This July, Cruïlla Festival returns to Parc del Fòrum to celebrate its 15th anniversary, bringing with it a bold, eclectic programme that perfectly captures the spirit of Barcelona. Set against the sea and under the Mediterranean sun, Cruïlla has grown into one of Spain’s most beloved festivals—not by following trends, but by mixing genres, cultures and experiences with surprising ease.

This year’s edition, running from July 9 to 12, offers a lineup as diverse as ever: from international headliners like Alanis Morissette and Thirty Seconds to Mars to local favourites like Love of Lesbian, Pau Vallvé and Maria Jaume. The legendary Sex Pistols will share the stage with newcomers like Gracie Abrams and NSQK, while global acts such as St. Vincent, Seu Jorge and Africa Express promise unforgettable moments.

But Cruïlla is more than music, it’s comedy, street art, castellers, fashion and a deep commitment to sustainability. Unlike other summer giants, Cruïlla still feels intimate, proudly local, and fiercely inclusive. Whether you're here for the music or the atmosphere, the festival offers a unique opportunity to experience Barcelona’s creative soul at its most alive.
