The poster brought together independent icons, the international magic of Phoenix or Milky Chance and the illusion of lesser-known bands that were the big surprise, the future of music is in very good hands. Split into three dates, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the energy had to be well distributed to withstand the adrenaline of the live shows.

After the energy of this duo came the calmness of the next artist, Meaning. The Galician, with the tranquility that characterizes him, interpreted all his repertoire effortlessly. We can highlight the interpretation of his last single I don’t want to be a singer and the presentation of an unpublished song that the public liked a lot. For the rest, a rather flat concert, which was the first big name of the evening.
Now yes, one of the most iconic bands of the last decades has arrived: Lori Meyers. With superb sound, they clearly explained why they are there. An authentic audiovisual marvel in which they performed hymns such as get drunk.
As if it were a dream, Lori gave way to another living legend, lesbian love. The most massive show of the evening, and the first after Santi Balmes’ operation, was an ode to musical romanticism with a message for the bands who left us due to the difficulty of music today; Izal or the killer swing They were the winners. 1999, fantastic fires or snowfalls were heard throughout the city.
With adrenaline at its peak, Varry Brava sounded in turn on stage three to give rise to Zahara. The artist surprised us with a rave version which was the icing on the cake. After the performance was over, many people left the hall on an evening when there were still Caroline Pendant. Diego Ibanezin his line, he upset the attendees with songs like Cayetano or the songs of Juanita.
Guitarricadelafuente, Viva Suecia and Cariño
After an unforgettable first night, it was very difficult to exceed expectations and Guitarricadelafuente took charge of starting the evening in the best possible way. The artist played at his home and offered a show under the sunset. The characteristic guitar and voice of Alvaro gets closer to a roll each time Good Iver in which auto-tuning effects were stronger than on previous occasions. El Contininio or Guantanamera sounded above the rest.
Afterwards, Rayden and Xoel Lopez they overlapped and caused a very big existential dilemma. Difficult to choose between two great artists, each brings his grain of sand. These were very exciting concerts during which Rayden announced in person that this would be his last San San.
It was difficult to keep up with the rhythm of the night and even more so when the best bands had yet to come out.r. Phoenix.the big international bet which did not have as many participants as expected offered a very powerful visual spectacle but perhaps a somewhat strange choice of songs with a somewhat poor central block of repertoire.
long live sweden They were awesome as always and they sounded wonderful. THE Affection They enlivened the third leg with songs like Te brillan and made it clear that the bands. To top it all off, it was time for a little musical disc change. Cupidled by skinny pimp, makes a splash on stage View View Tickets. Hit after hit, songs like It out out, Self love, A lucky bastard or All but you are letters that broke our hearts twenty times. Heartbroken but full of love, we say goodbye to another unbeatable musical evening.
The Grand Finale: Leiva, Alizz and Sexy Zebras
The final climax was coming, the last night, accumulated hangover and craving for more. the wonderful voice of Morgan It was a colder start to the afternoon than the previous ones. iron sergeant oh To come back They were the perfect songs to liven up the concert.
following, Luxury brought back the most classic indie in one of my favorite gigs. Adding a more renewed sound, the producer and artist Alice It was he who made us vibrate. With a very complete, consolidated and brilliant show, he was responsible for singing songs like Ya no vales or Before I die.
After the Catalan’s pop trapper, the performance of the other great international artist began, Milky luck. The German group presented the song Living in a Haze which will be part of their next album which will be released on April 14.
Right after finishing her show, Leiva was in charge of the Festival’s best performance. Each song was sung to the fullest by the public who gave themselves body and soul to Flaco de Osuna shopping center. An incredible repertoire in it there was not a single song that was not iconic. A shot of adrenaline that will be hard to forget. Then, to get some fresh air, it was time to Carlos Sadness with her tropical music she brought the Catalan artist Suu as a guest to sing Aloha.
We went back to rock with sexy zebras, one of the strongest bands at the festival that drove the audience crazy. Now to finish, the emerging group Cora Yako and Delaporte they ended an amazing festival.
