Heave Festival takes place on private land near Las Inviernas, surrounded by woodland, open fields and the Río Tajuña.
The stage sits within a secluded pocket of woodland, creating an intimate dancefloor shaped by the landscape. Nearby, the river offers a place to step away from the music, rest by the water and reconnect with the surroundings.
For one weekend, the site becomes the temporary home of Heave — a small gathering built around music, sound, art and nature.
Rostro Soundsystem, custom, handmade sound system based in Barcelona, specialising in open-air events, built with a focus on high fidelity, clarity and depth. Rather than relying on excessive power, their approach is centred on the listening experience — creating a sound environment that feels detailed, warm and physically present.

Each session begins in daylight, moves through the night and ends at sunrise.
Between the two sessions the music pauses during the daytime. The site stays open for everyone camping for the weekend.
Heave takes place in a rural natural setting near Las Inviernas, Guadalajara. The area is not well connected by public transport, so travelling by car or using the official Heave shuttle from Guadalajara is strongly recommended.
We strongly encourage people to share cars. Join the Heave carpool group to find or offer a ride.
Join the carpool group →Heave operates direct shuttle buses between Estación de Autobuses de Guadalajara and the festival site.
Take the ALSA R8 bus from Avenida de América to Guadalajara, then connect to the Heave shuttle.
This connection works on both Friday 25 and Saturday 26 September.
Camping is included free with every festival ticket. Bring your own tent and camping equipment.
The campsite sits directly on the festival site, roughly a five-minute walk from the stage — behind the main festival area, next to the river and away from the dancefloor, so there is a quieter place to rest.
Cifuentes and Las Inviernas are approximately 15–20 minutes drive from the site.
Availability in the area is limited — we recommend booking early.
Prefer not to camp? Here are some accommodation options close to the festival site. Availability in the area is limited, so we recommend booking early.

On arrival, please follow Heave signage and the directions of the parking team.

Heave is a small independently run festival, and ticket and bar income goes directly back into the project. Outside alcoholic drinks cannot be brought into the festival site or camping area.
Between roughly 10:00 and 18:00 the music pauses and the site stays open. It is the slower half of the weekend — breakfast, the river, and time to be somewhere beautiful without a soundsystem in it.
Heave takes place outdoors in a rural natural environment. Indicative conditions for late September:
Temperatures can change considerably between day and night. We strongly recommend bringing enough warm clothing to stay comfortable throughout the night and into sunrise.
These are indicative conditions, not a forecast. Please check the weather forecast before travelling.
