Overview
- Festival de les Arts will take place at the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias on Friday and Saturday, 5–6 June 2026, after organisers confirmed the event will remain at its original site.
- Organisers set gates to open at 16:00, stagger stage starts through the evening, and scheduled main-stage headliners Siloé and Two Door Cinema Club to perform between 23:40 and 01:00 each night.
- Promoters announced a package of technical measures including new sound distribution, acoustic barriers, double shielding on the main stage, reoriented stages, real-time sound monitoring, and limiters set at 85 dB daytime and 80 dB nighttime.
- Valencia municipal technicians warned that reliable control requires limiters to act across the entire sound chain and that audience noise must be treated as a sound source, arguing the planned 85/80 dBA caps are unusually low for events of this type.
- The issue follows a late-March court ruling that ordered the city to compensate residents for past noise and spurred at least one festival to relocate, raising commercial uncertainty for ticket sales and the regional live-music sector.
