BILBAO BBK LIVE 2024

Bilbao BBK Live, my favourite festival in Spain, is imminent and this year, as usual, it has a great lineup. There are several reasons why I've fallen in love with this festival, it is much more carefully curated than other festivals that, seem more money oriented to me. It's like, although there is obviously someone who's making money, they take more into account the music and that your experience is positive. The surroundings are beautiful, the sound is quite good for being outdoors and it is wonderfully cool at night for Spain. The two stages dedicated to electronic are incredible, Basoa is a fairy tale and Lasai is perfect to see all of Bilbao while enjoying the music.

I would like to highlight my daily favorites, my essentials:

• The Prodigy, I think they need no introduction.

• Parcels: An Australian indie/electronic band that I met thanks to the Colors channel, I guarantee that as long as you're listening to them you won't be able to stop smiling.

• Underworld: I listened to them the first time thanks to their GREAT song "Born Slippy" that appears in Trainspotting, I already saw them on sonar a few years ago and it was so much fun.

• Jungle: It is a British electronic/soul/funk group that I met through their videos that are very cool, always with dances that are contagious.

That being said, I leave you my itinerary and in case you can't attend or you read it too late, it's still a very interesting list if there are any artists or DJs you don't know. I have to say that there are more artists that I like and I've left them out, but since they collide, I've had to choose. I don't know if I'll have the time for all of them, but being optimistic:
