Get Ready for MAD.BEAR 2025
Get ready for an 8-day takeover of the Spanish capital! MAD.BEAR MADRID 2025 is set to transform the city into Europe’s largest bear event from Wednesday, December 3rd, through Wednesday, December 10th, offering a packed schedule of parties, culture, and camaraderie. With over 6,000 attendees expected, this festival is a marathon of good times, anchored by a daily routine and a nightly journey of international club sounds.
The Madrid Routine: Daily Deep Dives and Bar Hops
Unlike a typical bear week, MAD.BEAR MADRID establishes a daily rhythm designed to keep the energy flowing for the full week.
The Daily Deep Dive: Starting on Thursday, December 4th, the OCTOPUS Sauna becomes a daily hub, opening its doors from 12:00 until closing. Whether you’re recovering from the night before or warming up for the night ahead, the sauna offers a consistent meeting point.
The Bar Route: Every single day from Wednesday to Tuesday (18:00 to Closing), attendees are encouraged to follow the BAR ROUTE. This circuit hits several classic Madrid bear haunts, including Bears Bar, El 12 Bar, Thick Bar, Hot Bar, and Mad.Daddy Club. This route is the best way to mingle and discover the local scene before the main parties begin.
International Nights: The YASTA Club Takeover
The nightly highlight is the epic run of parties at the YASTA Club, hosting an array of international promoters bringing their signature sounds to Madrid.
The Grand Opening: The festival begins on Wednesday, December 3rd, with the official MAD.BEAR OPENING PARTY, featuring the sounds of COMPANY MILANO.
A World Tour of Sound: The rest of the week is a cultural exchange of parties:
Thursday, Dec 4th: Get your fur on for the MADWOOF PARTY presented by MAD.BEAR.
Friday, Dec 5th: The week features two major parties! The BEARBIE POP PARTY at YASTA is joined by the high-octane MACHO PARTY at Changó Club.
Saturday, Dec 6th: The glamorous POSH BEIRUT takes over YASTA Club for the weekend’s main event.
Sunday, Dec 7th: The famed FURBALL NYC brings its gritty, high-energy house sound to the Spanish dance floor.
Monday, Dec 8th: Keep the party going with STAY CLUB – ISTANBUL.
The week winds down on Tuesday, December 9th, with the BEEFDIP PUERTO VALLARTA event at the Mad.Daddy Club, providing a final night of celebration before the festival’s official close on Wednesday.
Whether you’re there for the culture, the bars, the sauna, or the non-stop international club parties, MAD.BEAR MADRID 2025 promises an unforgettable way to end the year!
