Cruïlla Festival Gears Up for a Star-Studded 15th Birthday in 2025
Ready for summer festival season in Barcelona? Cruïlla Festival just dropped its first two headliners for 2025, and they're not holding back. Cruïlla Festival, turning 15 next July, has locked in Alanis Morissette and Thirty Seconds to Mars to open the lineup. If you’ve ever wanted to belt out 'You Oughta Know' with thousands of other fans or see Jared Leto command the stage with his brother, mark your calendars for July 9 to 12 at Parc del Fòrum.
Alanis Morissette makes her Barcelona stop as part of her Triple Moon Tour. She’s set to light up the festival’s closing night on July 12—and there’s every reason to expect a blend of nostalgia and fresh energy in her setlist. The Grammy-winner, whose 'Jagged Little Pill' defined the 90s for many, will likely mix those classics with newer releases. And if history proves anything, she knows how to connect with audiences who span generations.
The night before, Thirty Seconds to Mars will bring the noise. Their sixth album, 'It’s the End of the World but It’s a Beautiful Day,' is a big deal for long-time fans. The Leto brothers are used to performing epic live shows, and their reputation for pulling out surprises—think crowd surfs, high-energy anthems, and those emotional singalongs—is well-earned. Cruïlla’s crowd leans eclectic, so there’s no doubt the mix of rock and cinematic flair will go down well.
Diversity, Legacy, and a Barcelona Summer Tradition
Cruïlla has always been about more than the headliners though. The festival prides itself on stretching across genres and blending music with visual arts. Last year, the Parc del Fòrum venue saw acts as varied as The Smashing Pumpkins, Avril Lavigne, and Pet Shop Boys, confirming Cruïlla’s taste for crowd-pleasers and left-field picks alike. It’s not unusual to bounce from hip-hop to electro-pop to guitar rock in the same night.
With its massive sea-facing grounds, friendly vibes, and strong focus on diverse lineups, Cruïlla hooks both Barcelona locals and traveling music fans each July. Festival passes are already on sale, with prices starting at €70 for a single-day ticket. Want to spread your festival fun over the weekend? Weekend passes go for €115, and if you’re all in for four days of non-stop music, prepare to pay €130.
Organizers are teasing more artist announcements over the coming months, and if past editions are anything to go by, the surprises will keep rolling in. Whether you’re a 90s alt-rock devotee, a stadium-rock lover, or just chasing that Barcelona summer buzz, Cruïlla is setting the stage for another unforgettable run in 2025.
