It's time for Cruïlla, an eclectic festival brimming with top name performers

The Cruïlla Festival is once again set to bring together groups working in a variety of styles from all around the world at Parc del Fòrum from 7 to 9 July. The two first days of the festival promise to be especially intense, and the music is scheduled to begin at midday and go on uninterrupted until 5 o'clock in the morning. The closing days looks more relaxed and is set to finish at 10.15pm.

The line-up at Cruïlla 2017 will interest even the most ambivalent music fan: Friday 7 July sees performances by Jamiroquai, The Lumineers, Two Door Cinema Club, Die Antwoord, Ani DiFranco, Youssou N'Dour, Kase.O, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Dorian, Aspencat, Pau Vallvé, El Petit de Cal Eril, and Luthea Salom, among others. If you head for the Fòrum complex on Saturday 8 July, you'll come across the likes of Pet Shop Boys, Ryan Adams, The Prodigy, Little Steven, Residente, Parov Stelar, Txarango, La Raíz, Enric Montefusco, Cala Vento, and Oques Grasses on the stage. The last day of the festival sees appearances by Jain, Morat and Holi Colour Party.

One of the differential characteristics of this summer festival, which is celebrating its 8th edition this year, is that, unlike other similar events, the concerts last 90 minutes for headlining bands, while other groups play for an hour. Check out the different packs on offer, as well as the options available if you attend the festival with young people under 15 years of age or in groups of 10 or more people.
