Fitur, the great spanish tourism fair, will have an area dedicated to music festivals

Music festivals are becoming an economic sector that moves amazing figures in Spain. In total, its economic impact is estimated at hundreds of millions of euros. Here are listed the most important 2018 spanish music festivals.

For example, the Mad Cool in Madrid in its last edition of 2017 got more than 20 million euros economic impact in the Community of Madrid and, in its next edition, will be held in a much larger venue, will go from a capacity of 35,000 to 80,000 people. Now if you add the rest of major Spanish music festivals such as Primavera Sound, Arenal Sound, Sónar, Download, F.I.B., Low Festival... It is not difficult to imagine where the figures of the economic impact of this sector are moving. According to the SGAE, the sector invoiced in 2015 some 194 million euros with almost 22 million attendees.

Therefore, the fact that the largest Spanish tourism fair, Fitur, from January 17 to 21, dedicated an area to festivals, rather than an innovation was a necessity.

Rock Fest, a major festival dedicated to hard rock and heavy metal at the outskirts of Barcelona, ​​in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, has announced that it will participate as a festival and as a promoter, the organizers of the event are RocknRock.
