Hibernation Festival Returns March 20-22, Eyes Record Attendance Ahead of 10th Year

The Hibernation festival returns from 20 to 22 March, entering a consolidation phase ahead of its tenth anniversary after nearly a decade in operation.

Organisers expect to exceed last year's attendance figures with a lineup featuring 54 DJs, including 17 from Andorra. Richy Vuelcom, the festival's promotion director, described the 2026 edition as a "turning point" in its evolution, aiming for a significant step forward while preserving its core "immersive, festive and inclusive" identity.

This year's programme emphasises stronger artistic and scenographic elements to deepen the bond between music, venue and audience, moving beyond a purely musical format. The approach reflects efforts to appeal to a broadening public without sacrificing the event's intimate feel from earlier years.

Vuelcom highlighted the substantial local representation as a "solid and consistent commitment" to emerging Andorran talent. The bill mixes established international acts such as Massano, Novah and I Hate Models with underground newcomers, including the world premiere of Space 92 b2b Andres Campo.

Ticket sales have already surpassed 4,500, building on an average of 12,000 attendees over the past three years—around 6,000 per night—with steady, sustainable growth. Officials anticipate topping previous records, particularly for combined entry and forfait packages, boosted by a strong winter season and recent snowfalls that have heightened the event's draw.
