Torremolinos Rockin Race 2027 Reveals Star Line-Up The Rockin Race Jamboree publishes its 2027 line-up: JD McPherson, La La Brooks and Kim Lenz top more than forty bands in Torremolinos from 3 to 7 February, with five-day passes at 130 euros. region: Torremolinos | category: Culture Rock and roll has a calendar in Torremolinos, and it has just been written for the next winter. The Rockin Race Jamboree, the retro music festival that has turned the town into the world capital of fifties culture every February for more than three decades, has published the line-up for its 33rd edition, which runs from Wednesday 3 to Sunday 7 February 2027. The headline names travel straight out of the American songbook. JD McPherson, the Oklahoma singer and guitarist whose records sound like a jukebox repaired by a craftsman, tops the bill, and he appears twice: once under his own name and once as a guest of The Flea Bops. Next to him stands La La Brooks, the voice of The Crystals, the group behind Da Doo Ron Ron and Then He Kissed Me, two of the songs that built the girl-group era. Kim Lenz, the Texas rockabilly singer with the effortless delivery, completes the top line. The official poster, already published on the festival website, lists more than forty bands, and since November 6 the festival's Instagram account has been introducing them one by one: The Wild Goners, The Men From Nowhere, I Jeziak and The Surfers, Cherry Casino and The Gamblers, and GOONS! among the first names off the press. The poster also promises a surprise band, fifteen DJs, pool parties, talks, a classic car show and the Tico-Tico Club, a rooftop show of tropical and exotic music. Beyond rock and roll in the strict sense, the festival is closer to a five-day theme park for the middle of the last century. Vintage dresses, pomade, chrome bumpers and dance steps that predate television mass culture take over the concert venues and the hotel pools of the town for a long weekend. Past editions have drawn more than twenty thousand fans from across Europe, filling hotels in what used to be the deadest weeks of the coast's year, which is precisely why the town hall has loved the party for so long. For 2027 the festival keeps its familiar geography. The concerts of the last editions unfolded across five spaces, with the pool and rooftop of one of the town's retro hotels as the daytime heart of the event, and the auditorium and the Fortuna theatre carrying the nights: in 2026, the daily programme started around midday at the pool and the rooftop, the concert halls opened their doors at half past seven in the evening and the music ran until four or five in the morning. The 2027 timetable has not yet been published, and with five days and several stages, the day-by-day breakdown will decide which day suits those who do not buy the full pass. On tickets, the practical news is simple. For now the only thing on sale is the five-day pass, at 130 euros with all fees included, from the shop on the official website run by the organiser, Sleazy Records, and the page already shows a quarter of the passes sold. Single-day tickets for each of the five days are listed as coming very soon, with no price yet; the organisers themselves recommend that anyone planning two days or more should take the pass. Two practical notes for newcomers. First, the festival is not confined to one venue: expect hotels, pools and theatres in the centre of Torremolinos all attached to the wristband economy, so booking accommodation within walking distance saves the evening. Second, February days on the Costa del Sol are mild but nights by the sea are cold for fifties fashion, and the veterans pack layers under the vintage jackets: the photograph looks like August, the air temperature does not. The Rockin Race Jamboree has quietly become one of the most reliable pieces of the region's winter tourism puzzle, and the 2027 line-up is the strongest argument yet that its organisers have no intention of slowing down. Torremolinos in the second week of February 2027 will sound, for five days, exactly like 1957.
