Biography
Ultraligera is a Madrid-based indie/post-punk band formed in 2021. They have grown outside the major-label system and in just a few years gathered hundreds of thousands of listeners across streaming platforms.
Their debut EP Europa (2023) was the opener, but the record that pushed them forward was Pelo de foca (2025): every stop on their Spanish club tour sold out, with several near-consecutive nights at La Riviera in Madrid.
Their second album, Lapsus (2026), is on the way. The accompanying tour runs through summer and autumn at the country's main festivals.
Milestone
In April 2026, the band received their first gold record for «Matanza en el Hotel» (Pelo de foca).
