Mallorca is not just synonymous with beaches, coves, and good weather. It’s also synonymous with rhythm, lights, crowds vibrating in unison, and world-class artists. One thing that has gained strength in recent years is the island’s music scene. And 2025 promises to be its best year. Here’s a complete guide to the festivals in Mallorca 2025, with dates, locations, artists, and most importantly, how to enjoy the experience stress-free, thanks to car rental from the airport.
Why Mallorca is the most powerful festival destination in the Mediterranean
Air connections with all of Europe, good hotel infrastructure, well-prepared venues, and a postcard-perfect setting. Add to that an emerging local scene, a commitment to cultural tourism, and the arrival of big international names. Mallorca has everything to become one of the major musical epicenters in the Mediterranean.
And the best part is that festivals are not just concentrated in Palma. There are events scattered throughout the island: on beaches, farms, inland villages, and unique natural spaces.

Mallorca Live Festival 2025: dates, lineup, and how to get there
It’s the big event of the year. It brings together dozens of artists for three days of madness in Calvià. The best part is that the venue is spacious, well set up, with rest areas, food offerings, extra activities, and good security.
How to get there?
Here’s my experience: renting a car at the airport was the masterstroke. I did it with Autos Mallorca. No franchise, no card holds, and unlimited mileage. Less than five minutes after picking up my luggage, I was on my way.
Unlike many attendees who rely on shuttle buses, I arrived directly, parked with no problems (thanks to arriving early), and at the end, I didn’t have to wait an hour to return. Total freedom.
Alternative and Local Festivals You Must Experience
Not everything is about big festivals. If you want a more local experience, there are also cultural events that are worth their weight in gold:
- Sant Sebastià Fest (January): Music all over Palma, free.
- Sant Joan in Ciutadella and Sant Llorenç in Artà (June): Popular festivals with concerts.
- Festival Mallorca Roots: Ethnic music and social awareness.
- Nit de l’Art (September): Art and music in the street, great vibe.
Getting Around Mallorca’s Festivals: Rent a Car, the Key
Many of the festivals are not located in areas well-served by public transport, especially those that end late at night. That’s where having your own car makes all the difference.
Thanks to Autos Mallorca , I could move freely around the island. I drove from Palma to Calvià, from Deià to Manacor. Without worrying about schedules or logistics. I even picked up some friends who arrived later at the airport and took them directly to the festival.
The whole process was easy: I did online check-in, was picked up at parking G (less than 5 minutes of waiting), got the car, and enjoyed. Even when I returned it, they allowed me a slight delay with no problem.
Tips for Fully Enjoying the Mallorcan Festivals
Here are a few tips I learned from experience:
- Book your tickets in advance: Many events sell out quickly.
- Rent a car from the airport: best price and maximum flexibility.
- Wear light and comfortable clothes: The heat can be strong in June and July.
- Download the festival apps: Maps, schedules, real-time changes.
- Don’t just focus on the big ones: The smaller local events can surprise you.
Festivals on the Beach, in the Mountains, and in Villages: Total Variety
Mallorca has an advantage that few islands offer: a variety of settings.
- On the coast: Concerts on the sand with the sea in the background.
- In inland villages: Full squares, fireworks, local culture.
- In historic theaters: For more sophisticated festivals.
- In natural spaces: Like Deià or inland farms, hosting boutique events.
And with a car, all of them are within reach. In fact, one of the most fun days of my trip was when, after a daytime festival in Manacor, we drove to an intimate concert in the port of Sóller. Impossible without a car.
Where to Buy Tickets and How to Organize Your Festival Route
You can buy tickets on:
- Official websites of each festival (recommended).
- Entradas.com and other verified platforms.
- Physical points of sale (in Palma, there are authorized kiosks).
To organize yourself well:
- Create a map with the festivals that interest you.
- Group them by dates and zones.
- Look for accommodation nearby or centrally located with easy access by car.
- Rent your vehicle from day one to avoid surprises.
Explore Mallorca by Car to Go from Festival to Festival
And the best part: no deposits, no stress, with personalized attention and a new car.
Mallorca in 2025 is not just a natural paradise, it’s an epicenter of live music, culture, and events you can’t miss. And if you really want to enjoy it with total freedom, rent a car, plan your route, and set out to discover the most epic festivals of the year.
You choose: wait for a shuttle or get there at your own pace, with your friends, your trunk full of energy, and the night ahead?
I’ve already made my choice. Mallorca is best enjoyed… windows down and volume up.
