The legendary summer festival Cruïlla has unveiled the lineup for its 15th edition, set to take place, as every year, at Barcelona’s Parc del Fòrum from Wednesday, July 9, to Saturday, July 12. This year’s lineup features standout and iconic artists such as Gracie Abrams, Girl in Red, Thirty Seconds to Mars, Sex Pistols, St. Vincent, and Alanis Morissette.
As tradition dictates, the emblematic Cruïlla festival has revealed its full lineup for what promises to be a unique edition—an eclectic mix of genres featuring international and national artists of all calibers and styles.
The festival will kick off on July 9, led primarily by talented female artists. The lineup includes American singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams, who has already toured Spain with “The Secret of Us Tour,” Norwegian indie-pop sensation Girl in Red, who performed in Barcelona last September to promote her latest album, and Catalan singer-songwriter Lia Kali, bringing a powerful fusion of Latin pop and R&B. The opening day will also feature Mexican urban music artist NSQK, pop singer Maria Hein, alternative music band Trashi from Murcia, Catalan bedroom pop duo Balma, and Gavina.mp3, the project of Barcelona-based musician Max Codinach Sendra.
Keeping the momentum high, the second day of Cruïlla will celebrate the festival’s 15-year legacy, featuring artists that truly embody its essence. Leading the lineup is the legendary British band that redefined rock in the 1970s, The Sex Pistols, joined by Frank Carter. Other standout performances on this day include American singer-songwriter St. Vincent and Spanish musician Fermin Muguruza.
As in every edition, the third day—July 11—will be dedicated to internationally acclaimed artists with major global appeal. This year’s lineup includes Thirty Seconds to Mars, returning to Barcelona for the first time since 2018 to present their sixth and latest album, It's the End of the World but It's a Beautiful Day. Also taking the stage is the Scottish band led by Sharleen Spiteri, Texas, who will bring their unforgettable hits to the city, celebrating more than 30 years of musical success.
Additionally, during the Cruïlla press conference, it was confirmed that the band Love of Lesbian will perform two concerts at the festival on July 11 and 12. As a key reference in the indie-rock scene, the iconic band will celebrate their anniversary with two very special shows. "As the Barcelona festival most clearly aimed at the local audience, I believe it’s time to elevate Love of Lesbian to the place they deserve," stated the Cruïlla director about this announcement. This double concert marks an unprecedented initiative among Spanish festivals, reinforcing Cruïlla’s commitment to showcasing local talent at its highest level.
The final day of Cruïlla will close with the legendary Alanis Morissette, one of the most influential figures in contemporary music. Joining her on the last night of the festival are British indie rock giants Kaiser Chiefs and their Spanish counterpart, Viva Suecia, known for their melodic strength and epic guitar-driven sound.
The festival has also confirmed that it will maintain its five-stage format: Estrella Damm, Occident, Vueling, Vichy Catalán, and Vallformosa—the latter dedicated to a diverse comedy lineup. This setup ensures a comfortable and accessible experience, avoiding overcrowding while delivering a seamless festival atmosphere for all attendees.
This lineup further solidifies Cruïlla’s dedication to its people, celebrating music for everyone and offering an unforgettable summer experience.
