Some people travel for the love of art, while others do it for the love of music. Music, festivals, and the chance they offer to enjoy a great number of concerts in just a few days. With the summer ahead already in mind, we’ve selected the ones we don’t want to miss this year:
They announced their line-up in October, so it’s no surprise that fans are already counting down the days until they return to Parc del Fòrum, the heart of Primavera Sound. Yes, we’re counting down the days to see Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan; but also to give it our all at the concerts by FKA Twigs, Amaia and Kali Malone. And that’s just part of the 147 artists making up the line-up of this festival of festivals. And yes, we know you’ll need some sleep, even if it’s only for a little while. At our hotels in Barcelona, we’ll have everything ready to welcome you when your body finally asks for a bed.
It hasn’t even taken a decade for it to become one of the country’s leading music events. In its eighth edition, it will transform the Iberdrola Music venue, where the festival takes place, into a meeting point for talent, boldness, creativity and the energy of artists such as Iggy Pop, Kings of Leon, Thirty Seconds To Mars and Alanis Morissette. An ambitious line-up that will require you to recharge your batteries with plenty of sleep and the attentive service you’ll find at Sercotel hotels in Madrid.
Waking up in a hotel in the centre of Bilbao is a luxury. Waking up in one of the hotels Sercotel has in the city is a must when three days of festival await you. Trust us, the climb up to Kobetamendi in search of hours and hours of music will be worth it. The soundtrack will come from names such as Nathy Peluso, Kylie Minogue, Bad Gyal, Carolina Durante and Baiuca. Expert tip? Before heading back to the city centre, ask about the metro: special services will run on all three nights for those who want to avoid the walk.
Castellón becomes a very interesting destination for music lovers when July arrives. Much of the “blame” lies with FIB. In 2025, its nights (and days too) will be filled with the sounds of Residente, The Black Keys, Viva Suecia, Love Of Lesbian and Shinova. Expect plenty of jumping at concerts, late-night dancing and, of course, the occasional sunrise on the beach. When you feel you need a break, start taking a look at our hotels in Castellón. We’ll make sure everything is easy and comfortable.
It’s the other festival responsible for making Castellón a summer music hotspot. And here, in Burriana, they continue to raise the bar. They have plenty to celebrate: they’re turning 15. Will there be concerts? Of course. Steve Aoki, Omar Montes, Juancho Marqués and Besmaya… are helping shape an eclectic line-up. Plus, a couple of tips: keep an eye on their beach bar, which opens this year; and their new fun park, with inflatables and water attractions. With so much going on, you’ll probably need to take a break at some point. Sercotel hotels in Castellón are the locations you’ll want to have saved.
