This summer, El Playazo de Nerja becomes the epicenter of electronic music on the Costa del Sol.

SOUTH

Nerja

The Costa del Sol has always known how to welcome those seeking something special. This summer, Nerja adds a new chapter to that story: international club electronic music at El Playazo. Solaris Nerja 2026, Nerja's first major Mediterranean festival, brings to the province of Málaga two of the most ambitious electronic music proposals of the Andalusian summer: Space of Sound with Claptone on Sunday, June 28, and Techno Flamenco on Saturday, June 27. Two days that, within a ten-day festival, turn Nerja into a reference destination for electronic music enthusiasts across the region.

On Sunday, June 28, Solaris Nerja 2026 closes its first edition with a bet that is unprecedented on the Costa del Sol. Space of Sound brings Claptone to El Playazo in Nerja: the Austrian DJ and producer, known throughout the European club electronic circuit for his masked image and sound that ranges from deep house to high-quality dance electronics, will perform outdoors in front of the Mediterranean with a capacity and technical production on par with the major specialized festivals of the peninsula.

Claptone fills venues and festivals in Berlin, Amsterdam, Ibiza, and the main electronic circuits of Europe. His choice of El Playazo in Nerja as the stage this summer is, in itself, a statement about the potential of the Costa del Sol as a top-tier live music destination. Joining him in the lineup are Crusy, Nic Vesperi, Aafraa, and Claudia Tejeda in a day designed to close the summer — and open everything at the same time.

The night before, on Saturday, June 27, Solaris Nerja 2026 proposes another take on electronic music: Techno Flamenco, the fusion that has been proving for years that flamenco and electronic are not opposite genres but complementary. Marsal Ventura, Ian Tules, Los Prados, JBILL, Jesule Fernández, El Gato Chp, Nerea Benito, Fonso Castillo, Joel Borras, and María la Zingara make up a lineup that represents the best of a scene that has found its most fertile ground in Andalusia.

Electronics and charm. Under the sky of Nerja, at El Playazo, on a night that the following day has the best possible follow-up: Claptone closing the summer.

The electronic program of Solaris Nerja 2026 is not limited to these two days. On Monday, June 23, the Night of San Juan at El Playazo has its own electronic soundtrack with sessions by Aaron Sevilla, Claudia León, and Stella — the most magical night of the Andalusian summer, with the Mediterranean as a backdrop and tickets starting at 5€. And on Wednesday, June 18, the inaugural Open Day kicks off the festival on June 18 with Les Castizos headlining and Peppe Citarella, Manu BS, and Rafa Nandez completing an opening day that sets the tone for everything to come: diversity, energy, and the certainty that Nerja is not playing small. Also from 5€.

The Costa del Sol has a long history of musical tourism. What Solaris Nerja 2026 adds is something different: the consolidation of Nerja as a club electronic destination with its own name, halfway between Málaga and Granada, with El Playazo as a unique natural stage. For electronic music enthusiasts in the province and all of Andalusia, this festival is simply the plan of the summer.

And for those coming from outside, Solaris Nerja provides shuttle buses from Málaga and Granada for all days of the festival — one-way, return, or round-trip tickets available at solarisnerja.com, independent of the entry. Because arriving well at the best plan of the summer also matters.

Claptone on June 28. Techno Flamenco on June 27. The Night of San Juan on June 23. The Open Day on June 18. Solaris Nerja 2026 turns El Playazo into the epicenter of the Costa del Sol's electronic music this summer — and it does so with a program that makes no apologies for its ambition.
