With over 25 years’ experience, this pioneering cultural event has a unique format and content, making it a topflight international benchmark with its blend of music, creativity and technology. Each year it attracts over 100,000 people from all over the world, with a carefully selected programme combining artistic, avant-garde and experimentation with the latest trends in electronic dance music.

The Espacio Mad Cool covers some 100,000 square metres and was designed to hold 80,000 people. There are seven big stages, a comprehensive catering area and a full range of services. Take a ride on the gigantic big wheel, the event’s icon, and enjoy incredible panoramic views of the Madrid skyline.

Bilbao means green mountains, pintxos (traditional aperitifs) in the old town, the estuary, the Guggenheim Museum… and BBK Live, one of Spain’s most important music festivals which has been running since 2016. A varied selection of the greatest bands and artists have appeared here, including Guns ‘n’ Roses, The Police, R.E.M., Coldplay, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Cure.
This event was founded over 20 years ago by a group of young people from Aranda de Duero (Burgos) and has become one of the festivals on the music calendar not to be missed, winning the prize for best musical festival in Spain in 2012.
Every year, the Playa del Arenal in Burriana is the place to be for thousands of “Sounders”. The main stage right opposite the Mediterranean is just the place to enjoy the sensation of dancing on the sand under the moonlight and even watching the sunrise, because the music doesn’t stop until 7 am.
The programme includes concerts, performances and experiences with a strong emotional content. The synergy between sound and vision makes for live shows which, rather than concentrating on aesthetic and musical values, provide the audience with an incredible, unique experience.
Four days, four stages and 100 bands playing hard rock, hardcore, punk, and heavy metal in all its versions. This is the Resurrection Fest in a nutshell and which takes place in mid-July in amazing natural surroundings in the fishing village of Viveiro (Lugo).
Fancy seeing your favourite bands but without the crowds? Would you rather have variety than quantity? These are the key attractions for Cruïlla, which takes place over a weekend in July in the Parc del Fórum in Barcelona. An event not to be labelled, for listening to music without prejudice and where the audience play a leading role.
