Paral·lel Festival has quietly built a reputation as one of Europe's best small festivals since it debuted in 2016, with a limited capacity, ridiculously gorgeous setting (Port del Comte in the pre-Pyrenees, 90 minutes from the city), pristine sound, and, most importantly, a stellar lineup of hypnotic techno, ambient and experimental artists, year after year.

This 10th edition of the festival has a typically fat-free lineup, from which it's hard to pull highlights given that every name on it could easily qualify as such. If we're pushed though, Donato Dozzy's b2b with Patrick Russell, Peverelist's set and Surgeon's "special guest" appearance will be moments to treasure. The main festival runs from Friday until Sunday, with the option to stay on-site and unwind until Monday morning.
