Renée Rapp and Ezra Collective, at Cruïlla 2026

Cruïlla continues to confirm names for its next edition and today adds two interesting additions. On the one hand, Renée Rapp, current youth idol, will visit Barcelona for the first time to present her second album, the highly recommended ‘Bite Me’ (2025). It is a work that has reached number 1 on albums in the United Kingdom thanks mainly to physical sales.

On the other hand, Cruïlla will offer a great opportunity to witness Ezra Collective live, one of the most prominent bands in the contemporary jazz-fusion scene, and winner of the prestigious Mercury Prize in 2023 for their album ‘Where I’m Meant to Be.

The festival had already revealed the names of the first artists last week, including headliners Pixies, David Byrne, Two Door Cinema Club and Bomba Estéreo.

Cruïlla will also feature, as was revealed days ago, Polo & Pan, Yami Safdie, Mishima, Mind Enterprises, Sampa The Great, Son Rompe Pera, Chico Blanco and Dan Peralbo i el Comboi.

The next edition of Cruïlla will be held from July 8 to 11, 2026, as always at the Parc del Fòrum in Barcelona. Day passes and tickets are available on the festival website.
