THE brainchild of the organisers of major northern Spain festival – Bilbao BBK Live – Cala Mijas Festival is back for its second edition in 2023. Set to take place from 31 August – 2 September in the picturesque town of Mijas, just south of Malaga in the famous Costa del Sol, acts confirmed for this year include The Strokes, Florence + The Machine, Arcade Fire, Idles, Foals and more.
The seaside festival is the perfect ending to summer, a 3-day bonanza located at Costa del Sol, surrounded by the beach, the sun and the sea. And much like its inaugural edition in 2022, organisers have secured an impressive line-up that features huge era-defining bands, indie favourites, heady electronica and local Spanish talent. The most recent additions include Baxter Dury, Underworld and M83 – joining the likes of Amyl & The Sniffers, Metronomy, Moderat, Siousxie and more on the extensive bill.
Sound like the ideal end to your summer? The festival organisers will soon announce the daytime programme of the festival that will take the party to the town of Mijas. Full festival passes and day tickets are still on sale via www.calamijas.com/en/, including payment options in instalments and camping.
