does he have a future indie? If all that is not mainstream is indie, is it really a musical style with a defined aesthetic? Can a group or artist stop being indie? In recent years we have witnessed the apogee of this apolitical musical trend that has used the new distribution systems to reach a wider audience and has placed names like Franz Ferdinand, Wilco or Pixies, living with those of any world star of the pop or the rock. And all in a context in which there are innumerable media outlets and fanzines that have emerged under the umbrella of this genre.

5 reasons not to miss Phe Festival
Less than 20 days left. Phe Festival is here, and with the concert of 6th August on the esplanade of the wharf Cross port, a sample of the festival that we dream of having in Tenerife in the future. We know that devotees of good music will not miss the opportunity to join the experience, but if there is still someone undecided, we have chosen 5 reasons not to miss.
1. It is celebrated in Puerto de la Cuz
Ok, we'll throw the topic: any excuse is good to visit Cross port, one of the most charming destinations in Tenerife with a mild climate all year round, multicolored skies and an intense smell of the sea. And it is because its history is linked to the history of tourism and today it is evolving by leaps and bounds to become a benchmark for cultural tourism. It is true that Phe Festival It is not the only festival that is celebrated next to the beach, within the wide range of summer offers in our country. But it is the only one that takes place in a destination where you can take baths in the sun or in the water of the Atlantic in beautiful black sand beaches (Martiánez and Playa Jardín) with the masterful figure of the Mount Teide at the bottom. Without leaving the promenade you will find the pool complex Lago Martianez, a work of art designed by Cesar Manrique where you can refresh yourself with all the comforts. Because art and culture can be breathed in every corner, from the beauty of the mansions and buildings that are part of its historic complex, to the different cultural projects that support the Cultural Strategy of Puerto de la Cruz (ECPC2020), in which its greatest attraction stands out, a city focused on culture that transmits its enthusiasm to those who visit it. Go, an ideal vacation plan.
2. Great direct
Music is variety, and that is Phe Festival. Indie, rock, dance, electronic, artists to discover, the best national groups, proposals made in Canary Islands… Cycle, Of faith,The Red Room, Belako, Red Beard, Kostrok a firm commitment to groups that are a reference in the independent national sphere and electronics with international claim that do not usually go through Tenerife. Can we ask for more? Yes, Mr Paradise as continuity dj.
3. Innovation and Culture also in summer
One of the most interesting proposals of the festival program are the meetings Ph I+C, which this year will analyze through encounters, exhibitions and networking the value of culture as an accelerator of the sustainable development of cities. Among many other things, they will have ambassadors from two first-rate cultural projects, one recently launched, such as the Atlantic Museum of Lanzarote and the Benicassim International Festival, a veteran in these fights. If there is something that will be talked about, and a lot, it is the interactive installation of mapping from Simone Martin about sculptures of Julius Grandson. will be the friday august 5 in the Cultural Space Castle, one day before the concert.
4. Cheaper, impossible
One of the efforts of Phe Festival is to offer entertainment and knowledge for a more than affordable price. An 8-hour concert with 6 groups for only €20? As it is. And the best of all is that for students of the University of La Laguna the ticket has a discount of 20%. And above the educational-informative day on Friday, August 5 is free.
5. Things of good eating
If what you like is good food, you will have at your disposal in the venue where the concert will be held a selection of gastronets (say food trucks) Y food stalls with the most varied menus so you can enjoy live music like a maharajah. As if this were not enough, in Puerto de la Cruz you have a interesting culinary offer, where you can taste everything from the best Canarian fish with wrinkled potatoes and home-style mojo picón to signature cuisine.
