DalecandELA Fest 4: music, solidarity and hope at Getxo

By LoffMusic Editorial Staff – August 2025

From September 18 to 21, the Old Port of Getxo (Bizkaia) will once again become a stage where music meets solidarity. The fourth edition of DalecandELA Fest is coming, a free event that brings together some of the most powerful artists of the current scene with a clear objective: to give visibility to ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), raise funds for research and accompany those who suffer from it.

This year, the festival presents its most ambitious lineup to date, combining big names with emerging bets. Iván Ferreiro, León Benavente, Coti, Los Zigarros, Carlos Ares, Susan Santos and Gari lead a program that will also feature fresh proposals such as Santi Guzmán, Swingtronics, Los Toldos, Hornies, Moses & The Tablets and the energetic The Rock&Kids Band.

A festival that transcends music

The DalecandELA Fest is much more than a series of concerts: it is a meeting point for the community. For four days, Getxo will be filled with artistic, sporting, children’s and gastronomic activities, generating a festive atmosphere that combines awareness, culture and entertainment.

Admission is free, but the organization encourages all attendees to donate to ALS research and support for patients and their families.

“Our goal is to make the disease visible, raise funds and, above all, celebrate life with optimism, joy and spirit of overcoming”, explain from DalecandELA, the association that since 2019 has been promoting this solidarity project.

The artists who will provide the soundtrack

The lineup for this fourth edition brings together the best of national music, with a mix of styles ranging from alternative rock to folk-pop, soul, blues and indie sounds. Among the confirmed artists, the following stand out:

Iván Ferreiro

Leon Benavente

Coti

Los Zigarros

Carlos Ares

Susan Santos

Gari

Santi Guzman

Swingtronics

Los Toldos

Hornies

Moses & The Tablets

The Rock&Kids Band

Each performance will have a special character: it is not only music, but a collective cry for research, empathy and the right to live with dignity.

DalecandELA: much more than a festival

The DalecandELA Association was born in 2019 with a double objective: to give visibility to ALS and improve the quality of life of patients. Since then, they have promoted artistic projects, sports challenges, motivational talks, solidarity trips and even a soundtrack recorded by Getxo musicians for charity.

The DalecandELA Fest is their flagship event and, in just four editions, has established itself as one of the most important solidarity festivals in the Basque Country. In this new event, they hope to exceed the attendance figures of previous years and continue adding support for their cause.
