Sueña Torrevieja has urged the town’s governing team to take immediate action to ensure the future of the Rock Against Cancer festival, after confirmation that the event will not be held in 2026.

Spokesman Pablo Samper said he deeply regretted the suspension, stressing that the festival is “not just about culture or leisure, but about identity, commitment and humanity”. For more than a decade, the event has brought together thousands of people and raised tens of thousands of euros for local cancer support associations.

Rock Against Cancer has also received the Radio Orihuela Solidarity Award, highlighting its social impact and strong roots in the community. Samper said Torrevieja “cannot afford to lose something like this”, pointing out that patients, families and a cause affecting many local residents are behind the initiative.

Sueña Torrevieja has called for an urgent meeting with organisers, the search for a suitable and accessible venue, and firm institutional backing. If the 2026 edition cannot be restored, the party has proposed launching a major alternative solidarity event in 2027 in partnership with local associations.
