I would never camp in Spain in Summer - intense heat and bright early mornings.

ah bollox!!!! was hoping for a better replacement more to my tastes. 3rd day is insipid in comparison to the first 2.

Not that it comes as much of a surprise, but another band booked for the yet to be announced Cala Mijas 👀

At a dozen odd names, feels light on enough enticement to get people to commit their Summers to this.

Really hope we hear something soon! Anyone have any insider in on when?

It's really dragging on now.. I wonder are they waiting on some of the artists to announce their own tours first. Someone mentioned Noel Gallagher as a possibility on here. He was announced for a gig in Dublin near the end of August and the promoters had to issue an apology as it was announced too early.

Absolutely pure guess work and assumptions here but looks like they are still posting the first wave of acts on Instagram and still have 4 to get through. Last year they announced the day splits and the full lineups on March 2nd.

I reckon we'll get more names at the end of this month, beginning of next month as we did last year.

Really hoping for Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Prodigy & Bicep to be added 🤞

Eh, not really? A few double bookings in the same year are fine (there were a few last year), but to think of it as a rule would be silly, it'd end in cannibalising the demand, so not really worth the cost.

From my point of view that’s the key, doble booking seems to be the strategical step Last Tour International has set to win bands over the giant Madcool (Livenation) being the same weekend in Spain. A very clever strategy if I may.

Yeah, but that approach has its limits. When they end up with sth like BBK Live north and BBK Live south, what's the point for the customer to do both? Especially if one takes routing into consideration. There's a limited amount of artists available BOTH in early July and late August.

Phoenix, mentioned above, is a good example - they won't play Cala Mijas, cause they're gonna be in the States then.

The promoter obviously does a huge amount of double bookings for their new festivals, but Cala Mijas and Kalorama: a) take place during the same weekend, b) in different domestic markets c) with different environment for international visitors, one having the summer/sun/beach vibe and the other being the city festival.

Anyway, the future will tell who's right and actually they're a bit overdue with the second wave of announcements.

Seeing The Killers on the Reading and Pukkelpop posters on late august, and sharing the same day with Florence on Pukkelpop makes me dream of them added to CalaMijas on the Florence day too. I know it won’t happen but wouldn’t it be wonderful (wonderful) 😜

They are in Ireland and the UK that weekend

I’ve seen them many times and they are always great… last year I read that they were the best concert at Madcool 2022, topping even Muse. Althought the lasts albums doesn’t reach their glorious days when they go for the hits they are unstoppable and can still give you the night of your live…

Yep, terrific setlist, great sound, marvelous crowd, band on top form. What a night, and I'm not even that much of a fan.
