El Castillo de las Guardas and La Roda de Andalucía will host the North-South Music Festival 2026 in May. The festival is organized by the Castillo de las Guardas Town Hall, La Roda de Andalucía Town Council, and the Seville Provincial Council.

The Seville Provincial Council, through its Department of Culture and Citizenship, has announced the details of the North-South Rock Festival, which will take place over two days in May in the towns of El Castillo de las Guardas and La Roda de Andalucía.

The event will be held at two different venues to facilitate access to cultural programming in various parts of the province, with the collaboration of the respective town councils.

The dates and locations are as follows:
