Actual 2011

Festival Actual 2011 took place in Logroño from 2 to 8 January. The festival, which has now reached its 21st edition, is organised by the La Rioja Council. Call & Play provided the backline for the seventh time, in conjunction with AGT Sonido y Illuminación. This technical production team is highly regarded by both national and international artists.

This year 20,000 people have attended the various events. Among these events there have been 15 concerts of all styles of music with 27 groups and artists.

In general, all the concerts have been well received. The highlights have been Tricky, James Hunter, Micah P. Hinson, TSOOL, Mannarino and Bebe.

Luis Alegre explained that the festival has changed the type of concerts, there are now more in smaller venues and two groups each night in Palacio de los Deportes. This change “has been well received by the public, who appreciates the effort that has been made to bring the festival to the city and the fact that the concerts finish before midnight”.
