Join the 14th edition at Jardines de Viveros on May 22 and 23 in Valencia and experience a cohesive, talent-filled festival
Deleste was born with the idea of creating a festival in Valencia with a clear focus on enjoying the musical experience: a single stage and a schedule with no overlaps, allowing you to fully enjoy every performance. Deleste Festival is one of those gems that has earned the respect and unconditional love of its attendees for many reasons: its strategic location in the beautiful city of Valencia, the charming Jardines de Viveros where the concerts take place, the wide range of parallel cultural activities in other iconic venues, its commitment to a single stage, and above all, a carefully curated lineup where musical quality is the unquestionable leitmotif.
For this 14th edition, Deleste takes a step further in its commitment to electronic music—an intentional move that stays true to its values—featuring artists who avoid conformity, commercial sounds, and fast-consumption trends. This doesn’t mean abandoning other sounds or rhythms; rather, it embraces diverse proposals that follow different paths while maintaining the same philosophy of quality.
FRIDAY, MAY 22
The first day will be defined by electronic music. Headlining the night are Norwegian duo Röyksopp, who will deliver a DJ set designed for the dancefloor, where their universe—blending synth-pop, house, and cinematic dreamscapes—will find fertile ground. Röyksopp, formed in 1998, have become one of Europe’s most solid electronic references thanks to their experimentation across genres and their musical duality—sometimes melancholic, sometimes uplifting; sometimes dark, sometimes humorous; today epic, tomorrow naive—reflecting their personalities.
Alongside them, the always hypnotic live performance of Apparat, one of the most influential and respected artists in contemporary electronic music. Born in Germany and based in Berlin, his career has evolved from early minimalist rhythms into a sonic universe that blends electronic, ambient, and experimental elements with a deeply emotional approach. His music is characterized by a cinematic sensitivity that has made him a reference point both within and beyond the electronic scene.
Friday’s electronic offering is completed by a set from the ever-reliable Mateo Cabero, an artist who turns underground exploration into an art form and has shared the booth with iconic DJs such as Tiga, Edu Imbernon, Los Suruba, Daniel Kyo, DJ Amable, AFFKT, Cycle, and DJ Soak. We also can’t forget Miss_Tra, a key figure in the Valencian techno scene, known for her powerful groove and forward-thinking approach. For those seeking a break from purely electronic sounds, there will also be the energy of Canadian band Holy Fuck and the distinctive personality of Billy Nomates.
SATURDAY, MAY 23
Saturday is presented as a celebration of legacy and attitude. A unique opportunity to dive into a band that is living history in electronic music: Primal Scream. And for those who think this band had no impact on the electronic scene, they likely haven’t listened to their album Screamadelica (1991) or explored the industrial and experimental sound of XTRMNTR (2000).
They will share the spotlight with the electronic sophistication of Kerala Dust, the stage magnetism of Anna Calvi, the powerful anthems of The Molotovs, and the intensity of Los Invaders.
In the DJ booth, Toxicosmos—aka Juan Carlos Mataix—will deliver his signature indie-pop and rock sessions designed for carefree dancing. Also performing is ME DJ, capable of turning every set into a cosmic journey full of pulse and emotion.
CONCLUSION
With this structure, Deleste offers two complementary experiences and the chance to choose how to live the festival: one day more focused on electronic exploration and another with a stronger guitar-driven and emotional edge. Two ways of understanding the same idea: giving spring in Valencia its own unique soundtrack once again.
