Heave Festival
About Heave Heave Festival is an independent grassroot project founded between a group of friends, through a shared love for music, sound and nature. Our goal is to create an intimate gathering with likeminded people, focused on organic sounds, hypnotic rhythms and a shared connection to nature. Bringing together collectives, communities, artists, and independent projects collaboratively in a carefully curated programme. Fostering a space where underground music can be experienced in nature, away from the usual club settings. Location Heave Festival takes place near the small village of Las Inviernas, in the province of Guadalajara. The site is set within a secluded pocket of woodland beside open fields and the Río Tajuña - a quiet natural setting shaped by trees, water and open landscape. Located around 130 km from Madrid, the festival site is approximately a 90-minute drive from the city. Site coordinates: 40°50'01.36"N 2°39'05.92"W Programming Heave will unfold across two separate days, with a pause between each session to allow space for rest, reconnection and time on the land. Each day is designed as a full journey - moving from daylight into night, and carrying the dancefloor through to sunrise. Friday 25 September 18:00 - 10:00 Saturday 26 September 16:00 - 08:00 Music Direction & Collective Collaborations For Friday's programme, Heave collaborates with 008 and Trinchera.XV to curate a lineup rooted in vinyl-led house, electro and techno. The focus will be on deep, rolling selections, warm grooves and a carefully paced opening journey into the festival. For Saturday's programme, Heave works alongside Symbole Community, moving towards a more techno-focused direction and raising the energy across the second day. Expect a deeper intensity, hypnotic rhythms and a stronger late-night drive while staying connected to the overall sound and spirit of the gathering. Sound System Heave partners with Rostro Soundsystems, a DIY, custom-built sound system project based in Barcelona. Rooted in independent sound culture, Rostro brings a handcrafted approach to audio - building and operating their own system with care, precision and a deep respect for fidelity, low-end, clarity and physical sound. Camping & Accommodation Camping will be available on site and included free of charge for all attendees. Campervans are also welcome, but must be parked and used only within the designated parking area.
