The promoter Beat Live has announced an international lineup for Marbella Arena featuring Kaiser Chiefs, Faithless, Craig David, UB40 and Two Door Cinema Club, among others. The concerts will take place between June and July 2026.

The Marbella Arena, the iconic venue located in the former bullring of Puerto Banús, is preparing to host some of the most prominent names in international music this summer. The promoter Beat Live has confirmed a lineup that kicks off on 20 June and runs until 17 July 2026, with artists such as Kaiser Chiefs, Faithless, Craig David and UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, among others.

Kaiser Chiefs to open the lineup on 20 June

The British band Kaiser Chiefs, formed in Leeds, will be the ones to inaugurate the series on Saturday 20 June. The group, which established itself as a reference in indie rock in the 2000s, will perform hits like "Ruby" and "I Predict a Riot". With three BRIT Awards to their name, including Best British Group and Best British Live Act, they promise a high-energy night for attendees.

For the residents of Marbella and the Costa del Sol, this concert represents a unique opportunity to enjoy a world-class band without the need to travel to major cities. Tickets are already available through the official channels of Beat Live.

Faithless, Craig David and Two Door Cinema Club: a July of electronic and pop

On 27 June, it will be the turn of Craig David Presents TS5, a format that combines live performance and DJ set, featuring hits from the British artist and dancefloor-oriented mash-ups. On 9 July, Faithless, one of the most influential groups in electronic music, known for the anthem "Insomnia", will take the stage. The following day, on 10 July, Two Door Cinema Club will arrive, celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of their album "Tourist History", a record that marked a generation.

Electronic music will again take centre stage on 11 July with Dutch DJ Chris Stussy, founder of Up The Stuss. On 16 July, UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, one of the most recognized names in British reggae, will return to Marbella Arena, having previously performed at the venue in 2022. The lineup will conclude on 17 July with British artist Josh Baker, representing the new generation of electronic music.

For the local audience, this musical offering reinforces Marbella's position as a top concert destination, with an intimate capacity that allows for a close experience with the artists. The Marbella Arena, with its unique location in Puerto Banús, thus becomes a hub of tourist and cultural attraction during the summer.

A summer with international flavour and a commitment to live music

The programming by Beat Live at Marbella Arena not only attracts tourists but also provides residents of the Costa del Sol with a quality leisure alternative without leaving the province. Compared to previous editions, this year features a more varied lineup, combining indie, electronic and reggae, reflecting the diverse tastes of today's audience.

Tickets for each concert can be purchased individually, and it is recommended to buy them in advance due to the limited capacity of the venue. Doors typically open at 20:00, with concerts starting at 21:00. For more information, interested parties can check the official Beat Live website or the social media of Marbella Arena.
