In Poble Español, a festival has just been born, designed for those who don’t want to prepare or wait long for their beer.

Those nostalgic for 90s rock must go to the Sant Jordi club to see Roxette return with a new vocalist. In addition, EL PAÍS selects the best humor proposals from the Hilaria Festival.

Next comes The Most Folk and Country Cartel, presented by The Weather Station. humanity At 7 p.m. Then the Jayhawks shift arrives, culminating (at 10 p.m.) with the hypnotic audio of the tallest man on Earth. El Saturday Empieza (also at 7 p.m.) is another charming voice. Valeria June came to visit from Memphis. Owls, omens, and oracles.
