If we talk about music and, taking into account the infinite and varied list of confirmed artists, we can already affirm that the desert will roar again with techno as its first protagonist, but without forgetting urban genres such as hip hop, drum n bass , dub, house and even a touch of disco. In addition, the most extreme, raw and tense sounds will also have a wide representation.
Kicking off the list of confirmed artists and, for the first time in the Monegros desert, the rap legend WU TANG CLAN; The entire RZA group, which will be on a European tour this summer, has chosen Monegros as the location for their only show in Spain.
The Australian electronic rock and drum and bass collective Pendulum in Live format, the Spanish hip hop star Fernando Costa, the Navarran duo Iseo & Dodosound or the Madrid rap tandem, Ill Pekeño & Ergo Pro, also stand out as confirmed bands from an infinite sign.
Techno in all its versions is a key ingredient on the menu of this party with R.A.V.E format. Representing the toughest side, we find the Blackworks label, which will land in Monegrino sand with its heaviest artillery. The teachers 999999999, Charlie Sparks, Parfait, Dexphase, Nico Moreno, SNTS and Paula Temple, promise to raise a lot of dust.
