If you’re thinking about a music festival in 2010 and a worried about the mud and wellies which generally come with UK events like Glastonbury then why not think about a trip to Spain for either Summercase, or Benicassim.
Summercase is hosted each year in Barcelona, and its a fantastic location if you want a bit of sun, sea and sand while also seeing some of the worlds biggest acts at the festival.
I went in 2008 with a group of mates, and the went for 4 days, spending 2 at the beach. Rather than camping you can simply stay in the heart of Barcelona so we got a luxury serviced apartment which was ideal. The events in Barcelona usually take place from early evening until about 4am due to the weather being too hot to host during the day so you get the best of both worlds; a day at the beach and an evening of rock n roll mayhem.
I saw Kings of Leon, The Verve, Ian Brown, Blondie, Primal Scream and many others – it’s really worth a trip.
The Kings of Leon, and possibly the kings of modern rock and roll are arguably the biggest band in the world right now. Their glorious mix of music has seen them rise in popularity over recent years with Sex on Fire being tipped by many as the song of the decade.
I’ve been lucky enough to see them play in numerous venues, as close as the Manchester Apollo, and as far as Summercase music festival in Barcelona last year. They’re my favourite band of the moment for their raw approach to music, and they’re awesome stage presence.
Their style and fashionable look also makes them a big hit for guys and girls. They really have put a foot into the life long music hall of fame now and will go down in history as a truly great band.
