Summer Nights succeed in Calella

The festival of music and live shows is back for another season in Calella.

June 28th saw the opening of a new edition of the NEC (Nits d’Estiu a Calella), the festival of music and live shows that accompanies the Calella town during the summer season and brings together some of the most important names in the Catalan music industry.

This is the fourth year of the Calella festival, which began its activity in 2021 and has continued its line-up uninterruptedly until 2024. The mayor of the city, Marc Buch, defined the cultural proposal with these words: “a complete experience that we can live in the fresh air of a summer night with the moon as an exceptional witness in the intimacy of an immensely small space such as the lighthouse of Calella”. The festival, which is held at night and in the open air, is the ideal place to enjoy live music, as well as the best views in the town of Calella, thanks to the location of the lighthouse.

The lighthouse of Calella has hosted during these four years some renowned artists such as Blaumut, Ginestà, Lágrimas de Sangre, Maria de Mar Bonet or Elena Gadel, and this year has made no exception and continues to bring singers who are on everyone’s lips: Guillem Gisbert, Manu Guix or Mónica Green.
