Event Venues Ondas Festival in Bogotá: Six nights to listen to the city with your heart
For two weekends in February, Bogotá will host the Ondas Festival, a unique musical experience in Colombia that transforms Simón Bolívar Park into an open-air theater, where proximity, time, and good music take center stage.
As the day begins to fade and the golden light slides across the eastern hills, Bogotá enters that magical moment where everything seems to suspend for just a few seconds. The cars continue their course, conversations intertwine, and the city beats with its own rhythm. But this February, there will be a place where that daily noise fades into the background to make room for something different. From February 13th to 21st, 2026, Simón Bolívar Metropolitan Park will become the home of Ondas Festival: an invitation to listen, feel, and experience music in a whole new way.
What is Ondas Festival?
Ondas is not a typical festival, nor the kind of experience that forces you to run from stage to stage. It is Colombia’s first cycle-based festival: a concept that slows down time and prioritizes connection. Here, music isn’t consumed at high speed; it’s savored. Each night has its own pulse and atmosphere, featuring one or two artists per evening across six days, so that every performance is complete, carefully curated, and deeply intimate.
More than a traditional stage, Ondas has been designed as an open-air theater. An intimate space where no one will be more than 50 meters from their favorite artist, and where only 3,000 people per night will share the same experience. It is a low-impact festival, created for those who seek quality over quantity: a few souls gathered under the same sky, singing in unison, while many others watch with FOMO from home.
The Artists Setting the Beat
The Ondas lineup has been carefully curated to resonate with different emotions and musical styles. On February 13, the power and legacy of Ivy Queen, alongside the irreverence of Villano Antillano, will open the cycle with a night defined by character and freedom. On February 14, Valentine’s Day, the nostalgic and luminous pop of The Cardigans will envelop the park with songs that have transcended generations. On February 15th, the symphonic magic of Disney’s Encanto in concert will fill the air with sensitivity and fantasy.
The second weekend begins on February 19 with the intensity of rock from Arde Bogotá and Silvestre y La Naranja, bringing youth, energy, and sonic depth. On February 20, urban rhythms take center stage with Justin Quiles and Ovy on the Drums, who will get the crowd dancing with infectious beats and contemporary lyrics. To close the cycle on February 21, the elegance and romanticism of Jerry Rivera will fill the night with salsa charged with nostalgia and emotion.
Ondas Experience
As the sun sets, Simón Bolívar Park will transform into a meeting point for tardeo: friends raising a toast, couples in conversation, travelers discovering new flavors. Ondas arrives with a curated gastronomic offering, designed for those who want to arrive early, taste, share, and let the night envelop them before the music begins.
When the lights come on, and the first chords resonate, time will seem to stand still. There will be no rush or distraction, only full attention to every note. And when the show ends, the experience will continue with Bogotá-style after-parties—the kind that extend the emotion and make the night feel endless.
More than an event, Ondas is an invitation to change your frequency. To turn down the noise, look around, and let the music set the pace. In a city that never sleeps, this festival proposes listening closely, feeling calmly, and living each moment as if it were unrepeatable. Because in Bogotá, this February, the waves will not only be heard; they will be felt on the skin.
