Some of the great festivals might be over already, but there is still plenty to choose from:
There is just one more day of Spain's biggest Jazz
festival. You may have missed Elvis Costello and Jamie Callum, but there
are plenty of other big names on stage at San Sebastián's Jazzaldia
festival this weekend.
Irie mon! Europe's biggest reggae festival is held in
Benicàssim every August. This year's biggest name is none other than Bob
Marley's most highly-acclaimed son, Damian. Plenty of time to organize your flights and accommodation!
Valencia's other indie festival Arena Sound also draws in some pretty big names. Running from 1-4 August inclusive, there is still a little time to organize yourself.
If you fancy some good traditional Flamenco, the 53rd Cante de las Minas music festival will take place from the 1st
to the 10th August in the town of La Unión, in Murcia. With
high-profile acts like guitarist Vicente Amigo and "cantaor" singer
Diego "El Cigala", Cante de las Minas is a sure bet for anyone looking
to get an authentic taste of grassroots flamenco. Olé!
Bilbao's En Vivo festival offers anti-crisis ticket prices for punk, ska
and rock lovers. Unfortunately, the Barcelona and Madrid versions have been cancelled. Dates are 29, 30 and 31 August.
Visiting Madrid? This Indie Rock event is perfect for those who want to see some high-profile bands in the capital.
For a little pop.... A blend of Spanish and international mainstream acts will please
all kind of music lovers attending Santander Music in northern Spain on 1, 2 and 3 August.
For those in a more classical frame of mind, Spain's oldest classical music festival takes place in the Basque city
of San Sebastián, with concerts being held through the entire month of
August.
Indie music... They call it low cost, but not sure if these prices really are... At €55 for Saturday and €41 for Sunday, sounds a tad expensive. But with a strong mix of international and
Spanish talent, it'll certainly make Benidorm a bit more bearable. Only two more nights left to go, so you'll have to be quick!
ART+TECH+ROCK: Barcelona's first ever MOBA festival is set for
the 13th to the 15th September. The event, which mixes music, art and
new technology, could be headlined by none other than the Rolling
Stones. But this isn't confirmed yet. Hey, but its worth being in Barcelona with or without the Stones!
So, to use a classic, "Be there or be square." Accommodation can be found for all venues here.
