WHAT IS THE DOCTOR MUSIC FESTIVAL?
Although other macro-festivals have been staged in Spain, this will be the first ever featuring a great variety of cultural events taking place for three consecutive days, far from any big city, on the fesival’s six stages: top stars in the music scene playing alongside new talents and acts on the fringe, renowned theatre and circus companies together with the new tendencies of experimental theatre, the technological display of the Global Village hand in hand with the secular traditions of Pyrenean folklore.
Our aim : We want the Festival to be ruled by artistic criteria rather than purely commercial and best selling charts. Apart from Music as the main attraction, we want our festival to be open to all current cultural expressions, we want you to enjoy them in an atmosphere of tolerance, responsibility and respect for Nature, and, above all, we want you to have fun during these three days and nights, both with the Festival acts and with the facilities provided.
Parking?
