Elrow Málaga XXL returns to be one of the big summer events for electronic music.

On August 22, 2026, elrow will land at Málaga Forum with a new edition of elrow Málaga XXL, one of its major bets for the summer in Spain. After two years without being held in the city—following its previous editions in 2022 and 2023—an internationally renowned electronic music party returns to the Costa del Sol with a production designed for open spaces, expanded capacity, and an expected attendance of more than 20,000 people. Málaga thus regains one of those dates destined to occupy a unique place within the Andalusian summer calendar.

The event is not only envisioned as a musical event but as a large-scale immersive experience where music coexists with animation, theatricality, and constant audience participation. For this edition, elrow will deploy a production specifically conceived for this type of environment, with large-scale scenery, more than a hundred performers and actors, as well as special effects, confetti, inflatables, and enhanced technical support for sound, lighting, and visuals on par with its major international productions.

In Málaga, this immersive logic will take shape through two thematic stages that will transform Málaga Forum into a venue crossed by two distinctly different atmospheres. As a major novelty of this edition, Rowsmic Carnival will occupy the main stage and articulate the center of the event with an expansive proposition, marked by color, fantasy, and a cosmic-inspired energy. The second stage, whose theme will be announced soon, will complete a production designed for the audience to move between two distinct universes within the same experience.

New Formats

According to Cruz Arnau, co-founder and Brand Steward of elrow, "Returning to Málaga with the XXL format is very important for us because the city has always responded in a very special way to our proposal. This new edition is designed to reconnect with the audience on a large scale and to continue building experiences in Spain that go beyond the musical."

The return of elrow to Málaga also reinforces the organization's commitment to continue growing in Spain with large-capacity formats, beyond its residencies and international festivals. In the peak season and in one of the most promising destinations in southern Europe, the return of elrow Málaga XXL connects local, national, and international audiences at a date designed to reposition the city on the map of major summer productions.

Tickets will be available for pre-sale starting April 22 and general sale from April 23. The line-up for the edition will be announced soon.
