Brava Madrid, a two-day pop and dance festival built around 90s and 2000s hits, returns to the Caja Mágica for its fourth edition. Sugababes headline the opening night alongside Inna and a run of Spanish pop names, while Natalie Imbruglia, Fangoria and Vengaboys close the second day inside a colourful, dress-up-encouraged show built on nostalgia and camp.
What it is
The festival spans two days across the main stage and a dedicated dance floor, Brava Inferno, which runs DJ sets in parallel with the live performances. Friday 18 September is headlined by Sugababes and Inna, with Leire Martínez, Maria Peláe, Kristina and Laura Gallego rounding out the main bill, while Sofía Cristo, Suri and Señora DJ take over Brava Inferno through the evening.
Saturday 19 September brings a second headline pairing in Natalie Imbruglia and Fangoria, supported by Vengaboys, Soraya and Mayo on the main stage and Bailamamá, Sergio Tyler and Raúl Mata on Brava Inferno. The day also includes a Bingo Party by Drag Brunch, hosted by Vania Vainilla, Krystal Forever and La Niña Delantro, one of several non-musical formats the festival has added since its first edition in 2023.
Why it's worth attending
Brava Madrid is built around a specific identity: 90s and 2000s pop and dance hits, a dress-up culture encouraged rather than optional, and a lineup that leans heavily on acts rarely booked together on the same Madrid stage, from Sugababes to Vengaboys. The festival sold out its 2025 edition with more than 50,000 attendees, and 2026 marks its return to Caja Mágica after a year at a different venue.
