Now in its fourth year, Era has grown from humble beginnings to become a highlight in the summer calendar, and now comprises three separate events. Era Electrònica kicks things off on July 1^st with Moomin, Fernando Lagreca, Skygaze, Radiocontrol, Olde Gods and JMII.

Then, on July 22^nd, Festival’Era is headlined by Detroit veterans Octave One with Begun, Dark Sky, Manel, Triángulo de Amor Bizarro and a host of others making up the carefully crafted lineup. The new addition this year is September’s Love Rave, a collaboration with Basque promoters Basoa. With Fourtet, Daphni, Floating Points, Ben UFO, Joy Orbison, Taraval and Brandon Hocura on the bill, it’s sure to be a sellout party.

The venue, Can Gascons, is a country house near Llagostera with 80 hectares of lush green land and an outdoor pool. Although growing with each edition, there’s still a DIY feel and a sense of intimacy that the name brand festivals can’t offer.
