Festigàbal 2016: Los Ganglios + Les Sueques + Bigott + Futuro Terror + Los Mambo Jambo + Da Souza

We've been waiting a long time around here for one of our favourite spots to open back up for live music, as Heliogàbal's been closed for a few months until they can solve some problems and pay some fines incurred thanks to a few unfortunate claims against them for noise. But that's not stopping the Gràcia locals from getting in on their neighbourhood festival with their 11th annual Festigàbal music festival, in the Sedeta gardens on August 18 and 19. On Thursday 18 you can check out live acts from the mad trio Los Ganglios with their punk, cumbia, power point, hardtecno and romantic ballads; accelerated pop punk, skirts and noise from Les Sueques; and from Zaragoza it's Biggot, who, with his latest album leaves behind the more Americana sound and changes his Spanish guitar for an electric one. Taking the stage on Friday are Futuro Terror, from Alicante, with their energetic garage sound; the explosive mix of rock 'n' roll with fiery R&B from Los Mambo Jambo, who released their third album, 'Jambology', this year; and the vital punk pop that's full of hits from the quartet Da Souza.
