After the storm comes the calm, and with the concerts of Lava Live Fest finished, in its extended and ambitious second edition, it's time to take stock for satisfaction and future improvement.
Because there will be a future, without a doubt, confirms the CEO of the TSC group, promoter of the festival of festivals in Lanzarote, Eduardo Ferrer: "We cannot deny that we are very happy with the result of Lava Live 2025, the excellent response from the public, the economic impact, and the peaceful and incident-free course of the four days of concerts. So, there will be Lava Live Fest next year: we have already started working." According to him, the dates of the second weekend of June and the last of July 2026 will be repeated.
In light of the initial assessments, the attendance of 34,000 people at the Agramar venue in Arrecife and all the employment and activity developed around this musical offering would have generated an economic return of around 17 million euros for Lanzarote.
For its part, the production company responsible for the organization, Preventos Media, has highlighted the success of the free tickets for people over 65, which sold out in all sessions, and the possibility of access for minors under 18 with family permission and adult accompaniment. Ferrer believes that intergenerational attendance promotes a healthy and balanced environment.
The thousands of people who gathered at the Puerto Naos facility, specially equipped for the festival, experienced the magnitude of an event like those that until now were only held in the capital islands of the province or in cities on the peninsula.
Enthusiasm wins over heat
The only drawback may have been the heat of the first hours, which, however, did not defeat the general enthusiasm for listening, without leaving the island, to some of the great bands on the national and international scene. Nor did the excellent public response to the lineup of both weekends, with Residente, Maná, Steve Aoki, and Estopa as headliners, generate collapses in access, which was closed to traffic, enabled in several entrances, and managed in an agile and efficient manner.
Neither the Violet Point nor the Orange Point registered incidents or more visits than those that were merely informative, which highlights the importance of these services as a formula for awareness and sensitization on equality. Several sensory vests were requested by people with hearing disabilities, and the PMR platform was used.
In addition, the organization has valued the civic-mindedness of the attendees, the cleanliness of the venue at the end of the sessions, and the good response in relation to the glasses, as many people returned them and others kept them for next year.
Another aspect that has been strictly taken care of and that will be re-edited for 2026 is the punctual closing before midnight, in order to ensure the rest of the people residing in the area.
