Among the not so obvious musical citations of the Madrid Festival Circuit that have settled in recent years, we must talk about blockparty, which is celebrated in the black esplanade of Madrid Río, Arganzuela and already has four editions. The fifth has just announced and dated July 5.
Although Bloc Party will not act in Blockparty, other guitar groups will be done as good. In 2025 the confirmation of the Lemon Twigs, renovators of the harmonies of the 60s that continue to present one of the best albums of 2024, ‘A Dream Is All We Know’ stand out.
Blockparty’s taste for the 70’s garage rock, which marks its editorial line, is ratified again with the confirmations of two debtor bands of this sound. On the one hand, the New Yorkers The Mystery Lights, who already intervened in the first edition of the Festival, in 2021; And, on the other, the Valencians Wau and the Arrghs !!!, well known from the Spanish stages, because they have been active since 2002.
Blockparty programming usually has international rock and punk groups not so easy to see otherwise in Spain: in 2024 they went through its Madrid edition and its deduble Barcelona Wyldlife and Pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs pigs, in addition to the band Bala revelation, among others.
Blockparty 2025 tickets are already on sale at a price of 40 euros + management expenses on the event website.
