Festival del Mil·lenni 2016

Not only is Barcelona a fantastic city for three-day music extravaganzas such as Sónar and Cruïlla, but it's also expert at hosting festivals that run for months and bring an amazingly diverse range of artists from around the world. Festival del Mil·lenni (Millennium Festival, which first took place in 1999-2000) is one such, and it makes full use of both the city's excellent concert venues and global reputation to attract names such as Joss Stone, Joan Baez, Woody Allen, Van Morrison and Yo La Tengo, while also showcasing local stars including tenor Josep Carreras, Valencian Paco Ibañez and flamenco performer Miguel Poveda.
