The fifth edition of Rock Imperium Festival in Cartagena promises to be the biggest yet. With Iron Maiden, Sabaton, and Within Temptation leading the way, El Batel Park will once again become the epicenter of the global heavy metal scene.
The lineup is completed by essential names such as Mastodon, Anthrax, Testament, Trivium, The Gathering, Queensrÿche, H.E.A.T, and Lacuna Coil, among many others. A combination of legendary acts, highly anticipated comebacks, and new forces that make Rock Imperium an unmissable event for metal lovers in all its forms.
For three days, Cartagena will once again vibrate in a unique setting; the countdown has begun, and the history of metal will be rewritten at Rock Imperium Festival 2026.
In 2026 we will celebrate the 5th anniversary of this exciting project called Rock Imperium. Thanks to the support of the City Council of Cartagena, the Region of Murcia, Estrella de Levante, sponsors, an exceptional team, unforgettable bands, and above all, you, the audience that gives meaning to all this, we are stronger than ever!
This will be a historic year for the festival, with the most ambitious lineup to date.
