Amid the sea of summer festivals, VIDA hits a different note. This chilled-out, down-tempo festival is less concrete jungle, and more Mediterranean magic. Tucked away in the forest of the coastal town of Vilanova i la Geltrú, this isn’t just another music fest - it’s a summer escape. 

Why Vilanova? The brains behind VIDA want to treat their audience as people, not numbers. Instead of squeezing us into the city, they’ve chosen a more peaceful location with space to breathe. It’s all about creating an atmosphere that’s open, scenic and natural. 

And of course, the festival serves up some major acts and lesser-known indie gems both locally and internationally. The highlights this year include: Richard Hawley, Supergrass, Future Islands, Ezra Collective, Kae Tempest, The Lemon Twigs, Royel Otis, Firefly, and Benjamin Clementine.
