The festival will now take place in a new site in the city’s Villaverde District, as part of wider plans to transform the area into a cultural hub. The move is in partnership with Madrid City Council who, together with the festival, aim to create a new cultural meeting point within the Spanish capital.

It’s hoped that the new site will attract increased tourism to the area while driving the creation of new jobs. The new location will also be more accessible for festival goers, due to the extensive transportation network facilitating responsible and sustainable mobility.
