The gates of Mendizabala have opened today to welcome the loyal Azkena Rock Festival community. In its twenty-third edition, the festival once again brings us the true essence of rock & roll through the many performances across its different stages. The first day has been all about reunions among old friends, hugs under the \u00c1lava sun, and the kind of sounds that remind us why this festival is an annual pilgrimage for so many.<\/p>\n

And the next edition already has a date: ARF will return to Vitoria-Gasteiz on June 18, 19 and 20, 2026. The first passes are already on sale at the festival’s Info Point, at a special price available exclusively in Mendizabala.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Legendary band Dinosaur Jr. was one of the main highlights of the day, performing their iconic 1994 album Without a Sound<\/em> in its entirety \u2014 a one-of-a-kind show in our country. They also treated the crowd to other essential classics from their repertoire, proving once again that distortion and melancholy remain a universal language.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
