Jerez Fusión 2026 holds its first edition from 10 to 13 September 2026 in Jerez de la Frontera. The festival starts with a clear idea: to take flamenco as its starting point and bring it into dialogue with other music, contemporary creativity, the cultural industries, and Jerez’s wine and brandy.
This will not be a festival confined to a single site. Its programme takes place across more than ten venues around the city and combines concerts, showcases, masterclasses, panel discussions, professional networking, exhibitions, cinema, theatre and gastronomy.
It is organised by the Clúster Turístico Destino Jerez, with support from Jerez City Council and the collaboration of FEDEJEREZ. The project also forms part of the cultural strategy associated with Jerez 2031 and the development of a city identity linking flamenco, culture and tourism.
The official website uses the concept Flamenco Global Experience, a description that captures the aim: to present flamenco open to encounters with jazz, blues, world music, electronic music and new approaches to production.
At a glance: Jerez Fusión 2026 takes place from 10 to 13 September at various venues in Jerez de la Frontera.

Jerez Fusión does not treat flamenco as a closed or exclusively traditional art form. Its starting point is quite the opposite: roots as a musical language capable of blending with others.
The festival aims to connect flamenco with jazz, blues, soul, hip-hop, electronic music and other contemporary sounds, keeping Jerez at its cultural heart. The city is more than a backdrop: wineries, venues, cultural spaces, streets and heritage are all part of the experience.
This urban dimension matters. Across four days there will be artistic programming, activities for the general public and meetings for artists, managers, programmers, festivals, agencies, media and music-industry professionals.
The first day opens with afternoon and evening programming across several venues.
Cuarto Creciente · 19:00–21:00
La Guarida del Ángel · 21:00–01:00
Showcases complete the afternoon programme. At Damajuana, the 17:30 slot features Naima Jazz. At El 55 there will be afternoon and late-night entertainment with Jesule de la Tomasa, his band and a DJ set.
Friday broadens the musical range and gives greater weight to the industry programme.
Cuarto Creciente · 19:00–21:00
La Guarida del Ángel · 21:00–01:00
Damajuana has announced a showcase by Johnny Ayuga at 17:30, while El 55 hosts a late-night DJ set.
Although festival activities continue on Sunday 13, Saturday brings the main musical finale to Alameda Vieja, starting at 21:00.
The first part will be a tribute to Antonio de los Ríos “El Madriles”, a composer associated with numerous artists and projects in Jerez flamenco. Those announced for the celebration include Tomasito, Curro Carrasco, Luis de Perikín and Diego Carrasco, alongside other participants.
They will be followed by one of the best-known names on the bill: Raimundo Amador with his show De Pata Negra a Raimundo, a journey through his career and the historic connection between flamenco, blues and rock that has shaped much of his work.
Sunday is the final day, with activities open to the public during the daytime.
The announced programme includes a cajón drumming gathering in Plaza del Arenal, scheduled between 12:30 and 15:00.
Festival-related exhibitions also continue, including a display dedicated to Frédéric Deval at Sherry Gallery and the exhibition Flamencos at the Centro Andaluz de Flamenco.
Sunday’s format fits the festival’s overall idea: not to limit the experience to evening concerts, but to extend it into the city’s cultural spaces and meeting places.

| Raimundo Amador | Flamenco, blues and rock | Saturday 12 |

| Trilog | Flamenco, jazz and Hindustani music | Thursday 10 |
One of Jerez Fusión’s most interesting features is its decentralised format. Venues listed in the programme include:
This model requires planning your journeys, but it also turns the festival into a way of discovering different sides of Jerez in a single day.
Jerez Fusión also aims to be a meeting point for the music industry. Professional registration is intended for artists, bands, managers, booking agencies, festivals, cultural programmers, promoters, record labels, media, institutions and audiovisual and creative professionals.
The networking and business matchmaking sessions are scheduled for:
Professional participation requires advance registration and accreditation and places are limited.
One of Jerez Fusión’s central themes is the relationship between music, wine and brandy. This is not simply about adding a drink to the concerts: the festival’s identity is built around the products and places that form part of Jerez culture.
The collaboration of FEDEJEREZ and the involvement of venues connected to the wine industry reinforce this idea. The festival also coincides with the final stretch of the Jerez Grape Harvest Festival 2026, which ends on 13 September.
That makes it easy to turn the visit into a broader weekend experience: flamenco, wineries, gastronomy, heritage and harvest celebrations running alongside the festival.
Much of the announced programme is presented as free, including Saturday’s main concert at Alameda Vieja. However, the festival combines many formats and venues, and some professional activities require advance registration or accreditation.
It therefore helps to distinguish three types of admission:
Do not assume that every event uses the same admission system. The festival’s official website is always the most reliable reference.
When travelling from outside Jerez, the best approach is to choose your must-see concerts first and build the rest of the day around them.
Thursday and Friday: concerts are mainly scheduled for the afternoon and evening, leaving the morning for the historic centre, a winery visit or the Centro Andaluz de Flamenco.
Saturday: allow plenty of time to reach Alameda Vieja. The tribute to El Madriles and Raimundo Amador’s concert make this the day most likely to draw a large audience.
Sunday: the daytime programme makes it possible to combine the festival’s finale with the last activities of the Grape Harvest Festival.

The focus on fusion makes particular sense in Jerez: this is not a city without a tradition trying to adopt a flamenco label. Jerez is one of the historic heartlands of flamenco singing, guitar, dance and compás.
That is precisely why the dialogue with contemporary sounds can be so interesting: the roots remain present and recognisable. The festival’s question is not whether Jerez has flamenco, but what it can do today with all that heritage.
For another perspective on the city’s flamenco culture, you can also read our guide to flamenco in Jerez during the Horse Fair, which explains how flamenco culture fits into other major events in Jerez.
Jerez Fusión launches with the ambition of a city-wide project. It does more than schedule concerts: it connects venues, artists, wine, the music industry, tourism and heritage.
The test for this first edition will be whether that mix works naturally and whether the event can establish itself as an annual fixture in Spain’s flamenco calendar.
For 2026, the appeal is already clear: four days to see Jerez bring its flamenco roots into conversation with new music and new audiences.
