The meeting of music and trends in Puerto de la Cruz proposes 22 concerts on two stages with Los Planetas, Digitalism, Viva Sweden, Maika Makovski and Xoel López as headliners.
Phe Festival, to be held in Puerto de la Cruz from 15 to 20 August, grows in its seventh edition incorporating new spaces and experiences at the same time that it expands the musical offer with 22 performances live. This proposal will fill the corners of the tourist city with music and trends, with a program that seeks to reconnect audiences and that remains faithful to the values acquired since the first edition: offering a perfect vacation plan in the Canary Islands in a collective effort to revitalize the cultural offer and external image, contributing to the social and economic development of the municipality.
The news and main details of the program were announced today, in an informative act that was attended by the mayor of the municipality and Councilor for Culture Marco González; the Deputy Minister of Culture and Cultural Heritage of the Government of the Canary Islands, Juan Márquez; the general director of Youth of the Government of the Canary Islands Laura Fuentes Vega; the island director of Tourism of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Laura Castro Hernández and Carlos Ulises Salazar, co-director of Phe Festival.
The festival takes a qualitative leap in terms of the selection of artists that are part of the poster for this edition.
