Apparently, Spain is the place to be this summer for musicians. Sara Stoltz gives you all you need to know about who’s playing, where to go and even how to camp at the ever-growing list of summer music festivals
We hope you saved your money this spring, because some of the biggest names in music are making their way to our fair peninsula for our listening pleasure. Joining staples such as FestiMad and Summercase are newcomers Ola, Daydream, and Rock in Rio. Daydream, in Barcelona, might be around for the long haul, if its first-year headliner Radiohead is any indication. If dancing for a weekend on the beach is more your thing, head to Almería for Creamfields Andalusia, the best electronic party all summer. Or start practicing your headbanging for Zaragoza’s Monsters of Rock, which features none other than Iron Maiden this year. And don’t miss out on at least one day of Rock in Rio, the festival started in Brazil that’s now travelling the world. Who knows when it will pass our way again? And who knows if Amy Winehouse will live to see another year of touring? Best to buy tickets now.
