Music all year round!

The Festival Cruïlla gifts us, summer after summer, the best four days of the year. An unmatched musical offering, eclectic and diverse in every sense of the word, concentrated in a single place, the Parc del Fòrum in Barcelona, during the first week of July. But far from tiring us of live music, Cruïlla always leaves us wanting more, which is why we spread its essence throughout the rest of the seasons of the year across the city. In this way, both in autumn and winter, we can enjoy a part of the festival in various venues and theatres in Barcelona, in every corner of the city.

Thus, emerging artists of the moment share the program with long-established groups, the best local and national talent with international reference figures, and representatives of pop or rock with icons of traditional or electronic music, among many other genres. Everything you could imagine as part of the summer Festival Cruïlla lineup, but with a closeness and warmth that only concert halls and the uniqueness of the other seasons of the year can provide. A taste of the July experience to momentarily forget the voracity of routine and start getting excited thinking about next summer.

CYCLE CRUÏLLA TARDOR

Often, we can’t even explain why, but autumn has something that fills us with nostalgia, invites us to introspection, and drives us to tranquility. Maybe it’s because the cold starts to peek between the evenings and the early mornings, or because our bodies ask for rest after everything we’ve experienced during the summer. The Cruïlla Autumn, then, inevitably accompanies the emotions that this season brings: a dozen concerts that invite us to gather around art, in front of a stage and behind some strangers, to soak in a calmness that, in some way, our soul craves.

A calmness, however, that doesn’t have to be synonymous with stillness, but is more about the inner peace that a concert of a new artist we didn’t know gives us, a moment of dancing to the rhythm of our favorite band, the verses of that song we can’t stop listening to, or the feeling of slowly healing the melancholy that autumn brings. So, even though the Cruïlla Summer Festival takes place during the first week of July, thanks to Cruïlla Autumn, we never fully say goodbye, as this first cycle of the season replicates its essence in every corner of the city during the months of November and December.

CYCLE CRUÏLLA HIVERN

Every winter, the cold settles into our lives without asking, making the Cruïlla Festival feel like a more distant memory than ever, whether because of the time that has passed since the last edition or because of how long it will be until the next one. Starting in 2024, however, the Cruïlla Winter concert series will join the celebration that truly characterizes this season: the arrival of the Three Kings, the celebration of Carnival, and now, also the new Cruïlla Winter!

A cycle to regain our body warmth through jumping on the dance floor, improvised choreographies, and the connection with the other strangers who, when the concert ends, will no longer be strangers, but also to keep intact the flame that keeps us addicted to live music. Cruïlla Winter will become the perfect excuse to start the year with energy and will fill this season with the ideal plans to treat ourselves or the people we love: concerts by the hottest local, national, and international bands of the moment.
