The roster of national talent at the festival is bolstered by the addition of Anari, one of the most personal voices in Basque music; Antifan, self-described hodgepodge of guitars, basses, and autotune; Baiuca, merging of Galician tradition and the most popular electronica and avant-garde trends of the moment; Cecilio G, one of the key figures of trap; Cupido, supergroup made up of Pimp Flaco and Solo Astro who made it big with the superhit “No sabes mentir”; Andalusian rock outfit Derbi Motoreta’s Burrito KachimbaLester y Eliza, young local Bilbao act mixing catchy indie-pop hooks with unexpected rhythmic shifts; Nøgen, quintet hailing from San Sebastián mixing English and Basque in their pop-folk tunes; Oso Leone, one of the key national bands of this decade; Perro, a favorite among Spanish festivalgoers; and Second, a quartet from Murcia with 9 albums under their belt who’ve made a name as one of the most cohesive indie bands around thanks to their honest pop-rock songs and solid live show.

Additionally, DJs Mr.K, Djake, and Zaza will be playing sets to keep the party going and ensure that all of Kobetamendi closes out the night dancing.
