Jennifer Cooke Leads the International Charge at Fulanita Fest 2026

With the confirmation of Dutchwoman Jennifer Cooke, the first lady of Hexagon, the Fulanita Fest 2026 embraces a cosmopolitan dimension where the term DJ transcends its label to become an immersive experience. In Cooke, the vigor of large stadiums and a necessary political activism converge, positioning her as the global face of female empowerment, as stated in a note from the organization. On the main day, Saturday, May 30, her performance will align with the operatic pop of Violeta, the solidity and experience of Fangoria, and the overwhelming energy of Chanel.

Jennifer Cooke's presence adds a dimension to the festival that goes beyond the auditory. As the star of one of Netflix's most globally-reaching original productions, Cooke has become an icon of female empowerment and visibility. Her activism for inclusion and her participation in campaigns like RITA in Amsterdam resonate with the values of a festival that stands as a bastion of lesbian visibility in Europe.

Additionally, the so-called Fulanita Experience turns Fuengirola into a hub of coexistence. This philosophy is reflected in Bosska's work on the 'look & feel,' giving the event a recognizable visual identity. The cultural agenda includes an LBT film series, sports days featuring women's soccer, volleyball, and basketball, and the Fulanita Fest Family Space, designed for the resilience of diverse families. The musical program kicks off on Thursday, May 28, with the Andalusian Artists Showcase at the Puerto Deportivo, a free event where three finalists will compete to perform at the Madrid Pride and open the 2027 edition.

On May 29, Castillo Sohail will host the Welcome Party featuring live performances by Aiko and the Jerez-born Laura Gallego, along with sessions by Lunnas DJ, Cori Matius, Mery Martín, and Adame. The cycle will conclude on May 31 with the Closing Brunch Party. This event will feature the iconic Grand Lesbian Paella, to the rhythm of Maruja Limón, Sofía Cristo, Claudia León, and the closing acts of Bailaferias and Flashback Dls.
