Electronic music takes over the nerve center of Pamplona
This coming Monday, July 6, the heart of the Navarrese capital will beat to the rhythm of house and groove with the official inauguration of the electronic programming for the San Fermín 2026 festival. The iconic plaza de la Compañía will become the epicenter of open-air urban clubbing, consolidating itself for the ninth consecutive year as the most avant-garde and alternative space of the celebrations. In this edition, the lineup presents a carefully curated sonic selection that balances international talent with emerging figures from the local scene, demonstrating the stylistic openness that the city experiences during its days of greatest global projection.
Far from the usual commercial circuits, the Pamplona City Council's commitment to integrating club genres into the official program reflects a profound modernization of the San Fermín soundtrack. The plaza de la Compañía has managed to build loyalty among a demanding audience that seeks high-quality technical sound alternatives, far from the more conventional formats that predominate in other parts of the city.
CC:DISCO! as the undisputed headliner
The highlight of the opening evening will arrive promptly at 8:30 PM with the highly anticipated performance of the acclaimed Australian DJ and selector CC:DISCO!. Recognized worldwide for her impeccable mixing technique and her encyclopedic knowledge of dance music, the artist has positioned herself as an undisputed reference in contemporary house, disco, and boogie. Her confirmation to open the musical stages of San Fermín underscores the institutional commitment to offering programming that transcends the borders of traditional genres.
Throughout her career, the Melbourne-born artist has distilled an unmistakable energy in her sets, always prioritizing an organic connection with the dance floor. Her sessions are a display of infectious rhythms and luminous melodies that fit perfectly with the festive and daytime atmosphere that characterizes the afternoons of San Fermín.
A euphoric journey designed strictly for the dance floor, where harmonic selection and groove prevail over technical showmanship.

National and local talent: The pulse of Odd Signals and Celia Carrera
The opening day will not be limited exclusively to international presence, granting a fundamental role to national artists. At 7:00 PM, the person in charge of turning on the sound equipment will be Odd Signals, the artistic pseudonym of the Navarrese DJ and producer Ander Elustondo. His deep roots in house and his undeniable weakness for sound textures coming from the United Kingdom will mark the beginning of the event. Odd Signals, a figure enormously active in organizing events with the DLC Kultur collective and a regular collaborator of the Navarrese label Buenobueno Discos, will provide the essential local pulse to warm up the atmosphere.
Subsequently, at 10:30 PM and after the set by CC:DISCO!, the booth will pass into the hands of Celia Carrera, a DJ originally from Cantabria but based in Iruña. With an artistic identity forged in the demanding Biscayan scene, Carrera promises to close the night with an exhaustive selection that navigates without prejudice between dub, bass, techno, and trance. Her versatility and refined technique have led her to share the stage with industry titans such as Daniel Avery, Octave One, or KiNK. In addition, her recent participation in highly prestigious events such as BIME Live, Dantz Festival, and Dantz Point Ciudadela vouch for her ability to lead the most demanding closing sets.
The official times confirmed for the day of July 6 at the plaza de la Compañía are distributed as follows:
- 7:00 PM: Odd Signals (Local warm-up and UK sounds).
- 8:30 PM: CC:DISCO! (International house and disco headliner).
- 10:30 PM: Celia Carrera (Closing set of bass and techno textures).
A consolidated ecosystem for sonic diversity
The plaza de la Compañía stage has proven to be an absolute strategic success in the musical evolution of San Fermín. In 2026, the lineup not only bets on electronic dance music on its opening day, but throughout the entire festive week it will host proposals of reggae dub, jazz, and contemporary Latin rhythms, enriching the city's cultural fabric exponentially.
The inclusion of top-tier electronic profiles in a historical and festive environment of such magnitude demonstrates that clubbing and tradition can coexist brilliantly. This movement not only diversifies Pamplona's offering, but also places the San Fermín festival on the radar of club music purists, offering an immersive experience where sonic avant-garde claims its deserved space on the street.
