Cruïlla BCN 2014

Cruïlla snuck quietly onto the scene in 2008 with an unassuming clutch of bands, before launching into something quite special two years later. Recent line-ups have included Cat Power, Iggy Pop, the Specials, MIA, Suede, Rufus Wainwright, Morcheeba and Cypress Hill, and there’s usually an impressive range of local bands, from the Pinker Tones to Muchachito Bombo Infierno and Macaco. Set in the sun-baked Barcelona Parc del Fòrum complex, the festival now attracts thousands of music fans who are keen to enjoy an eclectic and genre-crossing line-up of great bands and musicians in an outdoor setting for two jam-packed days, together with an ever-growing programme of additional on-site activities which range from circus acts and games to workshops of all types, together with stands run by a variety of social foundations.
