As Colombia prepares to host its landmark music celebration in 2026, Festival Estéreo Picnic will return to Bogotá’s Parque Simón Bolívar for its 15th anniversary edition, scheduled for March 20 to 22.
The festival, which has grown from a modest one-day event in 2010 to one of Latin America’s most significant music gatherings, will feature an impressive lineup headlined by The Killers, Tyler, The Creator, and Sabrina Carpenter.
From humble beginnings to cultural phenomenon, Festival Estéreo Picnic now showcases global superstars alongside Latin America’s finest talents.

The underground electronic scene receives representation through artists like Mochakk and Ben Böhmer, while Brutalismus 3000 adds experimental elements to the electronic offerings.
True to its Colombian roots, the festival features substantial Latin American representation, including performances by regional stars Peso Pluma, Young Miko, Ivan Cornejo, and Aitana.
These artists, alongside local talents like Luis Alfonso and Lasso, reflect Colombia’s vibrant contemporary music landscape while providing international exposure for rising Latin American performers. The festival also showcases Timø and Guitarricadelafuente who bring authentic regional sounds to the international stage.
The festival’s commitment to nurturing new talent continues with slots for emerging artists including Katseye, Addison Rae, and Judeline, balancing the lineup between established acts and fresh voices. Artists are expected to leverage social media advertising to build anticipation and engage with fans prior to the event.
For rock and indie fans, performances by Interpol, Men I Trust, and Viagra Boys round out the genre diversity. Performing artists will have the opportunity to maximize their earnings through merchandise sales at dedicated vendor areas throughout the festival grounds.
Tickets for the event are available through Ticketmaster, with the expansive grounds of Parque Simón Bolívar accommodating multiple stages and large crowds.
As Festival Estéreo Picnic enters its fifteenth year, it remains a cornerstone of Colombia’s cultural calendar and a significant driver for tourism in Bogotá, drawing music lovers from across Latin America and beyond.
