Pixies, David Byrne, and Two Door Cinema Club among first headliners of 2026 Cruïlla
Music festival held from July 8 to 11 at Parc del Fòrum will also feature Polo & Pan, Mishima, and Bomba Estéreo
US alternative rock band Pixies, American musician David Byrne, and Irish rock band Two Door Cinema Club are among the first headliners announced for the 2026 edition of Barcelona's Cruïlla music festival.
Aside from rock bands, there will also be Colombian electronic band Bomba Estéreo, or French duo Polo & Pan, who return to Barcelona after this year's Sónar electronic music festival edition.
Two Door Cinema Club returns to the festival after being the most acclaimed performance of the 2021 edition, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Bomba Estéreo also returns to Cruïlla, as this has been the most requested return by festival spectators.
Cruïlla festival also announced the Catalan indie pop band Mishima. It would be the group's first concert in the festival's history, as in previous editions, they were never able to play due to various reasons.
Other confirmed artists are Mind Enterprises, Sampa The Great, Son Rompe Pera, Chico Blanco, and the Catalan group Dan Peralbo i El Comboi.
The music festival will be held between July 8 and 11 at the Parc del Fòrum venue, in the same area where the city's largest festival, Primavera Sound, takes place a few weeks earlier.
Tickets have been on sale for weeks. After the first headliners were announced, prices increased to €120.
Cruïlla's last edition wrapped after a torrential rain changed its schedule on the last day. Around 82,000 spectators attended the event.
