will culminate on Saturday, August 22 with a concert by Paloma San Basilio, one of the most iconic voices in Spanish music, who will provide the grand finale to the concerts on the main stage of the Real.

The cycle at the Municipal Auditorium is part of a broader offer that during the Fair will include flamenco performances, verdiales, children's shows, equestrian activities, and concerts at various venues across the city, in addition to entertainment in the Historic Centre. All concerts at the Auditorium are free of charge, solidifying this space as one of the major attractions of the main week for both locals and visitors to the capital.

With this proposal, the Málaga City Council aims to ensure a varied and accessible cultural offer, where local talent coexists with established names from the national scene. The complete programme for the Municipal Auditorium can be consulted on the official Málaga Fair website, where details of schedules and artists are already available.
