The Spanish festival is due to host its 20th anniversary edition at Kobetamendi in Bilbao between July 9-11 this year.
At the end of 2025, organisers confirmed the first names, with Lily Allen, Robbie Williams, David Byrne, IDLES, Interpol, CMAT and many more being confirmed on the bill.
Then, earlier this month, more new names were added to the list, including Dance icon Harris and recent NME Cover stars and former NME 100 alumni Westside Cowboy.
Now, another batch of artists has been confirmed for the event, and FKA Twigs is among those at the top of the bill for 2026.
It comes following the singer releasing ‘EUSEXUA’ last year, which was given a glowing five-star review by NME, while the song ‘Room Of Fools’ landed at Number 25 on our 50 best songs of 2025 list. Since then, the artist has also shared the follow-up album ‘EUSEXUA Afterglow’, which earned four stars.
Joining Twigs as a newly-announced artist on the Bilbao BBK Live line-up are 2manyDJs, Erol Alkan going B2B with Optimo (Espacio), DJ Koze, Paula Tape and Nicolas Lutz.
Performing on the more tranquil Lasai stage will be Suze Ijó, James Massiah, Livwutang, Meritxell de Soto, Elena Barker, Genosidra, Somadamantina (live) and Torus.
