5th edition of the Rock Imperium Festival

From July 3rd to 5th, El Batel Park will once again become the epicenter of international rock and metal with the fifth edition of the Rock Imperium Festival. Already considered the most ambitious edition in its history, the festival boasts a top-tier lineup headlined by Iron Maiden, Sabaton, and Within Temptation, accompanied by essential names from the international scene such as Mastodon, Anthrax, Testament, Trivium, Queensrÿche, and the highly anticipated return of The Gathering.

The program is spread across three themed days: Friday will be headlined by Within Temptation, Saturday by Iron Maiden, and Sunday by Sabaton, offering a journey through styles ranging from classic heavy metal and power metal to thrash, symphonic metal, and more extreme offerings.

Beyond the music, the festival has become a major tourist attraction for Cartagena, drawing thousands of national and international fans and generating significant activity in the city's hotels, restaurants, and shops.

With a privileged setting on the Mediterranean coast, a lineup that combines legends of the genre, cult bands, and rising stars, and thousands of fans from around the world, Cartagena will once again experience three unforgettable days of music, camaraderie, and a passion for metal. Everything points to 2026 being the most attended and memorable edition in the history of the Rock Imperium Festival.
