The 2022 debut edition of Cala Mijas saw performances from Arctic Monkeys, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Liam Gallagher, Nathy Peluso, Inhaler, Blossoms, James Blake and Charlotte Adigéry and Bolis Pupul.

In a three-star review, NME said the festival saw “stellar performances paired with partying and some teething problems”.

“Elevated by the acoustics of the sublime mountain range that surrounds the site, there’s a constant party holiday atmosphere enveloping the 37-acre coastal enclave that is home to Cala Mijas festival,” it continued.

NME added that “this is a festival with plenty of potential, but one that’s also still trying to carve out its niche”.

In other festival news, Aphex Twin, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Slowthai have been announced for 2023’s MEO Kalorama festival in Lisbon, Portugal where Arcade Fire and Florence + The Machine are set to headline.
